I quite like some of Meat Loaf's stuff. His old stuff was pretty damn cheesy, but Bat Out of Hell (the song) is awesome, and some of his slightly later stuff was pretty good. Welcome to the Neighbourhood is an awesome album.

Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.

Don't know the Meatloaf song, but I really can't stand Don't Stop Believing.

I didn't particularly like it even before Glee made it inescapable. Pretty dull and sugary for a start, but it was basically that song that everyone seemed to think was their own special song that only they and their boyfriend or their parents or their climbing society knew about. "Nobody appreciates the classics any more," or whatever, so it kind of annoyed me that it was so interminable. Nowadays, though, it's so ubiquitous that I just go "Oh god" whenever it comes on. Tedious.

Mom always made great meatloaf, you'd probably like it now since you're not a pansie about onions anymore.

Exactly, hoe skank.


On Topic: Meatloaf is a decent actor in what I've seen him in. His music is not for me though.

Well then let me refresh your memory: Kristanna Loken's boobs, terrible acting big sword guy and Meatloaf: the head of the vampires. That's Bloodrayne.

Meatloaf was pretty epic in the Tenacious D movie though.

I only remember the boobs and bad acting, which reminded me of that brain cancer called "Freddy Vs. Jason". :(

Is the Dashboard song the one where they say ''let me sleep on it''?

Yup.  "Paradise by the Dashboard Light."  Classic.

Screw Don't Stop Believin', listen to some Wheel in the Sky or Seperate Ways.

That has the most lol-tastic music video I've ever seen.
Key moments:
keyboard on the wall
Popping out sideways from the woman
camp cat claws instead of air piano

watch it, at the risk of making all other music videos seem shit...

The only thing that could make it better would be more moustaches.

My mom used to play the first Bat Out Of Hell quite a bit when I was young. I think that was one of the things that laid early foundations for my tastes of longer songs...

That and Weird Al's Albuquerque.  :metal

The only reason Meat Loaf is all but relevant in my life is because he was in the House episode where Kutner died. Fuck.

My problem with the song is basically the entire second half.

The first half isn't bad, just kind of generic, but once the baseball announcer's voice starts and every drunk person within a 25 mile radius starts singing along, I die several agonizing deaths.

all Meat Loaf albums written by Steinman are great and all the ones without him suck.  Those two need each other.
This 1000%.  Paradise By The Dashboard Light is phenomenal.

Journey is also awesome, Don't Stop Believin' particularly so. 
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

I'm partial to the "second phase" of Journey, after they'd gotten Steve Perry and grown out of the proggy, fusiony stuff they did on the first three albums, but while they still had Greg Rollie on piano and vocals.  On songs like "Feeling That Way" and "Anytime", it's the trading off between their two voices that really makes it.  They really took off after Rollie left and they became The Steve Perry Hit Machine.  Some would say that that's when they really hit upon the formula, but I don't know if I like the later stuff as well, although songs like "Separate Ways" and "Line of Fire" still rock pretty good.

Meatloaf isn't so bad. I could never imagine his voice coming from that guy though.

Journey on the other hand. That song became annoying to me last year because the kids at my high school would never stop singing it. Ask them anything else about Journey, it's a blank page, but bring up Don't Stop Believing and they go crazy. I like Journey otherwise...
