| No I don't think it's a coincidence that Meat's biggest selling albums had songs by Jim Steinman on them. That still doesn;t get away from the fact that more people associate Bat Out Of Hell with Meat Loaf rather than Jim Steinman. Total Eclipse and Making Love had nothing and will probably will have nothing to do with Bat Out Of Hell. You mention Total Eclipse and people say Bonnie Tyler, you say Making Love and people will say Air Supply, Jim's name will hardly ever get mentioned. So, perhaps a travelling show like TDE singing the songs of Jim Steinman, would help promote and bring exposure to Jim Steinman and Jim Steinman's Bat Out Of Hell: The Musical. > Don't you thinks its a coincidence that Meat's most > successful albums had "Songs by Jim Steinman" on the front > cover?
