A look at the influential music of Todd Rundgren [1]

['Gareth Branwyn']

Date: 2022-10-14

In this Produce Like A Pro episode, Warren looks at the music and widespread influence of Todd Rundgren.

Since the late 60s with The Naz, through his long solo career and impressive production resume (Badfinger, New York Dolls, Psychedelic Furs, XTC), Rundgren has always been a musician's musician/songwriter's songwriter. His songwriting and multi-instrumental musicianship are second to none.

Sadly, perhaps due to his reputation of an immense ego and being impossible to work with, and his penchant for treacle and excess (he didn't have a John to temper his Paul), he never achieved the greater popularity his talent deserved.

Todd has a new album, Space Force, releasing today, Oct 14. It includes collaborations with the likes of Rivers Cuomo, Adrian Belew, Neil Finn, Sparks, and many others.
