Meat Loaf produced 12 studio albums, including his “Bat Out of Hell” trilogy- “Bat Out of Hell”, “Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell” and “Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster is Loose”, and released 39 singles including “”What You See is What You Get”, “You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth”, “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad”, “Paradise By the Dashboard Light”, “Read ‘Em and Weep”, and “I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That”).

As an actor, Meat Loaf was cast as Eddie and Dr. Everett Scott in the 1973 L.A. Roxy cast of “The Rocky Horror Show”. The success of the musical stage show led to the filming of the cult classic film THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (1975) in which Meat Loaf was cast as Eddie, and co-starred opposite film legends Tim Curry and Susan Sarandon.
