I can't say 'better' in either case. I think the versions are quite different, I find them both brilliant...I can say that I PREFER Meat and Bob's versions to Rod Stewart's, but that's just my opinion...
On the topic of this song, however, I'd just like to add that when Meat sings:
"and your song may it be sung"
that lyric, in a way, feels very personal, because my song HAS been sung- by Meat Loaf, for over 25 years. He's been singing the songs that have touched me, made me laugh, cry, regret, remember- and most importantly- really rock!
That doesn't sound cheesy does it? I really mean it in my own humble way- he's been my all time favorite artist since I first figured out how to work a record player.
