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!

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!

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

:roll: 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

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

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

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

Nick
01 Sep 2005, 21:16
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!

I would say Masculine.. But if I listen it twenty times I think I going to like it.. That happens me all the time.. If I donīt like some song I listen it many times īcouse every time I hear it differently..

Space Monkey
29 Sep 2005, 00:31
Masculine is saved IMO by the excellent live version on the 'Objects' single. The album version is OK, but the live version, I think, is quality. I think it's really cool how Meat took a song that was relatively unheard of and, let's be honest, probably not universally like, and completely changed it; basically making it awesome.

"If you're looking for love... ohhhhhh you've come to the right place."

My two least favourite songs are "Priscilla" and "You Never Can Be Too Sure...". Both very eighties and just not Meat Loaf! Rest of this album is OK, with a few gems.

I didn't like Martha at first, but it grew on me. It's odd because most Meat songs are about youth etc, whereas this was completely the opposite. That was the point of the album though, was'nt it? The progression from young to old?

I like 'Because of You'. There aren't many more romantic lines than; "Life is beautiful because of you."

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


I think this could be true also in the case of wolf at the door,they are both musically unappealing but i like them though cos they like most ML songs they have great lyrics. I found a ML album called The Collection on a download site i wasn't crazy about the songs i hadn't heard from other albums

allrevvedup
29 Sep 2005, 19:00
Man and a woman sounds like pub rock and very bad pub rock at that, but with the dance beat that was on BBIS, a lot of songs come out like that.

the_bengal
29 Sep 2005, 21:07
When I first heard 'Do It', I thought it was the worst song ever done by Meat. Everytime it came to it on the cd i would have to skip it :( Then I went and saw The 'CHSIB' tour at the SECC in Glasgow and was praying he wouldn't play it! :oops:
But, it was one of the opening songs and I thought it was cool :-) The whole opening was (anyone who saw the tour will know) ;)
I can listen to it now, but i still don't love it.

29 Sep 2005, 21:57
Did anyone hear 'Oh what a beautiful Morning' on i think 'I'd lie for you' single.

Awful :barf:

Okay ~ i've found my least favourite one ~ not saying i dont like it ~ i just dont like it as much as all the others........ A kiss is a terrible thing to waste.... sorry ~ it just doesn't "do it" for me.

29 Sep 2005, 23:18
I'll be the first to admit I like the songs from MATLAF, there are some that I can't always hear... cause personally I don't mind if alot of Meat's 80's songs aren't as BIG as the big ones are! B-)

I don't care alot for Priscilla time to time. Man And A Woman (shivers) I don't like that... and well bottom line I have to be in a mood to hear certain Meat (80s) songs. The live covers I've heard do justice... I wish there were more.
There's always time for both BAT OUT OF HELL & CHSIB I think! :D

allrevvedup
06 Oct 2005, 23:32
Don't leave your mark on me, kinda bounces along but doesn't really go anywhere

Burning Down sounds like a 60's protest song 20 years too late

Everything is permitted...not a happy song

good points from the 80's albums though are Masculine, Dead Ringer, Bad Attitude, Sailor to a siren, modern girl,I'm gonna love her for both of us.

Pudding
02 Nov 2005, 04:34
Life Is A Lemon, I can't stand this song. I'd rather listen to the whole of Blind Before I Stop backwards before I listen to this song again through choice.

Pud :twisted:

The Flying Mouse
02 Nov 2005, 06:03
:twisted:
Two songs I don't like are......
Burning down.
Man & A Woman (Christ that song bores me :zzz: ).
I'm not too keen on Night Of The Soft Parade or Special Girl either.Really have to be in the mood for those two songs :?
And yes, I do realise that all four songs are on the BBIS album :lol:
I'm not BBIS'ist, there are some great tracks on it.Fav is Standing On The Outside.Love it :heart: .
As Space Monkey mentioned before about Masculine, it was much better live than on the album (although I don't mind the album version of that song).I think that's very true when it comes to that album in particular.
As Meat didn't have anything to do with the post production, Frank Farian just threw it together his way :? .When you hear the live versions you hear them played the way Meat would have had them on the album 8) .

