Nah, Meat Loaf's for kids, just like those funny books you read! :))  You
can't be serious about really enjoying Meat Loaf, can you??  You ARE???

Loaf himself is OK, I mean he was in _Spiceworld the Movie_ so he's
definitely reached some sort of iconic status! :)

_Queen II_ and _Sheer Heart Attack_ were big schoolroom favourites at a
tender age, that's for sure.  "Bohemian Rhapsody" was kind of a turning
point - it was one of those records you like a lot first time, but after
it's been at number one for four weeks it begins to get on your tits, and
after nine weeks it makes you wanna SCREAM!  (At least that's how I reacted
:)

They really did seem to drop out of sight after that, though, until the
famous Live Aid performance.  Which was basically bloody brilliant.  Didn't
really care for their later albums though.
