2657 Meat Loaf - I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)

From: Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell; Year: 1993; Genre: Hard Rock/Progressive Rock

Last night I heard this song and felt like an excellent song for this blasé Thursday. I always found that Jim Steinman is one of the few writers, especially when he has Meat Loaf preforming his work, to be able to not only get epic progressive songs in the pop culture, but have them get radio play; this is one of those songs. While the full 12 minute opus hardly ever gets played on the radio, the trimmed 8 minute version often does.
Anyway, I've always loved the music and Meat Loaf's powerful vocals throughout this song and of course his duet with "Mrs. Loud."

Hear the full 12 minute album version on YouTube.