Tim
02 Nov 2005, 13:22
well, mostly it depens on my mood haha, but a song i can't stand very good is: All revved up!

Damn what a crapy song that is.

AndyK
02 Nov 2005, 15:29
For me it has to be Why Isn't That Enough IMO it's weak and badly constructed and it's also far too much of a rip off of 2 out of 3.

Hmm "why isn't that enough" just kinda grates on me....

Jackoutofhell
29 May 2006, 02:55
You're Right, I Was Wrong is only decent. I still like it, but the vocals are the only thing that pull me through. 45 Seconds from WTTN is crap, enough said.

Razor's Edge and most of the songs from Midnight. In fact, everything besides the title track on that album is worthless, in my opinion.

If I had to choose one it would have to be Burning Down. I'm suprised about some of the choices people have made, especially Martha. I think that's a nice song.

For me the worst song is Priscilla.:down:

Heaven can Wait is a song that sticks out at me-I think it was in the wrong place in the album-it's more similar to . Oh and Midnight and the Lost and Found (the song..think the album is OK in general :??: , I like Priscilla and Keep Driving)...

Didn't like Objects for a while but now I fully appreciate it for what it is:oops:

Only heard a few live from BBIS, kind of liked them LOL.

Space Monkey
23 Jul 2006, 18:34
I can see where people are coming from re Razor's Edge, although I personally like it. For those who really don't like it, try and get hold a live version of the song (Milian 1983) or the exended 12" version. The live version is particularly good.

The one I like least of all is Why Isn't That Enough ... personally it comes across as a poor poor rip off of Two Out Of Three to me, dont' always skip it though as Meat is in fine voicen in that song ... likewise Martha and Meat's version of Left In The Dark, whilst I don't hate them, they'd come at the bottom of the list if I had to rate every single song Meat's recorded in order.

It's all relative anyway ... even though I think Why Isn't That Enough is Meat's "worst" song, it still to me rates above 99% of the other stuff that's out there by other artists, all it means is that I like his other songs more than I like that one

:shock: well i think he's changed his mind about Took the words now. Watch his performance of it at the night of proms in 2001.

I am not suggesting what songs Meat likes or dislikes, you asked what interview it was and I merely passed on the information. Meat always passionately sings every song he performs, even songs he may not like.
I don’t know were you can find this interview now but it was right after midnight was released and yes maybe he has changed his mind now

RadioMaster
14 Mar 2007, 18:03
didnt he say once, that they put YTTWROOMM just on BOOH to make it sell better, to make it more mainstream-like? Cant remember where I read/heard that...

LucyK!
14 Mar 2007, 18:33
Dunno if he said that but would certainly make sense to do that....BOOH was very much stage music, and as Todd said on Classic Albums, you pull YTTWROOMM apart and you've got an Eagles song, which certainly would have sold better than theatre music...

Have to say, Meat not liking a song certainly wouldn't affect his performance - people who have paid to see a show (any show, not just Meat) can't be expected to be a song/scene/whatever that's dull with no passion just because the artist doesn't like it, and Meat's a great example of someone who wouldn't do that

LucyK!
14 Mar 2007, 18:35
And to get back on topic...

I reckon my "worst" song would probably be something like Never Can Be Too Sure About The Girl, definitely something form that era

RadioMaster
14 Mar 2007, 18:37
but theres surely a difference in the performance between songs he likes and dislikes. For example, I think the performance of Objects one of the most passionate, and not at least because he likes the song.

LucyK!
14 Mar 2007, 18:39
Objects is a difficult one to judge by though as we know the emotion and the history that comes with that particular track...I'd imagine that psychologically there'll be a difference but I don't think there's a difference on stage that's clear to see..

AndyK
14 Mar 2007, 19:59
Meat 's said time and time again that his aim to to perform every concert at this peak, and he's not happy if he feels he's let people down. Some songs he may find harder to perform at that level than others, that's probably true but; Meat being the professional "heart on his sleeve" performer that he is, I really can't see him adding a song to a set list that he felt he couldn't give 100% to.

