The album or the song? Because Paradise by the Dashboard Lights is lit as fuck.

Another good Steinman song - with multiple versions to choose from - is It's All Coming Back To Me Now. Meatloaf did a version of it, but I don't think it's the definitive version.

If you want to know just how much Meat Loaf needed Steinman to be good, just listen to BooH3.
If anything, I'm surprised Meat Loaf outlived Jim Steinman.

The lack of detail in the OP is because I've been sick lately, sorry. I really liked Jim Steinman's work, and it was a big shock hearing that he had died. The music he produced was truly massive in its size and scope, and it brought a level of theatricality and drama to the music which most artists haven't been able to come close to matching.

Genuinely a bit upset by this, the dude wrote some really amazing songs. Rock music written with a musical theater mentality.

My favourite quote about him is from a review I read for Bat Out Of Hell 3 when it launched, stating that the album was "overblown, melodramatic and frequently ridiculous - but not without its downsides too."

Steinman fully embraced going as OTT as possible, and I fucking loved it.

Bat Out Of Hell is one of my top 10 favorite albums of all time. The Bat trilogy is great, along with one of my alltime favoritte 80s tunes, Total Eclipse of The Heart.

The dude knew how to put together a loud, bombastic, over the top rock song, and music doesn't get much better than that.

RIP to the legend.

He didn't have a direct hand in it, or write material specifically for the album, but half the tracks on the album were written by him - either initially for other acts (like It's All Coming Back To Me Now) or unreleased songs written for other projects like the Batman musical (In The Land Of The Pig The Butcher Is King). It's still a Steinman-flavoured album, even if he didn't directly make it: I believe this even lead to one of his many legal disputes with Meat Loaf.

Interestingly, Hang Cool Teddy Bear - which has absolutely no Steinman material - seems to unofficially be, or at some point was perhaps intended to be, a fourth Bat album - the "biker" character is on the front cover in skeletal form, and there's a huge IV on the back of the album.

I'm pretty sure the recycled Steinman songs on Bat3 were because of the legal dispute.

Ah, quite possibly. It's hard to keep track of all their falings-out, haha.

I also seem to recall that it was more "lawyers" than "venom" between the two.

Hang Cool Teddy Bear is much better than BooH3, also

I do like Bat 3, but I think I might agree with you there.
