without a shadow of a doubt, in my opinion, bat 2

Jackoutofhell · 08 Nov 2006, 00:47

Definitely Bat 1

MeatGrl1 · 08 Nov 2006, 00:52

Each Bat is different and the styles are different as is all of Meat's albums actually, hense I do not have favourites. I love all three Bat's for different reasons but I am not prepared to list them all now

!

mszee · 08 Nov 2006, 00:55

The only Bat so far I can live without is Bat II...hard to decide which one...but if I have to choose one, it has to be Bat I...

tinkerbell · 08 Nov 2006, 01:03

Bat 1, means so much to me

faolteam · 08 Nov 2006, 01:05

BAT I, no com

duke knooby · 08 Nov 2006, 01:17

i got bored with bat 1 after maybe 6 years, still not bored with bat 2 after 13 years and bored with bat 3 already, but thats just me, strikes me as more like chsib style album. no offence meant!

mindnick1 · 08 Nov 2006, 01:55

BAT ONE

The first, and it could never be repeated,
2 and 3 are great but the lack of activity from steinman on these albums makes Bat one the masterpiece...

You are so right, many of the non steinman songs on bat 3 could have easily been on CHSIB

i suppose what i meant could have been said different, but on BAT 2 we were only really given 4 or 5 new steinman songs as the others had already appeared on previous recordings like bad for good or pandoras box. i am glad meat recorded them and they are great but when it came out at least for me they did not seem new at all. The same can be said for BAT 3....

JanT · 08 Nov 2006, 02:39

Bat 1 easily.

Sapphire Lady · 08 Nov 2006, 10:10

I would have to choose Bat II as that's what got me into Meat Loaf

daveake · 08 Nov 2006, 10:40

Original is best.

**The Flying Mouse** · 08 Nov 2006, 11:04

Got to be Bat I

Saying that, it's all one album anyway, so what the hell

Ditto. It's the album that made me realise I could LOVE music not just like it. It has sentimental value for me. I think if I could only have one album to listen to for the rest of my life it would have to be this one.

**RadioMaster** · 08 Nov 2006, 14:17

Bat2, followed closely by Bat3.

Not really because of a emotional value, it´s just the best music, most dramatic, most emotional and all just fits together.

LucyK! · 08 Nov 2006, 14:21

From a music point of view I couldn't choose, as each is different in it's own right.

From a personal point of view it would be, without doubt, Bat II

Yeah, I meant to say that as well.

*AndyK* · 08 Nov 2006, 14:58

How can you differentiate on a personal level when each album has been around during a different defining period of your life?

Musically Bat is the best IMO, For pure fun factor Bat II and probably emotionally Bat III, but next week that could well be different.

Debbi V · 08 Nov 2006, 15:14

I totally agree, Andy!!

I'd have to say that I like them all for different reasons. Just like Meat's style and voice, my taste in music has evolved over the years so each means alot to me in their own unique way.

At 17: Bat I was just so different from everything else out there at the time and hit a deep emotional cord with me

In my 20's, Bat II continued the "big" sound I had come to love when everything else was so techno and manic.

And now, Bat III is just so much fun!! Meat's voice, in my humble opinion, has come full circle. It's deeper, fuller, richer . . . . just like me . . . well, I haven't quite perfected the richer part yet

. As an adult, I can appreciate the stories behind the songs. And I must say, "Pigs" just screams of political satire. I love it! Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I loved "Animal Farm" in highschool.

OK . . . I rambled enough. Bottom line, I couldn't possibly pick just one as a favorite. Just like all of you (admit it now

), I don't absolutely love every song on any one album. If I HAD to pick a favorite, I'd say it's BAT III . . . why . . . because I can enjoy it with my son, Niko. I got him into Meat back when he was 10 when he attended his first real concert with me in Mississippi - thanks for the backsatge chat Meat!! He's really into music now (plays guitar) and we've had some great times in the car listening to BAT III at MEGA volume! He just loves "If It Ain't Broke". Anything that keeps my teenager thinking I'm even "semi-cool" is OK in my book.

.

Because, if Bat II had never been released then I would never have known about Bat I. Bat II was the first album I fell in love with. I was only 13 and didn't have a scooby doo who Meat Loaf was. I wasn't around when Bat I was released. That's why it's slightly more special to me on a personal level.

**allrevvedup** · 08 Nov 2006, 16:16

Bat I overall...maybe cause it was the first and it's always hard to get the spark and magic of the first time (in lots of cases) into others. There's a sense of learning as you go.

I'm sure a thread will pop up asking to pick the the ten best songs overall from the three albums.
