Okay so this has been done before I know but what I am asking from all you wonderful people is what your favourite Meat Loaf song whether it be a live version, recorded, single, remixed, or whatever.

There are no wrong answers here, just in the opinions of others. I also wish to discuss how it makes us feel when we listen to it and when was the first time we ever heard it. Then finally why do you think that song makes you feel the way you do. This is a Meat Loaf forum so I think its time we get to the heart and soul as to why we love his music.

Also please if you must post at maximum of two songs for those who cannot decide on just one.


Well with the that done with I will get down to my absolute favourite Meat Loaf song is "Objects From The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are" the recorded version from Bat 2.

The first time I heard this song was when I was 19, and I was mostly listening to Bad Attitude, Bat Out Of Hell, and Dead Ringer. I barely listened to Bat 2 and the first time I listened through the album I liked it and I kind of tossed of Objects In The Rear View Mirror cause it was too long and didn't have any loud rocking solo's or the lyric "you can shove it up your ass".


However one time in the car I had a chance to really listen to it since I just popped it in and as if for the first time I listened to the part about the father abuse. Then I remembered the way my father abused me in ways I care not to mention. In any case when I heard that I was tearing up and getting kind of upset as if it reminded me of the pain of those memories.

Finally I understood metaphor of the song, I haven't seen my father for many many years yet those memories were as fresh as they were yesterday. The song made me feel a little more secure in myself cause it let me know that such events seem as fresh as if they just happened but life is too short to focus on the bad things cause there is always so much to look forward to.

I listened to that song over and over again during that ride and it has become my all time favourite. Cause it was the only Meat song or any song that had opened up my soul and makes me feel like everything is going to be alright. It is beyond any form of expression what that song has done for me and even today I still regard it above all other songs my aboslute favourite song, ballad, Meat song.
