Show Notes
If you have a knee-jerk reaction to the name Meat Loaf, we get it. Like Phil Collins, he and his collaborator Jim Steinman hit oversaturation status by the early '80s and then came back for revenge in the early '90s. But Meat & Jim's journey that weaves around these mega-milestones is simultaneously fascinating, bizarre, charmed, and unlucky. From stage to stereo to screen, the supporting players who pop up along the way might surprise you. Settle in for a ride that takes you to hell and back... over and over... and over again.

More from The Well Of Sound
Lost to a mystical dimension, this episode has been recovered, as if by faerie magic. Recorded not long after Dave and Lex's Favorite Bowie Non-Singles episode, this 2+ hour glam-o-rama continues their discussion of diamondy, tricksy pioneers of that special '70s sound... with the arguable king of glam rock: Marc Bolan. Strap in. Let's get it on and bang a gong. It's the T. Rex universe.
Believe it or not, Dave and Lex have never dug deep on David Bowie, on- OR off-air. That changes with this episode. With a slight twist, of course. They won't be talking hits. This episode is strictly about their favorite Bowie songs that were never released as singles. All decades are spanned in this retrospective, and neither host has an idea of what the other has selected. Let's sparkle some stardust and get to listening! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Let's open up that big ol' crate of live records... Dave and Lex talk about six of our favorite concert recordings and dig in on what we think makes a good live record. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We stumbled across the idea in our very first episode, and then unearthed it with its recent remaster...
Dave and Lex weather a giant storm to talk about what's really important in this life -- underrated solo albums. They discuss a total of six albums, spanning pop, rock, ambient, soul, and even a film score. Which ones? You'll have to listen to find out. Hosted on Acast.
