1. Oh, Bat Out of Hell was just fine back in the day,

Still like to listen to it once in a great while. Also his work in the Rocky Horror Picture Show was fine. Just because he endorsed Romney doesn't mean that I going to damn his artistic work all to hell. Is he great, no, but he has his moments.

[hiphopnation]

9. Right!

Bat Out Of Hell! From nineteen-seventy-which-year-again? The seventies is so jam packed, wall-to-wall full of great music. Meatloaf is, and always was, way, way down on the list for me. And sure, he did a workman's job singing and performing a very minor role of material written by someone else in RHPS. I agree. There's just always been something about his music that bugged me. And this is enough to never have to ponder it again in what remains of my life. Fixed it!

[monmouth]

11. And let us not forget "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad." Still love that song..n/t

[hamsterjill]

15. Me, too.

Didn't know Meatloaf was a Repuke. Very disappointing.

[Bluenorthwest]

13. Bat Out of Hell is music by Jim Steinman, sung by Marvin Lee 'Meatloaf' Aday...

the just fine part was always Jim. Aday had a great voice. That's all he had.

2. +1 nt

[TwilightGardener]

3. Meatloaf sucks, has always sucked, and sucks more today than ever.

Why anyone would want to hear a sweaty doofus singing faux-operatic "rock" is beyond me. Total cheese.

[hiphopnation]

12. +1000

[kysrsoze]

14. Always hated his music, but loved him as Bob in Fight Club. Guess that movie was just a job for him

You'd think he would've learned something from it.

But just like some other has-beens (Dennis Miller, Adam Carolla, the now-deceased Ron Silver), I guess they have to try to pay the bills somehow, and who needs dignity anyway?

[hiphopnation]

16. OMG Totally forgot about that

Yes, he was good in that movie.

[BarbaRosa]

33. I saw him in another movie I sorta liked,

Roadie with Art Carney, Deborah Harry, a host celeb cameos- Alice Cooper,Roy Orbison, Asleep At The Wheel. . .

It was so bad it was good in a cult fashion.

I tend to agree with TwilightGardener "Why anyone would want to hear a sweaty doofus singing faux-operatic "rock" is beyond me."

4. Meatloaf. It's what's for dinner.

In the fifties.

[txdemsftw]

8. LOL!

[MrScorpio]

5. Don't worry, he should end up in an SNL skit this coming weekend nt

[Tommy_Carcetti]

6. I don't know, my mom made a pretty decent one back in the day.

Even better were her schnitzel meatballs. Great with a side of kasha.

Oh, wait, you mean that Meatloaf?

Yeah, he sucks.

[gollygee]

7. I have always hated his "music"

I think the guy who used to be married to Shania Twain wrote it, but I still blame him for choosing to make it so public.

[hiphopnation]

10. Jeff "Mutt" Lange

Man, I found out later he wrote a bunch of Def Leappard material as well. That guy is responsible for unleashing a SHITSTORM of crappy music on the world!

[treestar]

17. I always hated his music

Especially the cynical anti-romantic lyrics.

[laundry_queen]

19. Me too

they used to play his shit at our dances when I was a teen (and this was in the late 80's) and I hated it THEN. Every single time I hear his music I change the station or walk out of the store. It's just horrible.

[dawg]

26. I would do anything for love ...

but I won't do that.



(And normally, I don't mind cheesy things. But Meatloaf has always been a bridge too far for me.)

[laundry_queen]

34. Ugh, I SO fucking hated that song.

is right. Oh, how they played that song and video over and over and over.

[lunasun]

18. at bush inauguration

'This is the most important election in the history of the United States," Meat Loaf explained. "Because there has storm clouds come over the United States. There is thunderstorms over Europe. There are hail storms--and I mean major hail storms--in the Middle East. There are storms brewing through China, through Asia, through everywhere… I want you to know there is one man who will stand tall in this country and fight the storm and bring the United States back to what it should be. Gov. Mitt Romney!"

Romney, the singer continued after another song, has "backbone." He urged the audience to contact Democrats and ask them to back Romney's bid for the presidency--adding that he'd been doing the same "for a year."

Meat Loaf was a big bush fan
also I thought these types were all about speaking english

[hollysmom]

20. How xcome so many of the drug brain addled performers are supporting Romney?

So many of them are still on drugs - kid Rock anyone - scum of a man. Have they ever done anything good or not self serving for anyone, started or really supported a real charity?

I just see so many blowhards on the RR team.

OK, it is sort of out of my system for the moment.

[TwilightGardener]

21. Republicanism attracts the washed-ups and going-nowheres.

[hollysmom]

23. But we are talking about cheating husbands and drug users and drunks

isn't that against family values?

[TwilightGardener]

24. Well, they are also shameless hypocrites.

[hiphopnation]

25. right

hollysmom, don't try to make sense out of it, you'll give yourself an aneurysm!

[DinahMoeHum]

22. Oh, Marvin, . . ."I'll do anything for you. . ."

". . .but I won't. . .do. . .that. . ."




"ya big hunk of meatloaf" (his football coach, back in the day)

[Aerows]

27. I like meatloaf

Especially with a good mushroom gravy on it.

Oh, you meant Meatloaf. No, I don't like that Meatloaf

[danbenbow]

28. Meatloaf = has-been

Meatloaf is exactly what you would expect of a Republican "celebrity." The guy had one hit album, way back in the day, largely thanks to his producer, Todd Rundgren. He f'd up his life and decided to go straight, then swung all the way around to the hard right. What a joke of a human being. Ultimately, he's responsible for this ugly, ugly, agenda:

[blueamy66]

30. one hit album?

He had a few and I enjoyed his music. It reminds me of the good old days.

Just because you don't like his music.....

To each his/her own.....

But it is disappointing that he is backing mitt.

[FSogol]

29. "From the day he was born. He was trouble. He was the thorn, In his mother's side. She tried in vain

[Blue Owl]

31. Turkey Loaf has some high blood pressure

n/t

[hiphopnation]

32. So, just to wash the crud from everyone's palette

Here's some REAL music from the nineteen seventies. Music from that era that SHOULD be replayed frequently, often, repeatedly. Music that I would still love even if every single member of this band came out and endorsed Mitt Romney today (FAT CHANCE!!). Enjoy!
