I agree. CHSIB has some of my favourite Meat Loaf tunes (CHSIB, DIST, MOS, Testify) but also some of my least favourites ("Why isn't that enough", "You´re Right, I Was Wrong" , "Because Of You" and "Do it").

On the same page with all of it...

Personally don't see what all the fuss is about with Surf's Up not a song I think of much.

AndrewG · 22 Aug 2008, 15:15

Surf's up is fantastic I think. I do prefer the original Jim Steinman/Rory Dodd version. The drums are far more powerful on there, I just prefer the production. Having said that, the background vocals on Meat's version are great too. I think it's a great tune, but just not Meat's best ballad imo.

Not A Dry Eye in the house...jaysus i voted for a Diane Warren song...if somebody loves me had have been there i might have but the other category is getting too big just to put other down

I like the Beacon Theater version of Not A Dry Eye

By the way why is "Did I say That" on this list and not "Blind as a Bat". I would have opted for "Blind as a Bat".
I think the whole "What is a ballad" thing is important here. You could even class AFL as a ballad I reckon.

mszee · 22 Aug 2008, 19:39

BAAB and AFL in my opinion are ballads...but maybe AFL is classed as a duet...

There are reasons why there is an option called other

I never thought I'd Lie For You was a ballad, more like soft rock like AFL

A man and A Woman seems like a Jamacian wannabee, Special Girl seemed soft-rockish, and Standing on the outside seemed anything but a ballad to me but its all matter of opinion.

Only 15 slots you have to choose and cut and other was the best there is.

Read 'em and weep gets my vote.

Because BAAB is off BOOH3 and thats a Bat Album

if I put that on, why not FCOL, 2/3, or Heaven can Wait?

I'm sure FCOL will win in a landslide and that wouldn't be too fun would it?

AndrewG · 22 Aug 2008, 21:41

Good point forgot about that, lol.

Nick · 22 Aug 2008, 21:51

Is nothing sacred all the way with a close surfs up then read em and weep. It's just when he sings that last key change and his voice just soars and crushes that last note. thats the best part of most any song. Haha no booh? i geuss everyone would pick fcol! hahah heck i would

Nick · 22 Aug 2008, 21:52

then martha. i love that fricken song

AndrewG · 22 Aug 2008, 22:06

I quite like Martha too. Some people absolutely hate it (I guess they can't handle 3/4 beats).

It's just so repetitive and boring

**RadioMaster** · 22 Aug 2008, 22:59

it's not repetative it's emotional!
