12) I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)
“This song is simply epic, it’s Meatloaf’s masterpiece. Musically it hits all the notes of love from quiet and tender to exhilarating highs, majestic and spectacular. Lyrically it is the most beautiful, powerful, and complete expression of love - true, faithful, enduring, everlasting love - that I’ve ever read. He poured his heart and soul into this; this song just never gets old and everything else just pales in comparison. But I think I can best sum up my reaction to this song every time I listen to it with a single word: "Wow! "”“Just Brilliant”
“An absolute epic among epics, and one of the very few "Epic" Power Ballads (Epic as in length). Jim Steinman’s writing and composing ability is perfectly matched by Meat Loafs vocals. A true classic for anyone who knows a thing or two about ballads.”
