Todd Rundgren-The Ever Popular Tortured Artist Effect

This was released in December 0f 1982 shortly after the Utopia album in the summer of ’82. Todd playsv everything on the record which is synthesizer heavy with electronic bass and drums. I don’t think there is much guitar on this record. Another one I taped off the radio,I bought this album about three or four years ago. “Bang The Drum All Day” was a hit for Todd and there is also a cover of the Small Faces song “Tin Soldier”. My favorite songs on the record are the catchy “Hideaway”,”Influenza”,”Drive”,”Don’t Hurt Yourself”,and “Chant”. The last of his solo records I really liked. I bought his next three or four on cassette but wasn’t crazy about any of them.
