In 1977 rock and roll was hit with a monster album by Meat Loaf (and Jim Steinman): Bat Out Of Hell. People wanted a followup album, but Meat Loaf was having issues (with his voice, his house, etc). Not important. But Steinman had an album pretty much written and was pressured to make the album. It took until 1981 to get released and he called it Bad For Good. It didn't do that badly, because people wanted it, but Steinman (and Rory Dodds and much of the same crew from Bat) wasn't Meat Loaf. Over the years after that album was released Meat recorded and released many of the songs on other albums. I always wondered what would the album sound like if they had released it together. This pick is as close as you will get. All the versions Meat did. Only two songs that he didn't quite do. One was The Storm (an instrumental) they did record an excerpt on Bat III. I put it here, but the Steinman album version is better, so it's here too. And the one song that never was redone: Dance In My Pants which kinda got panned and will remind you of another track in the first Bat. I put the Steinman version here. The Meat Loaf album was going to be called Renegade Angel, so that's what you get.
