Worst Song Ever...by Meat

Elijah's way · 30 Aug 2005, 15:11

What, in everyone's opinion, is Meat Loaf's worst recording? My least favorite song is definetely "Dead Ringer". I just feel everything was a poor attempt by Meat,Jim, and Cher. They all could have done a hell of a lot better if they had really had their hearts into it.

P.S. This is just my personal opinion, do not take offence. Any one else feel there is a song out there that just rubs you the wrong way?

I think i'd rate Dead Ringer as one of my faves!

I'm not too keen on some of the mid 80's stuff....with all the daft dance mix lark and stuff...tbh i havn't listened to that kinda stuff enough to name anything in particular...i sorter just flicked through songs and turned it off. Not his best stuff!

LucyK! · 30 Aug 2005, 19:39

I don't mind Dead Ringer every now and then, though I think it's over-played and therefore has become annoying!

Not overly keen on Man And A Woman but I can't think of any songs I'd skip if listening to an album...I'll have a ponder!

djfierce · 30 Aug 2005, 19:47

i love you so i told you a lie was pretty duff

JGrayland · 30 Aug 2005, 20:15

Gotta be masculine.

"When it's time to get tough i'm masculine (masculine, oh masculine)"

ChloeLee88 · 30 Aug 2005, 22:10

Wow

well to be honest this is a really hard choice to make, i can honestly say that i like all of meats songs but..........if i had to choose one.........

Martha!!!! I like it its just my least favourate one!!
I like dead ringer i think its fun to listen to

........especially in the car, but the live versions are much better than the original recording!!

batloaf · 31 Aug 2005, 03:16

hmmm let's think since i don't have any all time favourite meat song i also don't have a All time Worsed meat song.

a few tracks from MALAF and BFIS would be at my bottom list

Priscilla
you can never be too sure about that girl
Man and a woman
Getting away with murder
Burning down

**allrevvedup** · 31 Aug 2005, 13:59

Like every artist and group there's going to be some songs that just don't work.

For instance 'you're right i was wrong' doesn't suit meat loaf at all. Maybe Michael Bolton couldve crooned it ten years ago!

A lot of Blind Before I stop and Midnight at the lost and found sounds dated now, Priscilla, wolf at your door, fallen angel, man and a woman, standing on the outside.

Compared to the amount of good songs he's had there's very few bad ones

QT · 01 Sep 2005, 13:44

Wolf at your door. I agree MATLAF and BBIS are the worst albums of Meat, although some songs on those albums are quite good.

Leah · 01 Sep 2005, 20:11

My least favourites have to be Priscilla and You can never be to sure about that girl...

Nick · 01 Sep 2005, 20:16

Hmmmmmmm

i like most all of his songs, but it all depends on what mood im in, like if im angry , usually i want my money back, or if im exited bat out of hell. I like all music, i just gotta be in a good mood for it. Oh and i love the song martha!

amethyst · 03 Sep 2005, 10:33

Nope, cant think of one i dont like ~ they all mean something to me in one way or another.

ames xx

strangely my grandmother really loves this song...i dont think she's got any meat loaf cd's but she's 79 and could have a secret stash of them somewhere!

wizardofodd · 03 Sep 2005, 21:27

i love the album "blind before i stop" think its realy good. i cant think of a song i least like atm.

DIZZY DRUMMER · 03 Sep 2005, 21:29

The only Meat song I have never got on with is "Martha"

Chris · 03 Sep 2005, 21:35

The only ones i dislike are Night of The Soft Parade, Priscilla, Mercury Blues (it should be law that no one ever gets to cover Alan Jackson!!) and BOOH

.

Surprised at how many people dislike Martha - i really like that

PanicLord · 04 Sep 2005, 21:49

Razors Edge - the first couple of notes just really turn me off

Winston · 06 Sep 2005, 22:18

If This Is The Last Kiss, that song is dreadful.
