[Old School Hound]

Oh, the big boy of rock himself, Meat Loaf, with Paradise by the Dashboard Light. You know, I’ll still whip out the Bat Out of Hell cd every few months and listen to it all the way through. Meat (with his producer Jim Steadman) was a true original.
  A friend of mine at work is adamant that Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad is the greatest ballad in rock history. We will debate that on a future thread.

Jim Steinman has a style that is so distinctive and recognizable.  In addition to his work with Meat on tunes like PBTDL , 2 Out of 3, and I'd Do Anything 4 Love,   Steinman wrote and produced "Total Eclipse of the Heart " for Bonnie Tyler and "Making Love(Out of Nothing at All) " for Air Supply. Give a listen to all of those songs again and see if you recognize Jim Steinman's unmistakable imprint on all of them. I can identify a Steinman tune all day, every day.
