Some great stuff, though it’s still all about the first two records to me.

Something/Anything?
Todd Rundgren
One of my all-time favorite albums. “Couldn’t I Just Tell You” is brilliant early power-pop, and the rest is clever and adventurous. This, coupled with his next album (A Wizard / A True Star), define Todd Rundgren for me.

I love so many of their songs but haven’t found a full album that keeps me engaged. This one included.
