Meat Loaf is not a songwriter and depends on the people he collaborates with, their styles differ and don't appeal to everybody to the same degree. Steinman is not very productive and appears to be reclusive, it doesn't come as a surprise that Bruce gets more attention and recognition.

i really like Bruce to be honest, a great talent!!! where Meat is concerned tho its all about hes look and image = he never fitted in to the whole rock star look. he never wrote much of hes own songs - BUT nor did Elvis!! and like Elvis he makes every song hes own. that can be sometimes harder to do imo.
