I always thought the concept behind the album was long haired pie muncher wishes to shag lady with large boobsLOL

Thumbs Up

The music is good, but not remotely the best lyricists in the market.

I think that Prog Related section is poor without theatrical rock masters, as Meatloaf and Alice Cooper:

Maybe less spectacular, but not  poor.

Theatrics alone don't make an artist Prog.

The lyrics to Bat out of Hell aren't meant to be taken seriously. They're a joke. They're sarcasm - intended to poke fun at all those 'now or nothing, always and forever, turn it up to eleven, rock and roll in my soul, love is eternal' teenagers. IT's a sex-crazed dungeon consortium of baseball game innuendos, cheesy (to the core) spoken word elements, and a ten minute long song about crashing a motorcycle. It's a joke, and I love the lyrics for it.

Love Meatloaf albums for years but cant see him in Prog same as Alice Cooper who is one of my all time faves. Theatrical rock at best.

Does anyone see the irony of a member called "Progistoomainstream" asking for a mainstream artist to be added?
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.
