cookieman15061 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I know you younger guitar bangers might not appreciate these guys but as far as pop songwriter/ producers these guys are pretty darn good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pLTD23l468 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenKen Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I wish more young people would know Rundgren. I've been a fan since the Nazz (yeah, I know). He's quite the genius - great player/writer/producer. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus if you don't have Something/Anything in your CD collection its not complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenKen Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 if you don't have Something/Anything in your CD collection its not complete. Â One of my all time favorites. I'm off to listen to it right now. Thanks Cookie! B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KL Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Yeah I'm a big fan of Live From Darryl's House. It was sad that T Bone Wolk died earlier this year as he was such a big part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Not a big Rundgren fan - I dunno why. Wasn't he fronting The Cars a few years ago? Â I will admit that Hall & Oates were always a guilty pleasure of mine. Blue-eyed soul, pop, whatever - they had some good stuff 30 years ago. Â Â Â Never really understood the role of John Oates besides playing guitar... Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â I've heard rumors that the original Cars are reuniting but without the late great Ben Orr's voice(Just What I Needed, Drive, Candy O) whats the point?

Shnate McDuanus Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Frankly, I've never paid much attention to Todd Rundgren. Â He did produce GFR's We're An American Band, though, so in my book he's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Rundgren is a many-talented guy, been all over the music biz since the sixties. Â Just never popped up on my radar much. Â Meatloaf, anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisnorthw Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Good to see some appreciation of Todd Rundgren, prolific songwriter, producer and all round good guitar player. I've always loved guitarists who have their own sound and having tried all sorts of guitar effects pedals have never come close to replicating his. Most people will know his playing from Meatloaf "Bat out of Hell" without necessarily knowing it was Todd who played guitar and produced that album. On You Tube there is a series of interviews with Jim Steinman on the making of that record including how the motor cycle guitar part came to pass. Worth a look. Saw Todd in London this year with his "Wizard a True Star" show, he's still a good performer. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
