Meats albums!
 

Hey all aint been a meat fan for that loing an i have to amit i aint got many of his singles or his albums can you tell me which are some of his best please any help would be! I kno that all his albums will be gr8 but which do you guys think are his best? Any help would be great cheers guys!

Which albums do you have?
 

Why don't you tell us which albums you have, and we could recommend others.

Most people seem to prefer "Bat Out Of Hell" and "Bat Out Of Hell 2". The new album, "Couldn't Have Said It Better" is getting great reviews. There are some posted somewhere on this forum. I think it's gone gold or platinum in some parts of the world. "Welcome To The Neighbourhood" went platinum.

I heartily second Shane's suggestions, and I would add Live Around the World. It's a live album (obviously), with a good mix of songs from many albums. It also has the best live versions of Life is a Lemon, Dead Ringer and Rock and Roll Dreams anywhere- those three songs alone are worth the price of the CD. Until CHSIB came out, the Live album was a permanent resident in my car CD player.

Aah yes, Live Around the World...that is a great live 2 cd set to have. I think the performances on that were all or mainly taken from the 90s. Also there is a live cd which I have seen go by various names, such as "Live", "Meat Loaf Live" or "Live At Wembley" which has some great live stuff from a single concert I think ,at Wembley (in the UK) in 1987.

"Bat Out Of Hell 2 Picture Show" video has some live performances (my favourite live version of Life Is A Lemon is on there) and music videos from Bat 2. Some trivia: you can see a young Angelina Jolie on the Rock and Roll Dreams music video which is on there, and Robert Patrick who is in the X Files, is in the Objects In The Rear View Mirror video which is also on there. There is a video called "Live" or "Meat Loaf Live" (NOT to be confused with the cd I mentioned above) which contains footage of a concert in the early 80s and is the last one I know of to have Meat with that `classic 70s look': a tuxedo and red bandana.

Now obviously I (and others) could go on and on...so if you want to know anything else, just ask.

Personally, I don't see how such Meat fans don't love every one of the albums...

Very well said!
Bat Out OF Hell And Bat 2 are a must! I also like Hits out of Hell. :D

While it's true that we like them all, and that they're all good. Some are undoubtabely better. The Steimnan ones notably. Bat I and II and Dead Ringer. Bad Attitude and CHSIB are his best non Steinman albums (though two Steinman songs appear on BA).

Come to Tyre Tracks & Broken Hearts section and look THE STANDING topic. There are the albums what we like...

Going back to live around the world, if you're going after it, it may be worth while ordering it fro amazon.com in the US and not from HMV (the only place in the UK I've seen it. I did, and it saved me 8 quid!

I love the version of two out of three on this cd

We do! It doesn't mean we can't talk about which ones are better than others.

Get all of them there all as good as each other: but my recomendations would be - Welcome To The Neighbourhood, Hits Out Of Hell, Bad Attitude, Couldn't Have Said It Better and Rock n' Roll Hero!! What the hell get them all!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I couldn't narrow it down to only a few....although... Bat Out Of Hell, and the new one chsibm, are my faves at the moment....it canges though, aw shucks...get em all. lol.

I have a question about the Live albums, like live around the world. How many have come out? I know that there are the Live around the world and i think the other I know is called, Live at wembley is that right? Can somebody help me. I need this Albums, because I like to listen to ML singing live.
