I love the argument that "I'm too young to have heard that music." It doesn't go away, you yutz.
Yeah, I know. I do have a lot of older 'before my time' music that the kids still listen to nowadays. Meatloaf just isn't the sort of thing that they play at parties so it doesn't really come to mind.
I will turn 29 this month, so you aren't that much younger than I am.
"I Would Do Anything For Love" came out when I was in high school, you'd have been in elementary school. It got a lot of attention, because a lot of people decided to make fun of it because they were too stupid to understand the "But I won't do that" lyric of the song. I was 14 years old, and I could figure it out.
Anyway, he's also been in Fight Club and, unfortunately for him, he played Jack Black's daddy in Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny. It was actually kind of funny because he played the kind of dad that didn't want his son playing that "devilish rock music."
He was probably the best part in the whole movie, sadly. I had such high hopes, Jack Black is awesome, Tenacious D rocked... but they failed so miserably.
But I digress. I agree with Samira about the whole, "It's before my time," stuff. I fell in love with Billy Holiday when I was in high school. I got one of her Greatest Hits tapes and I wore that sucker out so bad I had to buy it on CD when I was in college. To this day, I am amazed at how many songs she did that are still around in todays popular culture. My husband is probably tired of me turning to him and saying, "That song was way better when Billy Holiday did it."

It was, however, before my time though. I was born in '84.. and I believe the first Bat Out of Hell CD came out in '76 or '77.

"Strange Fruit" haunts me.
"Ain't Nobody's Business" is completely politically incorrect these days, but such a great song.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

I hate myself for loving "Ain't Nobody's Business." Really, I do. I should want to berate her for letting men use her that way, but she has a point. Ain't my business.
I can't fathom not knowing who Meatloaf is, even if just friom his acting roles in Fight Club and Rocky Horror. FUcking whippersnappers.
Paradise By the Dashboard Light is the greatest karaoke song ever, too, and I mean it's like way ahead of the nearest competition.

And I was born in 1978. What's your point, Sebastian?

What are you talking about? Meatloaf and Dio with Tenacious D? It was only the greatest cameos of all time. And space.

If you were 14, that would've made me 9. At 9 I can easily say that I wasn't paying attention to the music scene. I do remember owning one of those 'various artist' tapes (like the Now! series) with "I Would Do Anything For Love" on it.
I guess I'm going to have to track down one of his albums. I think my father owns a copy of Bat Out Of Hell so I'll borrow it from him. On that note, I'm going to have to check out Billy Holiday on iTunes.

I don't know about karaoke, but the long version is awesome.
And I didn't want to bring up Rocky Horror Picture Show, as I figued if they hadn't heard of Meatloaf, they probably hadn't heard of that movie, either.
Oddly enough, I used to have the sound track for that movie, and I loved the song about Eddie.

That's my point. The movie sucked, but the part with Meatloaf in it was awesome.

Well, Emily
... Who said I wasn't into 'em? HMMMM?!?! I just wasn't alive during the height of his popularity. Well, I was, but not old enough to fully grasp good music. I've always liked Meatloaf.. just not a die hard fan.
It's the best bar music ever though. There's nothing like being at a table full of drunks screaming, "BUT I WON'T DO THAT!"

It's also my favorite air keyboard song. Seriously.
Oh let me sleep on it~ Baby, baby let me sleep on it~ Let me sleep on it, Ill give you an answer in the mornin'
I'm 20, btw, and I do rather quite enjoy Meatloaf.

Somehow, that's not the Meatloaf song I would expect people to get into at a bar...
I'm going to have to bring that CD in to work when I go to lunch so I can listen to it here. I'm so crushing right now.

I want to say they had the entire CD on the jukebox back in the little rathole poolhall I use to frequent back home. As for the bars up here, it gets played all the time. All the older men use it as an excuse to grab their date and reminisce about old times while they attempt to sway back and forth.
I love wasted youth and the funny thing is that my mom took me to a Meatloaf concert when I was a youngin. The meat man is awesome.

A much better drinking song from that album would be "Everything Louder Than Everything Else" or "Good Girls Go To Heaven (Bad Girls Go Everywhere)."
Edit: I'm so glad to hear how many people in the OOT enjoy Meatloaf as much as I do.

Oops.. Sorry Kaain for a second there I got you confused with Iamadam. Either way, Iamadam, you cannot take the "after my time" case as I'm only a year older than you. I started listening to Meatloaf when I was small as my parents listened to it.
It's just plain odd to me that people have never heard of Meatloaf or RHPS. (Eddie song is the second best song in RHPS, IMO. And Time Warp is NOT the best.)

I love Bob, and his ***** Tits.
I grew up with his music and have been a fan since he was in Rocky Horror
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8bOKeppnBA
Man, he was young then.
Contrast that to his GREAT parody of himself in Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny.

Here's hoping to many more years of great music from Meatloaf!

I actually despise "It's all coming back to me now". It's one of the few songs that actually just makes me squirm and be uncomfortable.
And you know what's annoying? Like mentioned earlier, Bat out of Hell is a great jukebox tune. So it's obvious it's not in evidence anywhere around here.
