RIP. Nobody else in the rock era did lush, over-the-top ballads like him.

“It beats Perry Como, doesn’t it?”

Not necessary. Perry Como was good too.

I’m sure Rick Beato will have a nice tribute.

Bummer man!. The 1st BAt album was one of the greatest. I am glad He and Meat reconciled what ever differences they had before Jim passed.

She said, “hey baby do you like meatloaf?”

“Sure thing, honey”

She put this LP on the turntable, turned towards me and asked, “would you like some supper?”

I was confused, “I thought we were having meatloaf?”

Comparing Meat Loaf to Springsteen is an insult to Mr. Loaf.

Jim wrote rock opera. Some of it very good, and some of it not so good. RIP. Springsteen did it too with Born To Run, though Springsteen aficionados hate to admit that.

Springsteen was smart enough to tone down the rock opera content in future albums...IMO that rock opera sound is limited.

I turned 16 years old when "Bat Out Of Hell" came out in 1978. I guess I was in the target demographic!

Yeah, I had it on cassette and I played the hell out of it while cruising around in my father's Chrysler Newport.

Yet another musical icon from my youth dead.

Soon I will only be left with Keith Richards and Willie Nelson. Maybe Bob Dylan.

Damn! That’s awful news. Wrote one of the greatest rock and roll albums of all time.

He wrote some powerful songs that rival Queen in terms of Grandiosity. And I liked them more.

He was the musical giant that many fans don’t know.

Rest In Peace.

RIP! Here in NJ (and maybe elsewhere I don’t know) it is a new tradition to sing “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” at all weddings. The guys and girls sing the different parts and it’s always hilarious and wonderful fun.
