Meatloaf

[edcollopy]

i've never heard him mentioned before....big fan of his. can't believe that's not talked about more since he's been more relevant in the last 20 years than don henley

I'm not going to get into this too much, but how can you say that. Unless you count relevant as having your song in the background of a Dr. Pepper commercial. Don Henley is way more relevant than Meatloaf. If Meatloaf's went by the name Gary Smith then hardly anyone would remember him at all.

[emmitt01]

I have all of Gary Smith's albums.

That's because all the pot heads kept losing their albums and had to buy it again.

Album sales hardly make you relevant just ask Milli Vanilli. Aside from making the same record twice Meatloaf hasn't been doing much other than sitting around eating cheeseburgers. Henley on the other hand has been saving Walden Woods, Caddo Lake etc. That seems relevant to me.

Don Henley v. Meatloaf -- I like Meatloaf. But Henley is in a different category altogether. Think "Hotel California" and "Desperado" just for starters. But he's just an entertainer. I couldn't care less what he does outside his music.

Meatloaf has supposedly been more relevant than Don Henley in the past 20 years, yet you have to refer to an album released 30 years ago? That wasn't too long after the Eagles released Hotel California, and The Long Run came out after that. Not to mention the numerous hits that Don Henley had through the 80's, i.e. coming within a range of 20 years. Nothing major against Meatloaf, but there is really no comparison.

i'll take stone cold steve austin over those guys anyday

[Eagle1855]

Regarding love, I've heard that Don Henley "will do that", so, I'd I have to give him the nod over Meatloaf.

You are crazy to take Meatloaf over Don Henley. Crazy.

[shutter]

Hey, Meatloaf was featured in the Rocky Horor Picture Show. What has Henley been in? JK, Henley had influenced pop music to a pretty high degree as Meat has not. Unless they are giving us money they are just notalbe names.

And Barksdale, I get a strong feeling that you like the Dixie Chicks.

Go Mean Green!!!!!

[risinggreen]

I'll vote for Meatloaf only if he builds us the Meatloaf Bowl.

BECAUSE STONE COLD SAID SO!!!!

[Cowtown]

Meatloaf is awful.

If I only had four alumni to list I would go with

Norah

Thomas Haden Church

Larry McMurtry

Joe Green

if I was given a fifth choice I would go with either Dr Phil, Bill Moyers or Quoner.

It was pretty funny how hard they had to look for the two Ark St alum they listed.

[shutter]

I really thought Meatloaf was digging deap for us.

[GBarksdale]

You think? I've actually never heard them, since I don't listen to CW.

My point is, entertainers are just that - entertainers. Never understood why people invest singers or actors with such political importance.

And to the person who scolded me for leaving out Henley's body of work from the 80s and 90s, I agree. There was some good stuff there. And you'll notice in my previous post, I referred to Hotel California and Desperado only "for starters."

[shutter]

I think I saw Don Henley at the grammys giving the dixie chics an album of the year award.

Gosh this has to end this thread.

Wow, what an FU you to the Robocop guy and Roy Orbison.

Quoner Field House (and gentlemen's spa) has a nice ring to it though. I can imagine the statue outside now...

Sigh.

[EagleD]

I'll vote for Roy Orbison over them all. I was on campus when he passed. Sad day indeed.

GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!

[Got5onIt]

RoboCop for the win!!!

I did like how ESPN compared notable alumni from UNT vs. those from Arkansas State.

UNT: Mean Joe, Dr. Phil, Norah Jones, Meatloaf, Don Henly, Roy Orbison (couple others)

ASU: Mike Bebee and Al joyner

[NTPhiKap99]

RoboCop for the win!!!

I've gotta go with RoboCop. He's part robot and now he's on the History Channel. Mixing the future and the past kinda freaks me out.

[SCREAMING EAGLE-66]

---Their list was short and looked pretty desperate......... We could come up a bunch of other names not listed that would be very worthy of the list... Pat Boone, Larry McMurtry, Peter Weller (Robocop), Shirley Cochran, Joe Don Baker, Ann Sheridan (well-known actress from the 30's-40's, from Denton and played basketball for NTSTC ) and a lot more including some Von Eriks.

News Flash: Rice and Tulsa won their first round of CUSA over UTEP and East Carolina........ We have wins over both Rice and Tulsa.

aawwwwwh: Smu lost to So. Miss. ....poor thangs.
