"A million old soldiers will fade away, but a dream goes on forever."
A Dream Goes On Forever by Todd Rundgren
OK. Todd Rundgren. From Philly. Influenced by Philly soul, R'n'B, Beatles. Records some albums all alone, playing all the instruments himself. Melodic. Twisted. Funny. Steve won Something/Anything from the radio station. Power Pop pioneer. Sheer genius. Everybody loves him. Except Martina. She is wrong. 70s were his pinnacle. Excuse him for Bang On The Drum All Day. Put that out of your mind. Buy his CDs. Or burn this 80 minutes onto one. He raised Liv Tyler!!!! That's all.

ReplyDeleteYeah, I could have made 2 discs but only room for so many, Mr. Anonymous. All great songs though!
ReplyDeletei just caught the end of todd's version of "good vibrations" from his "faithful" album on casey kasim's top 40 for the week of july 10th 1976. todd was returning to the charts after a three year absence. he was #34. i don't remember that song being on the charts where i lived at that time!
ReplyDeleteNo, the American charts were quite different. Todd didn't hit the charts too often up here.
