I really love this song, it's true Meat Loaf's vocals on the first part are pretty bad (and I have my doubts about the guitar sound overall). However the second part is pure magic.
"But damn you and curse you after all that you've done you're the one girl I'll never forget!" Excellent writing.
"Peel Out" is a personal favorite, as well.
1960s Cyberman for the win!
