This is the discography of Jim Steinman, an American record producer, composer and lyricist, responsible for several hit songs. He also worked as an arranger, pianist, and singer. His work includes songs in the adult contemporary, rock and roll, dance, pop, musical theater, and film score genres.
- Meat Loaf, “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” (1977) A nearly 9-minute mini rock opera with three acts (complete with an almost too on-the-nose metaphorical interlude of Phil Rizzuto baseball play-by-play), “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” builds and builds until it finally combusts into the aftermath of lust, love and regret.
- Meat Loaf, “You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth” (1977) “On a hot summer night, will you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?” You know the answer’s probably yes regardless, but when the proposal comes alongside production that includes dreamy Wall of Sound production — including an all-time great midsong swipe of the classic “Be My Baby” drum beat — and one of the most (figuratively and literally) breathtaking choruses of the ’70s, said flower-carrying canis lupus is simply making an offer you can’t refuse.
- Jim Steinman, “Left in the Dark” (1981) The GOAT of epic schmaltz rock balladry, Steinman may not have had the vocal chops necessary to sell his cinematic visions of teenage romance to a top 40 audience, but that doesn’t mean he had a bad voice by any stretch.
- Bonnie Tyler, “Total Eclipse of the Heart” (1983) One of the defining singles of the ’80s, “Total Eclipse of the Heart” is a timeless tale of the shadow cast by unrequited love.