RadioMaster
14 Mar 2007, 20:30
But dont you think that he performs a song he really enjoys in a different way than a song he doesnt really care about?

AndyK
14 Mar 2007, 20:40
Perhaps, but that's my point, I don't think Meat would perform a song he doesn't really care about.

Wario
14 Mar 2007, 20:46
Agreed, but its been 20 years since that interview. he may have grown to love took the words after YEARS of preforming it. ;)

RadioMaster
14 Mar 2007, 21:15
Perhaps, but that's my point, I don't think Meat would perform a song he doesn't really care about.

not necessarily. Some songs are just DEMANDED by the fans, like AFL or BOOH. I'm not saying that he dislikes them, but if he'd do, he'd still "have to" perform them, though he doesnt like them.

That prize has to go to Fiesta de las whatsitcalled? or maybe Cry to Heaven...

I belive Meat always has to have a "Rocker" like he said in an interview about Lemon with Bat 2. He's done that since Bat 2 with every album (WTTN's was Redlight and Bat 3's was Brake It). Do It is CHSIB's.

I agree, when Ms Hudson starts singing it rather sounds like she's sitting on the toilet than singing a sad ballad ...

That said I'm not a fan of the overall song either, I much prefer the Pan Box version, already because of the amazing, epic intro.
Meat's version to me sounds, like most of the Bat3/Steinman stuff, like a cheap, mainstream rip-off of the original version. :(

What puts the icing on the cake is they omit stuff from the originals (Like in IACBTMN a couple verses are cut) and I never heard PB's version of Future but I bet its longer.....

I think part of the problem is that The Future and IACBTMN are better as solo songs and not duets. WAL was written to be a duet and it works well. Plus Patti and Meat not only have chemistry on stage but their vocals have a good chemistry. Their voices blend together into one powerful voice. Marion's and Jennifer's voices didn't blend well with Meat's, imo.

I might be out of my mind...which possibly is the case...but I somehow remember that Future was sung by Dream Engine as a group too...if somebody can correct me on this - please do...I am growing senile...I actually don't know if I've heard it as solo...

I think The Future actually is a group song but I don't like the duet it was made into...if you know what I mean...there are duets and then there are duets...

Both were very good. I like the song WAL but I think it would have been an even better song performed live. Like I thought CHSIB was even greater performed live.

=O Never thought about my least favorite ML songs, there's just so many mind-blowingly amazing ones that mean so much to me that I've never really considered to be any I don't like. If I have to -

Nowhere Fast
Surfs Up
Left in the Dark
The Future Just Ain't What It Used To Be
Burning Down
Man and a Woman
Special Girl
All of MATLAF with the exception of Razor's Edge and If You Really Want To
Martha
Fiesta de la whatever it is from WTTN
45 seconds of Ecstasy
Tear Me Down

I feel I need to explain myself, considering how big my list is =( The four Steinman songs at the top are there (particularly Nowhere Fast) because IMO, they were butchered. Completely and utterly murdered to fit into an album with far inferior songs. Nowhere Fast, one of my favorite Steinsongs, is simply horrible (Meat's version). It just feels like it got thrown into a machine, mangled beyond recognition, then spat back out to have Meat's heavenly voice plastered on top =( Surfs Up is in a similar boat, Left in the Dark was pretty good but was still a disappointment to me, and I just plain didn't like Meat's version of the Future. MATLAF goes without saying and the few from BBIS and WTTN I just didn't click with.

I don't mean to offend anyone with these views, it's just my opinion...this thread really is pretty negative when you get down to it =(

For me I'd say 'Do It' was quite weak in my opinion - it just didnt feel like a meat song to me lol

'Cry to Heaven' was another which I never really liked. I thought the song was ok at best but tbh i dont think i would have missed it from Bat3.

