Who would have thought that a theatrical progressive rock album with its genesis in the story of Peter Pan would become a worldwide phenomenon? Perhaps nobody except writer Jim Steinman, producer Todd Rundgren and of course, the iconic vocalist Meat Loaf. Bat Out Of Hell takes the epic, fantastical aspects of Queen, the hard-earnt escapism of Bruce Springsteen’s blue-collar rock and a little bit of je ne sais quoi to fashion one of the most enduring and celebrated albums of pure pop magic.
