The Todd Rundgren - Todd poll

because beyond the shit lies beauty (like "going to heaven")

this would have been a masterpiece is it wasnt a double lp imo

"...I think it would be rude not to do "Todd" or "Hermit"...

great stuff

Nachon

thats right

A somewhat patchy album, but "A Dream Goes On Forever" is classic.

i wish all patchy albums will be that good

wonder if anyone will take the Gilbert & Sullivan track...

and i wonder how many votes this polls will get in general

poll

"dream goes on forever"

no contest

I prefer the Back To The Bars 'dream goes on ...' version to the one on Todd. The ballads (I Think You Know, DGOF, Don't You Ever Learn?) are some of my favorites but I'm going with Heaven/King Kong.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Difficult to choose. Think I'll go for "Heavy Metal Kids".

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Overall Rundgren songs poll?

I think that's a great idea. My ballot would be short (maybe six or seven songs) but intensely felt.

Heavy Metal Kids sounds like a Physical Graffiti b side.

We would need more of those 70s catalogue graphics like in the steely Dan poll

Last ride is the best song ever

^^^ so good

"Sons of 1984"!!!

^ Would have voted for that now, instead of voting the same way as everybody else.

Surprised nobody voted "Don't You Ever Learn?"

complaining about it being a double-lp is silly. initiation was longer than this one and it was a single! this isn't seamless like its predecessor, but it doesn't ever test my patience the way "a treatise on cosmic fire" does.

Would totally vote in a Rundgren ballot poll.

POLL-O IT'S ME
JUST WANNA BANG ON THE POLL ALL DAY
SOMEPOLL / ANYPOLL

lol @ results btw. somebody sockin it up?

Izzat love. But its too short.

Useless begging is one of the greatest songs he ever did. Cant get it out of my head atm.

my Dad used to play "Don't You Ever Learn?" all the time on the piano, as a kid I just assumed it was a song he had written himself, since I never really asked. hearing that a big chunk of his repertoire came from this album was a very strange experience.

my life is on the line for an elpee's worth of tunes

father frogbs = World's Greatest Dad

Well since everyone has repped for nearly every track on the album I'm gonna say 'No 1 lowest common denominator' is a one of Todd's underrated jams...can imagine a young Prince taking note of the solo...what an amazing guitarist Todd was...

Todd "major 7th" Rundgren

“Last ride” so majestic

Hell yeah

Todd "major 7th" Rundgren

This is why he's the best

I watch society crumble and I just laugh

so far away and so long ago

I never looked at these results. Heavy Metal Kids won with 12 votes and nothing else got more than 3?!?
