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

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

Zeno, Monday, 14 January 2008 17:07 (eighteen years ago)

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

Zeno, Monday, 14 January 2008 17:16 (eighteen years ago)

Went for "The Last Ride" the saddest most beautiful song evah recorded. The end solo...ah the humanity....

sonnyboy, Monday, 14 January 2008 17:49 (eighteen years ago)

sonnyboy, Monday, 14 January 2008 18:05 (eighteen years ago)

thats right

Zeno, Monday, 14 January 2008 18:55 (eighteen years ago)

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

Geir Hongro, Monday, 14 January 2008 19:36 (eighteen years ago)

i wish all patchy albums will be that good

Zeno, Monday, 14 January 2008 19:39 (eighteen years ago)

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

henry s, Monday, 14 January 2008 19:39 (eighteen years ago)

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

Zeno, Monday, 14 January 2008 20:13 (eighteen years ago)

"dream goes on forever"

winston, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 03:24 (eighteen years ago)

no contest

winston, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 03:25 (eighteen years ago)

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.

rat bat bruce, Wednesday, 16 January 2008 15:34 (eighteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

ILX System, Thursday, 17 January 2008 00:01 (eighteen years ago)

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

Tom D., Thursday, 17 January 2008 09:59 (eighteen years ago)

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

eight years pass...

Overall Rundgren songs poll?

calstars, Friday, 27 May 2016 00:52 (nine years ago)

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

clemenza, Friday, 27 May 2016 00:54 (nine years ago)

Heavy Metal Kids sounds like a Physical Graffiti b side.

calstars, Friday, 27 May 2016 00:57 (nine years ago)

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

calstars, Friday, 27 May 2016 00:59 (nine years ago)

Last ride is the best song ever

calstars, Saturday, 28 May 2016 00:46 (nine years ago)

^^^ so good

lute bro (brimstead), Saturday, 28 May 2016 00:58 (nine years ago)

"Sons of 1984"!!!

lute bro (brimstead), Saturday, 28 May 2016 00:59 (nine years ago)

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

Larry 'Leg' Smith (Tom D.), Saturday, 28 May 2016 10:45 (nine years ago)

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

Robert Adam Gilmour, Saturday, 28 May 2016 10:55 (nine years ago)

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.

diana krallice (rushomancy), Saturday, 28 May 2016 19:10 (nine years ago)

Would totally vote in a Rundgren ballot poll.

lol @ results btw. somebody sockin it up?

lute bro (brimstead), Sunday, 29 May 2016 04:19 (nine years ago)

Izzat love. But its too short.

StillAdvance, Monday, 30 May 2016 07:44 (nine years ago)

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

glumdalclitch, Tuesday, 31 May 2016 03:05 (nine years ago)

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.

frogbs, Tuesday, 31 May 2016 13:04 (nine years ago)

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

lute bro (brimstead), Tuesday, 31 May 2016 18:35 (nine years ago)

father frogbs = World's Greatest Dad

Naive Teen Idol, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 00:35 (nine years ago)

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...

X-Prince Protégé (sonnyboy), Wednesday, 1 June 2016 00:44 (nine years ago)

Todd "major 7th" Rundgren

calstars, Friday, 3 June 2016 21:13 (nine years ago)

“Last ride” so majestic

calstars, Thursday, 28 June 2018 03:52 (seven years ago)

Hell yeah

brimstead, Thursday, 28 June 2018 19:35 (seven years ago)

so far away and so long ago

brimstead, Saturday, 5 April 2025 22:50 (ten months ago)

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