I do disagree with some other opinions here though :-). I mean I really like Priscilla & I do quite like Standing on the Outside as well :-). Nowhere Fast is a song I like, but not the album version - i really enjoy the live versions!

The only songs that I really don't like from WTTN are 45 Seconds and Fiesta.

I'd Do Anything For Love


I love AFL, but when it's performed live, I never enjoy the slow part at the beginning of the song. I think Patti should come onstage and sing the slow lines at the beginning of the song. Then she disappears and the fast music starts. Meat sings the song and Patti reappears to sing her lines at the end.

kind of hard to say, but these are songs on each record that i will skip over if i'm listening to the album or a compilation:

Bat Out of Hell: Enjoy all the songs.....

Dead Ringer: Enjoy all the songs.....haven't listened to this record in a while, and after taking a quick glance at the track list, i may just have to blow off the dust......

Midnight At The Lost & Found: Priscilla.....another record i'm going to have to blow the dust off of:-P

Bad Attitude: Basically one of those records where it's easy to name a few favorites, but i can listen to it in its entire.....a couple songs are close to automatic skip status, but they survive

Blind Before I Stop: this is the only record where i can say there was some really crappy stuff: Special Girl, Man & a Woman, Standing on the Outside, and Burning Down

Bat 2: enjoy all the songs.....Good Girls Go to Heaven almost gets the cut, but survives.....barely

Welcome to the Neighborhood: Enjoy all the songs.....a couple barely survive on my playlist, but i keep them around:D

Couldn't Have Said It Better: Man of Steel, Because of You, Do It, Forever Young, You're Right I Was Wrong

Bat 3: If God Could Talk

Hang Cool Teddy Bear: Love is not Real, Did You Ever Love Somebody, Let's Be in Love


so, my list of Meat Loaf songs that suck:

1) Priscilla

2) Special Girl

3) Man and a Woman

4) Burning Down

5) Standing on the Outside

6) Man of Steel

7) Because of You

8) Do It

9) Forever Young

10) You're Right I was Wrong

11) If God Could Talk

12) Did You Ever Love Somebody

13) Let's Be In Love

14) Love is not Real


those are in no specific order, they all suck (although i am still trying to like Love is not Real, but it's hard.....i like the concept, but the lyrics just seem to be childish)

I absolutely love that song:)

I really cannot stand Martha, it really is absolutely dire imo .

I'm on the same page as you 24K - never liked 'Martha,' but love 'Don't You Look At Me Like That.'

You don't like AFL. You're crazy.

I guess I must be as crazy as WarioLoaf, because I've never been very keen on 'Anything For Love' either! I like the instrumental intro, but that's about it. Of all the songs that Meat does at his shows, this is one that I wish he would drop. I wouldn't lose any sleep if 'Paradise' was dropped now either!

the 80s songs are ok. i really like fiesta and 45 seconds. if this is the last kiss sounds to me like a (very bad) kelly family song :-)

Almost all JS songs on Bat 3 are forgettable versions imo, Do it, You're Right I was wrong, Because of You, Why isn't that Enough, Cry Over Me, If God Could Talk. Almost everything form HCTB especially where Love is not real ends up...mental why write/record that nonsense?, disappointing chorus in Peace on Earth, California..Yuk, Did you Ever love somebody...boring.
Pretty much prefer ALL the low key attempts of his 80s stuff in place of that horrible :shit: I think this is the problem working with too many song writers. Grabbing ideas from everywhere doesn't work. I would like to have had a fully written Jacbos / Durkee album and a Nikki Sixx/James Michael one. They could have convinced them with spending bucks on that instead of getting random guests to appear on an album for absolutely no benefit to the music whatsoever (Bat 3 /HCTB).

I like it. Prefer it to anything on HCTB easily.

probably something off BBIS... Man and a Woman or one of those

03 Jul 2010, 23:20
different strokes for different folks i guess......i love HCTB.....there's really no Meat Loaf album that just plain sucks....BBIS comes close, but there's enough good stuff on there to make it worthwhile

looking for my 80s cds.....don't know what happened to them.....

ok.....go ahead and strike "Standing on the Outside" from my list of songs that suck.....first time i've listened to it in 2 or 3 years.....pretty decent tune

I like some stuff off BBIS when I'm in the mood. The title track is pretty good. I have to say (dont let Wario hear this) I even enjoy masculine at times. Definitely a lot of tracks on there that do nothing for me though.

