** Steinman included an excerpt of a performance of {{Music/Giuseppe Verdi}}'s ''Requiem'' (specifically "Dies irae") in Pandora's Box's ''Original Sin'', then reused it as the backing track for "Wasted Youth" (itself a rehash of his monologue from ''Bad for Good'', "Love and Death and an American Guitar") in Meat Loaf's ''Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell''. And if that wasn't enough, he used the "Tuba mirum" from the same work to introduce the single version of [[{{Music/TakeThatBand}} Take That]]'s "Never Forget".

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.

* 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).
