Meatloaf - Bat Out Of Hell

Of the millions of albums which have been recorded, only 15 can make it into The Lucy Museum of Musicians who deserve entry to Lucy's Museum of Musician's and at number 6 we have Bat Out Of Hell by Meatloaf (1977)

Bit of a cheat that Meatloaf finds himself in such a lofty position in my best Album chart because his Bat Out Of Hell Album only has 7 songs on it and although it may run for a tad over 46 minutes, the title song is close to 10 minutes long and the 3 songs i skip equals only 16 minutes of missed opera-esque warbling from the man who spent his last few months denying Covid-19 existed before dying from...guess what...Covid 19.
Despite his less than satisfactory medical expertise and blatant refusal to end a song at a decent run-time, i always quite liked Meatloaf who had a great rock voice and some amazing songs as well as seeming a very jovial, pleasant man who never took himself too seriously.
The stand out song for me on here is Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad, a lovely ballad which is the complete opposite to the Bat Out Of Hell song which is a tumbling and rollicking good song about a teenage boy ending up torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike after seeing a sudden curve way too late
which sounds better without the explanation that the songs writer, Musical Steinman, who imagined Peter Pan singing it to Wendy so i guess Disney decided against that particular ending.   
You Took The Word's Right Out Of My Mouth starts with a dialogue about a girl offering her throat to the wolf to rip out and then goes into a song about a girl leaving a guy speechless after kissing him which if you read the previous sentence about Peter Pan seems par for the course.
The last song on the album is Paradise By The Dashboard Light and in my mind i see the record creators saying hey Meat, great songs so far but we have 10 minutes left at the end so have you got 2 or 3 more songs and Meatloaf going, nope but i do have 1 which is 4 songs stitched together which is why we have the brilliantly barmy boogie woogie type song which for 8 mins is about a boy getting his rocks off with a girl after swearing to stay with her forever and ending the song 9 minutes later praying for the end of time.
