      I wouldn't say underrated. Underhyped maybe. He's like third or fourth in total albums sold. Bat Out of Hell remains the fourth most sold album of all time which is pretty darn impressive being that it was his first one. People love his music, they buy his music, they just don't talk about his music.

    In 1975, while in college (yeah, I'm old), I went to see a midnight showing of a campy movie (Rocky Horror Picture Show) and saw a young Meat Loaf singing. Two years later when Bat Out of Hell was released, I rushed out and got it. Followed him religiously since then. I will miss him, but will continue to listen to his music - especially those Jim Steinman wrote.

    At first you think this was just Jim making a little bit of a joke, and it's a guy who just can't commit. Then you find out he's just carrying on the hurt from the woman he loved, and the cycle continues. It's a lot deeper song when you think about it. Steinman and Meatloaf were brilliant.

    In a 2003 interview for VH1 Ultimate Albums series, Jim Steinman (1947-2021, RIP) said he was complaining to friend Mimi Kennedy that he couldn’t get a deal. She suggested his songs were too complicated. Just then, Elvis' I Want You, I Need You, I Love You came on the radio & she said, "Why don't you write something simple like that." Steinman went home & “tried so hard” to write a simple song & “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad” was the result. He said, “still a twist, but it was my closest to a simple song & one Elvis could have done."

But its the fact that he is so broken from the woman he loves leaving him that he feels he can never love anyone else.

    This is a fantastic performance by a fantastic performer. It seems like only yesterday that I picked up the Bat out of Hell album and was absolutely floored. It is actually 44 years. I loved your reaction, Maggie. Really nice editing as well. ❤

    Great lines also in "Objects In the Rear View Miror May Appear Closer Than They Are". Jim Steinman can certainly turn a phrase!!!

    This song is dear to me, as it reminds me of a story my younger brother told me when I was younger, he said that he was out and about in his car with two childhood friends who were brothers, so they were there people, and then they had a crash and one of them died, and every time I listen to this song I remember that story, and then to make things worse his friend did not die during the crash, but a few days later on Mother's Day. And then there were two, and that is why two out of three ain't bad.....

    Being a trained opera singer thought you would see right away Meat Loaf is an actor who is performing each and every song he does as a character he creates in his mind. So, again He performs his songs, not sings them. Meat Loaf is an expert at theater of the mind. Best appreciation of Bat Out of Hell, should be done with a great speaker system turned up to just one notch below ears bleeding, and with eyes closed so as to get the full experience of the performance. Then go back and listen to individual songs at your comfortable volume. I recommend For Crying Out Load, which Meat Loaf himself decribes as the greatest love song ever. I also recommend listening to Hang Cool Teddybear the same way as Bat Out if Hell, then listen to individual songs, particularly I Saw Elvis In Vegas. Great Performance.

    I was lucky enough to see Meatloaf in concert two times. November 1993 in Toronto, and February 1994 in Buffalo. Amazing live performances. This was a sad loss.

    Maggie, i have to tell you that i love when you break down the singing like you did for Meatloaf. I learn a lot from this. Also i love when you don't get something, then get it and make that smushy face and say "oh Noooo". it makes me laugh every time.

    Back in high school, this was the #1 "slow song" at our dances. We were young enough to want and need, but too young to really love. So this song was felt by all of us.

    Meatloaf always sang very true. He´s not showing off but dramatize and tell the story. So you´re right. No extra "look-mom-what-I-can-do"

    Meat Loaf was my mom’s favorite singer, so my sister and i grew up with his music. i’ve been singing this song since i was like 3 years old. i’m 46 now and i love seeing new people discover him and his amazing theatricality and voice 💜 he’s been in a *ton* of movies, from Rocky Horror to SpiceWorld (yep… Spice Girls movie... it was epic and nobody can ever change my mind about that). just rewatched SpiceWorld after he passed actually, because he has this one line that’s just *amazing* and always makes me smile.

    Meat was an amazing performer...it was, and is, so easy to get lost in watching him and/or getting lost in the sound of his voice, but the lyrics of his songs tower above so much other music. His collaboration with the song writers deserves a special mention, but the songs he chose speak highly of him.
    Very few reactors actually listen to lyrics: my compliments, Maggie.

    As someone who grew up listening to Meatloaf near daily growing up (Dad loved waking us up with 80's music) watching the moment of realization when the chorus hit was just gold. YOur apprication for his work even more so.

    I must have listened to this song thousands of times when my marriage was over - Meatloaf got me through it. Deep down loved him, we have three amazing kids together, 2 out of three ain't bad - and ain't enough -- I could never trust him again.

      Meatloaf's greatest hits were written by Jim Steinmann, who was also a talented pianist but not so much a singer. Meatloaf was one of a few that could get what Steinmann was trying to do with his songs.
