what’s in your cd player?

quote[quote]Mary Beth, I’m not sure if you’re familiar with the original version of this. When Jim Steinman originally wrote the intended sequel to Bat out Hell, Mr Loaf decided to pass and so he recorded the song (and album) himself. The album ‘Bad for Good’ is good for a laugh or two , and the original song is preferable to the ‘remake’ that accompanied the official follow up in IMAO. [/quote]

[img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] nope i didn’t know that Bonnee and thanks for the info. but to be honest i really don’t even know who Jim Steinman is. [img]images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img] i am musically illiterate. i have listened to music all of my life but i was never really interested in the ‘details’. i just like listening to it. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] i do actually listen to very different types of music when i do listen to it. i jump around from classic rock, jazz, classical, salsa, reggae, to name a few. i even like some of the new stuff-rap, hip-hop, goth, trash, etc… i guess what i am trying to say is to me music is very simply, music. i listen to enjoy it! if i don’t like something i switch the station. i don’t get lost in the details, i get lost in the music! it does a good job of taking me away for a little while and that is a good thing! but if you don’t mind i am interested in who Jim Steinman is and what he had to do with Sir Meatloaf. yes i do know a little about Meatloaf, don’t ask me how, i really couldn’t tell ya! but i know that he was Knighted and he was classically trained for opera. he also appeared in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”. i seem to recall that his father gave him that nickname and that it was not in a good way. i think his father was rather mean to him! one of my favorite songs off of the first “Bat Out Of Hell” LP was called “For Crying Out Loud”. at least i think that is the title. it has been almost 20 years since i even thought about that album! LOL this was the one with “Paradise By The Dashboard Light” and “Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad”. my friends and i would actually act out “Paradise By The Dashboard Light” on the dance floor at the bar we used to hang out at (usually on nickel beer night) LOL !!!
