Bat Out Of Hell
Meat Loaf's 43 million selling, major-label debut was written by pianist Jim Steinman and produced by Todd Rundgren. "Bat Out Of Hell" is considered by many to be one of rock's most theatrical, grandiose records, its musical style influenced by Steinman's appreciation of Richard Wagner, Phil Spector, Bruce Springsteen and The Who. Its songs have remained classic rock radio staples.
