Meatloaf died this week. 🙁 January 20, 2022
I’ve been a Meatloaf (Michael Lee Aday) fan for as long as I can remember. My older brother had his “Bat Out of Hell Album” in 1977, and then in I bought the “Bat Out of Hell 2” album in 1993. Every song good, imho! Meatloaf always had this theatrical, rock-opera thing going on, which I think is great! He stayed with that style all throughout his career. He seemed to be such an unlikely rock star because he’s fat and ugly from Dallas, Texas and born in 1947, but he carved out a career of awesome music that spanned more than 30 years.
I posted a few of my favorite songs here just for my listening pleasure, but you are welcome to enjoy them too…
His biggest hit song which reached #1 in 28 countries (beauty and the beast theme)…
Another good tune (dystopian or post-apocalyptic theme)…
Most pessimistic song ever (yes, I’m being sarcastic)
Another good one from the 90’s
Great epic tune! LOVE this one! Early 2000’s (2003) Another all-time favorite. You have the right to remain silent with your opinion…
You can watch this same song LIVE with full Melbourne Australia symphony here. Awesome!
A little jazzy…
And, of course, the 70’s boogie-woogie, doo-wop classic that put him on the map…
Then his appearance in Rocky Horror Picture show in 1975. I don’t really like this song (or the whole movie, really), but this was the beginning of his fame…
