85. Steinman didn't write all of Meatloaf's music

Steinman wrote the all the first two Bat out of Hell albums and some of the songs on the third. But there are other albums that had nothing to do with Steinman, granted most of them weren't great either musically or financially.

Steinman's work for other singers hasn't done all that well most of the time with a few notable exceptions. But together I think they work well. Steinman's work is so over the top and theatrical that it needs a singer who tries to bring the same approach to the song if that makes sense.

I know a lot of people mocked his song at the Romney rally, but he's always poured it out like that in concert. I remember seeing Meatloaf and Cyndi Lauper in concert. They had very contrasting styles, but the audience loved both.

Steinman is a weird guy though. Who plays the piano wearing leather gloves?
