Meatloaf...

  I remember back in my early college years I heard a song called, "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad."
I was mesmerized.
I had never heard anything like that before. It was tender, yet raw. I did some research at the local record store and bought the LP, "Bat Out Of Hell", by Meatloaf.
When I first put the disc on my turntable, I didn't know what to think...it was definitely rock, but there was what sounded like operatic melodies, r and b, and pop all coming out of this big guy's mouth.
I was hooked.
Then came, "Paradise By The Dashboard Light", "Heaven Can Wait", and on later albums, tunes like "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That), and "Home By Now/ No Matter What."
The best way to experience Mr. Loaf is by purchasing the CD "The Very Best Of Meatloaf."
Released in 1998, it features all the hits on a 2-CD format.  It's on amazon.com...
Buy it and you won't be disappointed.
