Very Best Of Meat Loaf

While Meat Loaf?s previous anthology, 1984?s HITS OUT OF HELL, contained most of the radio hits you?d expect from the first part of his career, it obviously didn?t contain any selections from his mid-'90s "second coming" (with BAT OUT HELL II and the monster hit ?I Would Do Anything For Love?). 1998?s double disc THE VERY BEST OF corrects this, containing a more extensive track listing than its predecessor and clocking in at nearly two hours with a more expansive 18 tracks. If you?re an aficionado of '70s arena rock (Queen, Elton John, Styx, etc.), then Meat Loaf?s THE VERY BEST OF will likely become a permanent denizen of your CD player. Standouts include such early classics as ?Two Out of Three Ain?t Bad? and ?Paradise by the Dashboard Light,? as well as oft-overlooked mid-career standouts ?Dead Ringer For Love? and ?Midnight at the Lost and Found,? and of course the '90s "comeback" tracks ?I Would Do Anything For Love? and ?Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through".|