Re read previous, there are a few of us that love this song.

I don't like Love Is Not Real, Lets Be In Love or as i call it, Lesbians Love, Running Away is another one from HCTB. I have never been struck on Heaven Can Wait really, but don't skip it just !

I have been trying to get into it, but i just get bored, dunno why,?i do keeping trying with all songs that i have not liked with any artist not just Meat. Cos i think sometimes it does depend on your frame of mind, mood etc,

i'm the same way with love is not real....something tells me i should like it, but i just can't get into it....always wind up skipping it a minute or two in

Lots of people don't like the 3/4 waltzes stuff. I think they make quite a refreshing sound on the albums including Martha and Let's be in Love.

Dead Ringer is one of my favorites (especially version with Patti) ... Anyway what I was going to write? ... Oh yes - the worst song ever done by Meat is ... "One More Kiss (Night Of The Soft Parade)":evil:.

There are songs sung by Meat that I like less, but don't hate any. I guess I like the least is "burning down". That is a song that I listen to less often, but at some point I always go back and have a listen to the older albums.
I think my favorite older album is "Blind before I stop" b/c the music is great and that is a very good album picture.
BTW,"Martha" and " A man and a woman" are two of my favorites,esp the later.

Oh well, what can i say.......
It pains me to say but for me it's....and more than one!!!
It's gotta be Blind before album. I just don't feel the vibe with that album. I have listened to it enough times to try and convert myself but i find myself popping bad attitude back in the cd player.
God i love piece of the action!!!!!!!!!
But i am old!!!
Take care all.:D

I'm waiting for that moment to happen with me, again, for this song. I have a feeling it's going to slap me upside the head when I'm not paying attention :mrgreen:.

That is what happened to me yesterday when I listened to "cry over me". It just gave me chills. It is really an amazing song. A " man and a woman", is so sweet and sentimental. I cry when I hear " where angles sing".

Me too. I think it depends on the mood you're in. I played LBIL last night and I rather enjoyed it. I wish they had done something different with the ending, but 3/4 of the song is really good and there's so much emotion in the vocals. I bet if the song was performed live, it would really be emotional and powerful.

My views of changed recently, thanks to WarioLoaf - his live recordings of Left in the Dark and Nowhere Fast on YouTube, more precisely. Meat's version of Left in the Dark (studio) does nothing for me, but live it is just AMAZING. Nowhere Fast, still not the greatest, but live is far better than the recording off of Bad Attitude.

Going to add Paradise and Anything For Love to my list of unloved, actually. They annoy me. Not so much live, but the studio recordings really irritate me. The MSO recordings are actually the only versions of these two that I actually like.

Breeze
08 Aug 2010, 19:33
The best versions I have ever heard of " Nowhere Fast" is off of a CD that also has " Tonight is what if means to be young" ( Jim steinman)is off a Cd that is a compilation of songs. I have it somewhere,can't recall the name of it. Streets of Fire. That is it.

I think the Bat Trilogy was great, and loved every song on the albums.
WWTN was great also, fitted fairly well, good songs,
His 80's albums fit in here nicely, few songs not sure of but genuinely good
CHSIB was average saved only by Patti and CHSIB single, rest could be wiped!

Now dont shoot me but....

HCT in its entirety can be discarded. The songs are poor, lyrics bland and the music is not that great!

I love Meat, ive listened to his music since i was 7 years old and went to my first gig at the SECC. I love listening the the Bat Trilogy etc as I get lost in another world, caught up in the lyrics and music, and can sit for hours totally zoned on the music and passion of the songs.
But unfortunately for me, and its just my opinion but HCT is totally wrong for Meat and it pains me to say it.
