Hey there,
Very interesting discussion..
I give these videos a 10++++ for several reasons.

1) Considering that music videos VIRTUALLY were non-exsistent, the quality of these videos is outstanding. That, and they show how important the visual aspect of the sound was for Meat--he is a pioneer of the genre.

2) Unlike many videos, these are like a 'Meat Loaf live' experience. For those of us that were infants when these were made(I was born in '79), who really wanted to have seen him perform Bat Out Of Hell at the time, these are completely priceless. You get to see all of that passion, power, raw energy and performance ability....in the comfort of your living room!! 25 yrs later!! He just never gave anything less that 200%, in his whole career--it really is mind boggling.

3) Okay, so a personal reason as well-I can't help it. The first time I saw a Meat Loaf video (I'd loved his music since I was 6) I was 13, just coming of age, and I saw Two Out Of Three Aint Bad. Well, I was young and impressionable, suffice it to say I had a HUGE crush on Meat Loaf for ALL of high School--he was just so damn sexy. (STILL IS)

4) If for no other reason, I gotta give these videos the 10+ because they still give me shivers, and I've seen them 100 times,now THAT"S an artist!!!

Cheers all!
