What's the purpose of this thread, other then to open the Meat Loaf bashing flood gates. I think I'll start an anti-Steinman thread on MLUKFC (since most of the stuff on here comes from there anyway). But I wouldn't. Why? Because I respect Jim Steinman as a songwriter and think he's a genius. Also, Meat Loaf would probably rip me a new one for saying anything bad about Mr. Steinman. Would Mr. Steinman be proud of your constant bashing? I don't know the answer, but I sincerely hope not. I'd like to think he's better than that. If you don't like HCTB, that's cool. But don't use that as an excuse to bash the man at every turn. It's really pitiful. And you'd be right back on the bandwagon if he made an album with Steinman.
