Almost every record label rejected Bat Out of Hell because they thought it was too theatrical, too dramatic, and too different for rock music.

But Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman created one of the most unique rock albums ever made — blending Broadway-style storytelling with huge rock production and unforgettable songs like “Paradise by the Dashboard Light.”

The album went on to sell more than 40 million copies worldwide and became one of the best-selling albums in music history.
