If there is one album I think was "perfect" it is "Bat Out of Hell". Others can cover it but some things are just meant to be. I find Meat Loaf's interpretations spot on.
The cast album is OK because they are doing it in a different medium (theatrical show vs. rock album with theatrical influences). I do not think any of the cast surpass Meat's versions although some are pretty good. Everyone has their own opinions on that and if they think it does surpass the originals I am happy for them.
As for vocalists I would even attempt to put on such a product I suppose they could try with Adele, Michael Ball, and Jennifer Nettles she can sing anything.
