Wagnerian rock
Jim Steinman coined the term Wagnerian rock which he saw as a merger of 20th-century rock and roll and 19th-century opera reminiscent of Richard Wagner or Phil Spector's Wall of Sound.
The term was coined by writer and producer Jim Steinman (to describe Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell trilogy of albums).
Apart from Meat Loaf, King Crimson and Bonnie Tyler are mentioned in this genre.
