Tiproast, I did not mean literally, but a song in which the coda was longer than the the actual body of the song was unheard of and broke new ground. It also definately popularized long fadeouts with other musicians.

I've always had truoble when it comes to picking favorites among a lot of things. for example, i don't really have a favorite color, i love lots of them, can't choose. I have a similar problem with bands i like/love. favorite song can depend on day, mood etc. i can't limit myself!
But...if you give me a band/singer i'm lukewarm, like ok, or hate and ask me to pick a favorite, i can do that.
so, here's one. despise Springsteen, but love this song, only one of his i do.

Not a fan of this one and like you, I despise Bruce but this one I find to be his best, for me anyway.

Good discussion about Springsteen. I too fall into the "not a fan" category.

But the Patti Smith version of "Because The Night" is pretty good.

And 10,000 Maniacs did a good job with it, as well.

 
Here's another artist i like some of, but this is the best one for me.
i notice a lot of songs i really love have some sort of melancholic nostalgic feel to them and this one is no exception. i think it is one of the saddest songs ever because longing for something you thought you had, or had briefly can amplify its loss in a certain way.

Bat Out Of Hell was a brilliant album that I didn't learn to appreciate til I was much older. My cheating girlfriend listened to this album non-stop with her girlfriends in our early 20's so I was really soured on it.

But it is truly an awesome album.

That entire album is great. Don't exactly remember the entire story but it was recorded by Cleveland International records & WMMS immediately began giving it a ton of air play. MMS, like it did with many artists, helped him hit it big.
 
Jim Steinman was a brilliant songwriter, and his writing with Meatloaf's powerful tenor voice was a magical combination. Like Bernie Taupin and Elton John. It's not coincidence that Meatloaf didn't really have another hit until he joined with Steinman again for Bat Out Of Hell 2 with the song "I Won't Do That" which was an extraordinary hit in the midst of the awful grunge music.

Random piece of related trivia - Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" is also a Steinman song. Next time you hear it, you'll recognize it as such and can totally hear Meatloaf singing it.
