Meat Loaf - Discography (1977-2016)

With his blustery, wounded romantic-on-the-brink-of-a-breakdown style, Marvin Lee Aday (aka Meat Loaf) was one of the biggest chart acts of the 1970s before enjoying a commercial renaissance two decades later. His 1977 Jim Steinman-produced debut, Bat Out of Hell, has sold over 40 million copies worldwide and spawned a hit-making trilogy that yielded the 1993 Grammy-winning single “I’d Do Anything for Love.” He continued working with Steinman as the decades progressed, with the pair’s final collaboration, Braver Than We Are, appearing in 2016. In addition to his successful music career, Meat Loaf carved out an impressive arc as an actor, appearing in the original Broadway theater cast of The Rocky Horror Show, the musical Hair, and in the David Fincher-directed film Fight Club.

Marvin Lee Aday was born in Dallas, Texas. The product of a family of gospel singers, he moved to Los Angeles in 1967 and formed a group known as both Meat Loaf Soul and Popcorn Blizzard. The band earned some attention by opening gigs in support of the Who, the Stooges, and Ted Nugent before Aday won a role in a West Coast production of the musical Hair. During a tour stop in Detroit, he and a fellow castmate named Stoney teamed up to record the 1971 LP Stoney & Meat Loaf for Motown’s Rare Earth imprint. After a tenure in the off-Broadway production Rainbow (In New York), Meat Loaf earned a slot in More Than You Deserve, a musical written by classically trained pianist Jim Steinman. An appearance in the cult film The Rocky Horror Picture Show followed, and in 1976 Meat Loaf also handled vocal duties on one side of Nugent’s LP Free-for-All. ―Allmusic
