1. I was graduated in 1979. Bat Out of Hell was probably #1 for high school tunes with the

people I was around. Not my favorite of music from those days now, but I bet I heard more Bat Out of Hell tapes in more cars than anything else. If not that, it was Boston.

4. i graduated in 1981 from a prvate christian school

So sheltered and forbidden to listen to secular music and I STILL knew Meatloaf and Boston lol. You couldn't escape that stuff.

I still like Boston though.

2. He was pretty amazing.

Different.

3. Bat Out of Hell was an amazing album.

Too bad they couldn't follow it up with anything close in quality.

Too bad Meat Loaf is a known right winger.

5. At least he dies in RHPS

The only reason I can still watch it. Hot patootie, bless my soul!
