    MeatLoaf = Genius???? Discuss :)

    Pretty much explained it all in the title. Just been listening to the Bat Out of Hell album for the first time in years and I'm actually really loving it!!! I'm normally into punk/rock music like The Clash, QOTSA, New York Dolls etc so I have kind of surprised myself here.

    Epic rock operas RULE!!!!!
    Well, I can cut it in half!

    Whilst he is very talented singer (and yes, I am a fan), I think much of the genius behind Bat Out of Hell was down to Jim Steinman. The proof in the pudding will be the Bat Out of Hell 3 album, since the two are no longer on speaking terms.

    Cheers,
    Stephen

    I think 'genius' is a bit strong. Talented performer maybe.

    Matey who wrote the songs knew what he was doing, but Meat was a showman for sure...

    Only one to have voted 3rd! I have some recolection of some musically orientated organism called meatloaf being mentioned at sometime or another but have not knowingly heard its music.

    While theres no doubting Meatloafs talent as a singer/performer the talent in Bat out of Hell lies in the song writing and as such have not voted in the poll as genius is streatching it a bit.

    /me remembers fondly.... that it was the only album of that type/genre that my dad really used to like.

    it looks like the Meat Loaf love is strong here However, it would appear that some people believe genius is a bit strong, so how do i add another option to the poll for 'yeah he's good.......much better than 50 Cent'.

    I do understand that this option is a bit misleading as my ability to tie up my own shoes shows more talend than pretty much all gansta rappers combined, so you are basically agreeing that MeatLoaf has more talent than me........ However just having an option saying 'he's good but not a genius' is not a poll that i would want to be responsible for. In fact I would not want to live in a world where such a poll option existed.......I rest my case

    As much as I dislike 50cent (well just hip-hop and rnb in general, although im sure he is good at what he does? ) you cant really compare the likes of meat loaf and 50 cent as they are two completely different genres. I myself dislike meatloaf, possibly because its way before my time and more than likely because im into electronic music of all descriptions.
