Unless Meat Loaf said something nasty about Obama, I can't stop liking him.

55. Given that Bat out of Hell is in the top 10 most sold albums, yes he was

And Bat out of Hell 2 went to number 1 in 28 countries. He still sells well in Europe, especially England.

Getting to the top once is hard, doing in two different eras is even harder. Yes it helped that Jim Steinman wrote those two albums, it's not like Jim Steinman's had a string of hits without Meatloaf.

I find it funny that so many people rush to hate anybody who supports Republicans and be seen as the most pure and fervent in their disdain. I can't get that worked up over who somebody else votes for. I have no problem watching Braveheart even though Mel Gibson is pretty clearly anti-Semitic. Likewise I don't buy the Black-Eyed Peas music even though they support Obama but that's because I happen to not like their music.

But let's say that Meatloaf had never had a really popular hit song at all. Are we really so shallow that we are reduced to looking at current music sales to provide validation that we're supporting the right candidate?
