Todd Rundgren Artist Snapshot:

Todd Rundgren first surfaced with 1960s psych-pop group the Nazz, but quickly launched a solo career marked by unprecedented eclecticism. Continually straddling the line between experimentalism and pop accessibility, Rundgren's releases dart from pop-rock to blue-eyed soul to art rock. Though much of his mid-period work came under the group banner of Utopia, Rundgren is best known as a multi-instrumentalist/one-man-band studio whiz (he parlayed his studio skills into a lucrative production career, working with everyone from Meat Loaf to the Psychedelic Furs).

Rolling Stone (5/11/72, p.54) - "...Todd aims for a tour de force which brings all the trends in his music to a head while adding new elements as well..."
Rolling Stone (2/15/01, p.78) - 4.5 out of 5 stars - "...Here the restless whiz kid plays with melody and style....Rundgren tosses off perfectly composed tunes....[His] best-selling, most-enduring work born of desperation..."

One of the best albums of the '70s, Todd Rundgren's third solo project is a sprawling two-disc masterpiece that smartly avoids the self-indulgence that occasionally marred his later records. Rundgren recorded the first three sides of this album by himself, yet somehow the songs have a very open, organic feel missing from other one-man-band records of the early '70s by folks like Paul McCartney, Roy Wood, or R. Stevie Moore. And for all of its willful eclecticism, weirdness, and whiplash stylistic shifts, SOMETHING/ANYTHING? comes across as remarkably unified by the uncompromising vision of its creator.

Classics like the enormous hit "I Saw the Light" and the power-pop mainstay "Couldn't I Just Tell You" abound, alongside odder tracks like the homage "Wolfman Jack" and "Song of the Viking." Side four is a loose studio jam with a small army of pals, featuring the magnificent "Hello It's Me" alongside much goofier material like "Some Folks Is Even Whiter Than Me." Rundgren would often succumb to his indulgent tendencies in some of his later '70s efforts, yet SOMETHING/ANYTHING? perfectly balances his unique sense of experimentation with his impeccable grasp of song and production craft. Though he made many fine musical statements, this remains Rundgren's pop music masterpiece.
