Many people will only really know the more commercial stuff that Mr Loaf did, so here is my favorite 10 screamers from the catologue. Please check them out.

1, BAT OUT OF HE'LL. Not the edited radio version but the full length album classic.

2, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.

3, READ EM AND WEEP.

4, I'M GONNA LOVE HER FOR BOTH OF US

5, I'LL KILL YOU IF YOU DON'T COME BACK

6, WASTED YOUTH (EVERYTHING LOUDER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE)

7, ALL REVVED UP

8, IT'S ALL COMING BACK TO ME NOW

9, MIDNIGHT AT THE LOST AND FOUND

10 PARADISE BY THE DASHBOARD LIGHT

I can already hear the groans of dismay, no Deadringer / I'd do anything for love/ I'd lie for you/ you took the words out of my mouth.

All great songs BUT this selection whilst less well known are probably Meat at his best.

    yep, but for me i think these three would be sqeezed into my top 10

    1. NOT A DRY EYE IN THE HOUSE
    2. TWO OUT OF THREE AINT BAD
    3. LIFE IS A LEMON

    Can't argue with those, I imagine arguments could also be made for Heaven can Wait and Modern Girl two more of Meats classics.

    Perhaps I should have made it a top 20.

    Can't argue with most of your choices but for me this one has to be top, only due to personal reasons that it summed up my yesteryear thoughts exactly. R.I.P Meat.

    I think I Would Do Anything For Love deserves some kind of a shout. Cmon...

    It does but I'm trying to focus on the less commercial songs. Most of Jim and Meats best rawest and emotive stuff came pre B.O.O.H.2

    I wouldn't argue against it being in anyone's best of list.
