"The first album I bought, wee record shop Shettleston rd 1978," recalled one person.

"Bat Out of Hell was part of my childhood," wrote another person. "Meat clutching a silk scarf, forward-rolling on stage, him as Eddie in Rocky Horror, Cher looking like a badass in Dead Ringer for Love. We had BOOH for the ending song at Dad's funeral and we so needed it. GNU Meat Loaf. Thank you."
