Meat Loaf hit it big in the world of rock 'n' roll with the 1977 album "Bat Out of Hell," one of the top-selling records of all time.

Meat Loaf (Hover)
I like Meatloaf, heard him interviewed and on Spicks and Specks (Australian music quiz) and he's very articulate and funny. He was also very memorable in both 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' and 'Fight Club', which ironically, are two of my favourite films, not because of him. He seems like a generally nice guy, which is rare for an aging rocker and he's going to sing at the AFL (Australian Football League) grand final this year...if my team makes it, it will be an even more memorable GF!
