I feel personally that to have Meat Loaf as the main artist title, does carry weight

(sorry about the pun unintentional). I also believe that if Bat out of Hell hadn't been released with Meats name to the fore front, and Jim Steinmans in smaller case, maybe it would have taken a great deal longer to break through and be the worldwide success it was, and still is today. Although Meat Loafs name is synomous with Jim Steinman, Meat is able to release material using other composers and lyricists and still find success. Whereas Jim Steinman is responsible for his own music and lyrics, with no one else involved.
