Dunno why this was only in the Meat Loaf page, since it is more of a general descriptor to Steinman's output as a creator.

Added DiffLines:

* AuthorAppeal: Jim Steinman really had a thing for Peter Pan - aside from ''Bat Out Of Hell'' itself, references to "lost boys" and never growing up or changing appear throughout his lyrics.

* EpicRocking: His compositions tend to last a bit longer than the average pop song, and in some cases they're more like mini-operas with distinct movements than songs with verses and choruses. Steinman reportedly burst into tears when he heard that radio stations wouldn't play the twelve-minute album version of "[[Music/{{IDDoAnythingForLove}} I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)]]" (keep in mind that the single edit was pushing it at seven minutes, and it's still one of the longest songs to get to number one in America).
