Bat Out Of Hell

Description

Has there ever been a greater, more epic, more theatrical Hard Rock album than Bat Out Of Hell (1977)? Featuring 7 small masterpieces written by classical pianist and composer Jim Steinman, with Todd Rundgren producing, this foundational album by Meat Loaf continues to amaze even today. This album is considered one of the best-selling, with 30 million copies sold. "You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)," the first track on side B, "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad," and of course "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" - can we imagine a wedding without at least one of these three classics? Steinman continued to work with artists such as Bonnie Tyler ("Total Eclipse Of The Heart"), Sisters Of Mercy, Barbara Streisand, and reunited with Meat Loaf for the album Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell in 1993.
