Bat Out Of Hell is a Top 10 album of all time for me.  So, yeah... it most certainly was.

Maybe I can find a 3rd pun, cuz two out of three wouldn't be bad.

  Nice

Probably in my top 10 as well, but I'm a big fan of the second one as well (I liked III too).

[jingle.boy]

DTF, how I love thee.

@ Brian... II was very good, several highs peppered with a few lows (and some cringey song titles).  III was a crime against humanity.

Was it a Bat Out Of Wuhan ?

III doesn't hold a candle to the first two, obvi, but I think it's got some of Meat's best work.

Cry Over Me is a heck of a ballad and It's All Coming Back To Me Now is excellent. Alive, Monstro, Blind as a Bat, and Bad for Good are fantastic, I think.

I saw him on the Three Bats Live tour and thought some of that album's songs were really awesome live.

I was about to put on a Rogan podcast, but I think I'm going to give that album a listen now instead. 

[Stadler]

BOOH is one of those works that transcends.  I happen to like Meat; he used to live the next town over from me, and while I never met him personally, I did see him once coaching his daughter's softball; they played at a field at a high school I played against.   I wouldn't say I love all his music, I wouldn't say I love that "genre" of music, but I can put on BOOH I and almost literally sing through the entire album.  It's just a part of the tapestry, and for good reason.   The Phil Rizzuto thing is a SHADE dated; I grew up listening to Phil call the Yankee games on WPIX 11, so that was a hometown favorite, but I can imagine people hearing that now and thinking "who the hell is that weird guy talking over the track???".  But the rest?  That's a quality record, top to bottom, independent of the artist, the time, or the genre.  (I liked II and III, but neither touch the original lightning in a bottle). 



Trivia:  Ellen Foley sings the duet with Meat on record, not Karla DeVito (who toured with the band and appeared in the video).  Foley now teaches at what started as the "School Of Rock"; kids from that school opened the Jon Anderson show I saw about a year ago in Ridgefield.   They were excellent; 17 year old high school kids jamming out on Yes ("South Side Of The Sky") and Steely Dan tunes (among others).  I smashed my guitar minutes after arriving home after the show.

On the bolded point I agree wholeheartedly.  My beef with it is that I'd known the Celine Dion version for years, and Meat can't hold a candle to Celine.  Even the original (female band Pandora's Box) is better.

Maybe I should give it another shot, but when I first discovered it, I think I threw up in my ears a little.

My ex-GF's dad paved his driveway (did Ron Howard's a few weeks back too) way back when. Said he was very pleasant.

Where does Howard live (town, not looking to expose him)?   I knew he was in CT; but I had heard a couple places, including Litchfield.    Meat was in Easton/Redding (they are two different towns).  There are a ton of celebs in that area; I've talked about going to a bar up that way where Ritchie Blackmore used to hang out, and I was driving in Westport at one point and Paul Newman was standing at the side of the road (at his mailbox).  Keith Richards lives in that area too.

I think the whole baseball/sex analogy thing may be a bit dated too (getting to "first base", "second base", etc.); I am inexplicably addicted to watching music reactions on YouTube and have seen a few younger folks listen to Paradise and those references seemed to go right over their heads.

p.s.: I also grew up with Scooter, Frank Messer, and Bill White on Ch. 11

Yeah!   "White (he always called people by their last names), you huckleberry!"

My problem with Marvin Lee Aday is that he doesn't write his own songs.

[pg1067]

My problem with Marvin Lee Aday is that he doesn't write his own songs.

Why is that a problem?  Why doesn't anyone ever say that the problem with Frank Sinatra is that he didn't write his own songs?

[Elite]

Yes



But I stand by what i said. My friends band had their whole set on computer. They were all on a grid. No room for improv AT ALL. The MIDI even changed their guitar tunings between songs

and played backing vocals and samples at the right time so everything HAD to line up .

They all played AXE FX too so they basically were just playing the CD over the PA.

This could be a whole thread in and of itself. Interesting discussion, sure!

[who wants to tell him about jazz standards?]

[Stadler]

I don't know; you and I usually see eye-to-eye on that sort of thing, but I don't get the "writing" being so important.   By most standards, Elvis didn't write any of the almost 600 songs in his career; those were almost all "strong-arm" from Col. Tom. or the record company (songwriters were told "add Elvis to the publishing or he doesn't sing your song"; 50% of a million seller is better than 100% of nothing). 

Frank Sinatra.

99.9% of all famous opera singers.

[cramx3]

 

[lonestar]

Please tell me that was for an ED clinic or medicine.

[TAC]

 

I know right. "Honey I'm going to the urologist".



I think it's for some sort of compression socks.

Every teenage boys ‘cock in a sock’ could use a little compression.

[cramx3]

Lol honestly compression socks for jacofsky sounds legit

It's really the "SCORE" institute.  AMIRITE?!
