No. Most people I would say admire Todd's singing, his musical instrument playing skills and his producing, but his songwriting is something to be desired. Three out of four aint bad ;o)

No, but it is an indication. I would imagine most songwriters write a song and put it to single because they want people to like it and get some form of commercial success. Yes there's been some absolute shit that have become hits in the charts, (lets not forget Mr.Blobbly knocked IWDAFL off the top spot) but my opinion is outnumbered by the fact of sales figures.
As Smeg correctly pointed out, the only person who can write Bat Out Of Hell type songs is the person who actually wrote Bat Out Of Hell. Many have tried to immitate and many have failed, if Todd could write one or has written one then I'd like to hear it.
