Ha ha, I didn't notice that. At least it wasn't in the really big writing!!!!!!!

Carole

How can you not consider Stoney & Meat Loaf to be a real album?? and where is Hang Cool Teddy Bear?

Read carefully.

oh sorry!! but what about Stoney & Meat Loaf

I said I don't consider it a real Meat Loaf album - because of the circumstances in which it was made.

I don't care for the circumstances it was recorded in, I don't even know what you are talking about. In the first 10 years I bought Meat Loaf CDs I could only do so in proper record shops, I didn't use Amazon or anything like that till 2002. Since I never, ever saw it in a CD shop I simply don't consider it an album that was widespread released, he probably didn't give a shit about himself so I think buying it can only be considered an act for completists rather than that it something that is missing form my Meat Loaf albums catalogue. :shrug: If that's a meat loaf album then where is the Ted nugent thing?

Huh? Did you have something bad for breakfast or what triggered that reaction? Elijah's way asked why I don't consider it "a real album" (which I hadn't said) and I clarified.

1. Bat out of Hell II: Back into Hell
2. Bat out of Hell
3. Hang Cool Teddy Bear
4. Welcome to the Neighbourhood
5. Bat out of Hell III: The Monster is loose
6. Couldn't have said it better

10. Blind before I stop
11. Stoney and Meatloaf

My post wasn't really a reaction to you, I'm merely agreeing with you that it isn't really a Meat Loaf album. I just think the recording arrangements or conditions are irrelevant. In addition if it's a Meat Loaf album then why is it missing from his back catalogue list in the very best of CD booklet? In my opinion Meat's real solo career started with Bat, everything before can't even be considered prologue imo.

1. Bat out of Hell II: Back into Hell
2. Hang Cool, Teddy Bear

4. Bat out of Hell III: The Monster is Loose
5. Bat out of Hell / Bad Attitude/ Dead Ringer
6. Blind Before I Stop
7. Midnight at the Lost And Found

I like some of them close enough that they deserve the same rank ^_^

Okay, sorry, the first sentences appeared to have a slightly angry tone about them and I was a bit confused by that.

Excuuuuuse me for providing a reason why I don't think that it is a Meat Loaf album. ;)

It's mine:

1. Bat Out Of Hell - because it has broken the gate
2. Bat Out Of Hell 2 - because it has closed the gate
3. The Very Best Of - these 3 songs are amazing by arrangement
4. Bad Attitude - his best free rock album
5. Welcome To The Neighbourhood - good epic songs with some poor
6. Dead Ringer - average, bad producing
7. Bat Out Of Hell 3 - if Meat's voice and the arrangement were poor
8. Hang Cool Teddy Bear - simple happy Bon Jovi stuff
9. Couldn't Have Said It Better - looking for the 21st century
10. Blind Before I Stop - 2 epic sonngs and other poor
11. Stoney & Meatloaf - low budget I'm gonna show you album
12. Midnight At The Lost And Found - 1 good song and lot of poor

I'm surprised to see you rated HCTB higher than CHSIB and higher than I did after the stick you have given Meat over the last 6 months. Not such a bad album after all then surely?

Shoving a Greatest Hits/3 new song album in that comparison list doesn't make any sense to me.

Look at my rates on CHSIB! :)
On HCTB I found a great song, Song of Madness, on CHSIB I didn't find any 'red songs'. HCTB is not a good album at all, but better than CHSIB...

No way, I'd even settle for paying £10 just for the title track of CHSIB instead of getting anything that was on HCTB. Shove PFL on HCTB and fair enough, then it's a tricky comparison. ;-)

chsib never hooked me, so i'd easily rate hang cool above it

So greatest Meat Loaf albums of all time ... ? How about :

1. Bat 1
2. Bat 2
3. Dead Ringer
4. Bat 3
5. Hang Cool

Can't say I really care about the rest as albums - some good to great songs, but not consistent enough to be ranked with the above.
