...I would have liked to have seen Meat Loaf and Patti release "I don't want to miss a thing" instead of Aerosmith, had Meat Loaf decided to record an album not long after "Welcome to the Neighbourhood". It's too late now though. It didn't work with "It's all coming back to me now" and I do not believe it would work for this.
