Let’s Not Forget the Music

Because this is where I can jump off at a right angle from food from time to time, I couldn't help myself from taking a little side trip into what I'm listening to this week with the ten best songs of Meat Loaf, the Rock and Roller.

The man stood out as a 300-pound sex symbol during the 70s and 80s, with his songs gaining popularity through the mid-2000s, showcasing a powerful and versatile voice that covered both baritone and tenor ranges.

Some of these memorable songs include “Paradise by the Dashboard Light,” “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad,” “I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That),” and many others.

Meat Loaf passionately embodied the character in each song, delivering unforgettable performances.
