Favourite Meat Loaf song from each decade

AndrewG · 18 Jan 2006, 10:17

What's everyone's favourite Meat Loaf song from the 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s ?

Mine are:

70s: Bat out of Hell
80s: Surf's Up
90s: Anything for Love
00s: Did I say That

Pudding · 18 Jan 2006, 11:38

Ooooo, good question.

70's: For Crying Out Loud
80's: I'm Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us
90's: Object In The Rearview Mirror
00's: Mercury Blues

I'd have agreed with you on Surf's Up as it's a fantastic song, but IMO the Loafster crucified it. If Meat did it to Steinman's production as it was on B4G then yeah, definitely that would have been my favourite.

70's: For Crying Out Loud
80's: I'm Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us
90's: Everything Louder Than Everything Else
00's: Did I Say That

I don't think Meat's version of Surf's Up is actually bad, in fact I love it, but I agree that the production of Jim's version was much better. And at least Meat sang it himself

I bet the 00's one changes to a Steinsong once Bat 3 is released.

Hmmm this is a tricky one!

70's = For Crying Out Loud
80's = I'm gonna love her for both of us
90's = Left in the dark/ Out of the frying pan...sorry I can't choose just one!
00's = Did I say that

70's : Paradise By The Dashboard Light
80's : Surf's Up
90's : I'd Do Anything For Love
00's : Love You Out Loud

SuperLoafMan · 18 Jan 2006, 23:48

Mine:

70's - Bat
80's - Bad Attitude (Could have been any from the Rock N Roll Hero album)
90's - Left In The Dark
00's - CHSIB

That was hard,

60's: Once Upon A Time (Popcorn Blizzard)
70's: For Crying Out Loud
80's: I'll Kill You If You Don't Come Back
90's: I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)
00's: Did I Say That?

LucyK! · 19 Jan 2006, 14:11

Very good question!!!! I reckon.....

70's - For Crying Out Loud
80's - no idea!! Possibly something from Dead Ringer, but I love Cheatin' In Your Dreams, Special Girl, Piece Of The Action...too many to choose!
90's - Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through
00's - Because Of You / Testify

Not heard any of the 60's Popcorn Blizzard stuff as yet so will just assume I like it! lol

**Ankie** · 19 Jan 2006, 14:31

This is fun, your list is almost mine, Luce!
Just for the 80s I love Surfs Up best

but then I am thinking of it this way: vocals by Meat, but the music the way it was recorded on BFG.... (No offence, Rory...)

Paul191 · 20 Jan 2006, 00:39

70's- For crying out loud
80's- Surfs up
90's- Objects in the rear viw mirror
00's- Did I say that

Jeanie · 20 Jan 2006, 00:51

70's - Paradise By The Dashboard Light
80's - I'm Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us
90's - Anything For Love
00's- Did I say That

Very hard to just pick 1 from each decade, when there are so many to choose from.

Steve6 · 20 Jan 2006, 02:10

70's- Paradise by the dashboard light.
80s- Read'em and weep.
90s- Life is a lemon.
00s- Testify.

ChloeLee88 · 20 Jan 2006, 09:39

70's for crying out loud!
80's hmmm One more kiss (night of the soft parade)!
90's Lifes a lemon or objects in the rear view mirror...coudn't possibly choose between the two!

70's :: For Crying Out Loud
80's :: More Than You Deserve
90's :: Left In The Dark
00's :: Testify

Unfortunate that Objects couldn't make this list, but LITD is simply sublime. Both Meat's and Jim's are excellent (for differing reasons).

**Diane** · 20 Jan 2006, 14:39

70's: For Crying Out Loud
80's: I'll Kill You If You Don't Come Back
90's: Objects In The Rear View Mirror, though Anything For Love is very special to me too because it was so thrilling to see Meat riding so high again!
00's: Forever Young

LucyK! · 20 Jan 2006, 16:56

More Than You Deserve! That's my 80's choice!

Good call Alex!

djfierce · 21 Jan 2006, 21:44

70's: For crying out loud (for lyrics) BOOH (for rock quality)
80's:I'm gonna love her for both of us
90's:Anything for love/Objects in the rear view/Rock n roll dreams (can't choose

)
00's: Did i say that/ CHSIB

mikeloaf · 21 Jan 2006, 23:06

70's: Paradise.
80's: Blind before I stop.
90's: Everything louder.....
