robgomm · 14 Dec 2010, 09:50

According to the ratings by White Of High this is the current top 10:

1. For Crying Out Loud (10.00)
2. Bat Out Of Hell (10.00)
3. Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are (9.84)
4. Paradise By The Dashboard Light (feat. Ellen Foley) (9.73)
5. Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through (9.70)
6. I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) (feat. Lorraine Crosby) (9.6

7. Keeper Keep Us (9.67)
8. Heaven Can Wait (9.52)
9. Everything Louder Than Everything Else (9.37)
10. Out Of The Frying Pan (And Into The Fire) (9.36)

However we all have our own preferences and my freind and I were discussing what would be our top 10. Mine in no particular order (because it's too difficult) are:

Bat Out Of Hell
For Crying Out Loud
Two Out Of Three
You Took The Words
Paradise
Objects In The Rear View Mirror
Rock N Roll Dreams
Peace On Earth
Song Of Madness
Blind As A Bat

I dont feel like listing mine, but this is my top 20, top 10 is halfway through:

YouTube Video

Mr. Happy · 14 Dec 2010, 12:49

1. Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are
2. Elvis in Vegas
3. Piece of the Action
4. Song of Madness
5. For Crying Out Loud
6. Out of the Frying Pan (And Into The Fire)
7. Where Angels Sing
8. Couldn't Have Said It Better
9. Testify
10. In the Land of the Pigs, the Butcher is King

This changes regularly, but this 10 are always somewhere around the top <3 My favorite songs ever. The Hang Cool Teddy Bear songs didn't even have to grow on me, I loved them straight away and they've never disappeared from my favorites since

EDIT:

11. Read Em and Weep
12. Peel Out
13. Everything Is Permitted

I always seem to forget about Dead Ringer when I think about Meat Loaf songs

But those are VERY high up there too. Equal with the ones above

Cherry.Loaf · 14 Dec 2010, 16:04

In no particular order:
-Paradise
-Modern Girl
-Gonna love her for both of us
-Bad for good
-Rock and Roll Dreams
-Mercury blues
-River Deep
-Hot summer night
-Bat (of course)
-If I can't have you

THAT was hard! Also that's my current top 10 but they change quite often

My brain did register a "WTF?" at that one.

For a moment I thought the numbers in brackets were the track times in (mm:ss). Actually, I think that would produce a better list!

Evil One · 14 Dec 2010, 17:42

For Crying Out Loud
Objects In The Rear View Mirror
Anything For Love
Rock And Roll Dreams
I'm Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us
You Took The Words
It Just Won't Quit
Bat Out Of Hell
Two Out Of Three
Out Of The Frying Pan

JennaG · 14 Dec 2010, 18:59

In no particular order:

Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are
For Crying Out Loud
Testify
Read 'Em and Weep
Paradise By The Dashboard Light
Out Of The Frying Pan and Into The Fire
Bat Out Of Hell
Living On The Outside
Los Angeloser
Is Nothing Sacred (the duet version with Patti Russo)

robgomm · 14 Dec 2010, 20:07

I know it's not in my top ten, but i'm surprised noones had Left In The Dark so far. What a song!

The song - yes

Meat's rendition on WTTN - not so much.

youngJB · 14 Dec 2010, 21:52

My constants are:

1 - More Than You Deserve
2 - Heaven Can Wait
3 - Objects In The Rearview Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are
4 - Paradise By The Dashboard Light
5 - For Crying Out Loud
6 - Bat Out Of Hell
7 - Blind As A Bat
8 - More Than You Deserve
9 - Surf's Up (if Meat had sung the Bad For Good version, it'd be #1)
10 - Left In The Dark (same circumstances, would be #2)

I feel I should mention Exection Day and Standing on the Outside too, as if they were given a remixing, they'd make my list in a heartbeat.

robgomm · 14 Dec 2010, 21:57

I wasn't aware there was another version of Left In The Dark?

Evil One · 14 Dec 2010, 22:57

There's loads of versions. Meat's live efforts from the Born To Rock tour were stunning, but the album track is just not quite right. Jim's is ok, if you like his singing I guess

and Barbra Streisand's is woeful.

GTB · 14 Dec 2010, 23:36

In no particular order:

1. Anything For Love
2. Rock and Roll Dreams
3. I'd Lie For You
4. California
5. Blind As A Bat
6. For Crying Out Loud
7. Song Of Madness
8. Did I Say That
9. I'll Kill You If You Don't Come Back
10. Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad

Left in the Dark live IS awsome and would feature if there was an 'official' release. Also love It Just Won't Quit and Anything Is Permitted! Can't help but feel that IJWQ is the 'forgotten' track of Bat 2.

duke knooby · 14 Dec 2010, 23:37

And there is always something shattered, always something breaking through...

It doesn't really work!

May be Meat could go for the exasperated boyfriend changing the tempo in Paradise for a medley of;

"I would do anything for love... for crying out loud" or I "I would do anything for love cos I just want a bit of peace on earth"
