One of the most successful albums of all time, Meat Loaf’s Bat Out Of Hell yielded three hit singles: “Paradise By The Dashboard Light,” “Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad” and “You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth.” Its bombastic theatricality was like nothing that came before it, and little that’s come since, but Meat Loaf and writer Jim Steinman came by it all quite naturally by their training and Broadway backgrounds. Their collaboration resulted in a mix of overblown show music and rock that critics are still trying to figure out. The public, of course, beat them to it long ago.
