I grew up with sometimes hearing "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" on the radio etc. This I think was the most popular Meat Loaf song at least in The Netherlands before Bat 2. My dad had the Vinyl "Bat out of Hell", but I actually did not pay much attention to it. I remember while I was in The Netherlands "Paradise" had been rereleased or something like that and was quite popular round about 1991/2 when I used to go to a lot of school disco parties (I was about 12). The "it's cold and loneley in the deep dark night" bits had kids singing all long of course. Then in 1993 "Anything for Love" was released and I just knew I had to buy the album. The video was so impressive and it did really make a massive impact on me, instantly multiplying my interest in music by a factor gazillion or so.
I got Bat 2 straight away in Sept/Oct 93 and have been completely hooked since, collecting all Meat's albums and going to his shows.
