The single for You took the words right out of my mouth reached 39 on US charts, Two out of three made 10 on US charts, and Paradise made it 31. I am not saying this is pretty successful and these songs do provide Meat in a live/tour situation less vocal stress due to the choir accompany and being duets. Bat Out Of Hell has him singing for around seven minutes on high notes. These other don't really require that much and yes for Crying Out Loud was a big break but I am saying all around that song did cause so much turmoil.
I mean the majority of all of us would say that Bat Out Of Hell is his signature song. Thus it set a demand for songs to meet that caliber and style and also made Meat want to have his songs match the length. Maybe if he did this song later we might have had a completely different experience with Meat and his work.
It may have gone different from what I think might happen and it may not but what I am saying is, if he just did that one song later then he would probably have better all around success.
