This album of Meat Loaf's is incredible. "Bat Out of Hell" is a legend on its own, and the rest of the songs are the icing on the cake. Ellen Foley (as you know she is one of my favorites at the moment) sounds great, and Meat Loaf sounds fantastic himself. If I had to pick a song from the record, I'd say my favorite is part II of "Paradise By the Dashboard Light", "Let Me Sleep On It". I love the sound and the lyrics of this one.

Besides a Beatles' record, I truly think nothing can compare to this record. I spoke of the DVD on Thanksgiving when it was the anniversary of this concert, but I just had to speak of it again this week. With special guests like Ringo Starr, Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, and many more, there is no doubt that this really was the celebration The Band wanted it to be. If I had to pick a favorite from this record, I'm going to say it is "Evangeline" featuring Emmylou Harris. But, "Theme From The Last Waltz" is amazing, too. The music in this song is absolutely incredible.

Electric Light Orchestra's "A New World Record" is probably one of my favorite records, which is why I'm including it in my theme this week. The whole record - and most ELO - was written and produced by Jeff Lynne. My favorite song on the record (if I had to pick) is definitely "Telephone Line". I know it sounds a little cliché because everyone knows it, but I can't help it. The lyrics and the meaning behind the lyrics are amazing.

This week

This week on my blog, I will be blogging about different records of mine that I absolutely love. I thought that it would be a good idea to have a "theme" for the week to get you all excited for each day that is to come!
