7. Tonight is what it means to be young
8. For crying out loud
9. Original sin

[AndrewG]

Really tough, too many good ones to cram in a top 10, but something along these lines for me:

1. Bat out of Hell - Meat
2. Anything For Love - Meat
3. Paradise By The Dashboard Light - Meat
4. For Crying Out Loud - Meat
5. Left in The Dark - The man himself
6. Objects in The Rear View Mirror - Meat
7. It's All Coming Back To me Now - the original Elaine Caswell version (not shouty Celine)
8. Vespers / Angels Arise / The Song of Gotham City & Graveyard Shift - So good - Emily Pulley & choir (Steve Margoshes & Jim on Piano)
9. Going all The Way is Just The Start - Meat
10. Total Eclipse of The Heart - Bonnie

Edit. changed my mind and swapped Frying Pan with GATW. Meat and Jim's last triumph should be there.

Only 10?! How are we meant to narrow it down that much?!

Anyway, here's mine:

1) I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) - my first exposure to Meat and Jim at the age of six, and I loved it at once.
2) Bat Out of Hell
3) Objects in the Rearview Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are
4) For Crying Out Loud
5) Rock 'N' Roll Dreams Come Through - Meat's because it's the one I grew up listening to.
6) Bad For Good - Meat's live 1988 versions
7) Tonight is What it Means to Be Young - Fire Inc
Faster Than the Speed of Night - Bonnie
9) I'm Gonna Love Her For Both of Us - Meat
10) It's All Coming Back to Me Now - Pandora's Box
