#70s rock stars

vavandeveresfan:

Another icon of my teen years has passed, dammit.

In a decade full of scrawny-ass rock stars, “Meatloaf” was a surprisingly romantic rocker with a rich rather than screechy voice, and songs dripping with angst.  

Teen guys, clueless as always, were completely confused by girls sighing over Meatloaf. He was the Phantom of the Opera of rockers.

RIP, Marvin Lee Aday.  You were our Bad Boy cuddly stud in a sea of sneering, arrogant skinny jerks, and we teen girls loved you.

And of course he was in Rocky Horror Picture Show.  When you get right down to it, Jack Black’s rocker was a watered down version of Meatloaf.

The iconic Bat Out of Hell.
