Ranking the Studio Albums-Todd Rundgren's Utopia

[@JazzzRockFuzion]

My favorite American band led by my favorite living musician! Thanks so much for this video, man. And have to say - Oblivion and POV are two of my favorites! Their 80s pop side is sublime, IMHO.

[@teknical100]

'Deface the music' is hilarious, a great album!

[@GizmoBeach]

Take it home! 🎸

[@geneleonard4368]

I saw the original Utopia band from the first LP live at Radio City MH/ NYC and met Todd outside going in for a sound check / great guy , they played over 3 hrs until they were told to get off the stage. I still have the free triangle shaped program from the show. They played so long we missed our train and had to sleep in the station till morning . One of the best shows I ever saw .

[@kevinwilkinson2972]

Wish I had seen that show.

[@namgodz]

POV is my fave. "Play This Game" is one of their strongest album start songs and "More Light" is a superb swan song. All the filler songs are different from each other with the bluesy "Mystified"being the weak point. One great album.

[@millfred123]

Oblivion was great too ... sad to see it lumped in with the "shitpile"

[@alexhicks5889]

Mimi Gets Mad is the low point for me.

[@visualizeprog2874]

@@alexhicks5889 I love "Mimi". It's interesting to see just how much this band splits opinions, even among fans.

Another Live is my favorite from this band. "Heavy Metal Kids" is heavy as hell and their take on "Do Ya" is awesome.

[@seaoftranquilityprog]

yep, great live album!

@@seaoftranquilityprog I think it deserves an honorary promotion to the level of studio album since there's some major Utopia work on there that isn't on any other album.

I love both Oblivion and POV. Great power pop albums with killer slower cuts.

[@NoCanDu]

Those two!!! Then Oops!

[@jamgod8009]

Thanks for this video, Pete. Todd Rundgren is probably my favorite artist of all time and I'm thrilled to see you cover his work. Would love to see a best to worst of his solo work some time. By the way, I think you should give "Deface the Music" another listen some time. Yeah, it's a Beatles parody/tribute album, but there's a lot of great songs on it. Not close to their best, but a great standalone album. Tracks 3, 5, 7, 9, and the rest of the album are all fantastic songs. I even enjoy the Beatles parody songs lol. "Crystal Ball" is the shit lol. Definitely an overlooked album.

[@seaoftranquilityprog]

I might just do that!

[@paulgrinsill7785]

Oblivion as a stand alone pop album is far superior to all the other Utopia albums

[@aydnofastro-action1788]

Paul Grinsill ha! Read our comments under SunBoyFun above.

[@millercgr]

Totally agree most people have really missed something when they dismiss Oblivion it is a masterpiece in every sense of the word. How any Utopia fan not love it is beyond comprehension.

[@georgewilliams1470]

I think that the major reason Utopia,Oblvion,and POV don't get much attention is that they released by minor labels.I can't think of any other releases by Network or Passenger.

[@varsitycamplife]

POV hangs in there with Oblivion.

[@johnunderwood3132]

Love your show. It’s the best. I always liked TR because I am from s jersey across from Philly. And he is from that area. Anyway thanks for your channel

[@MRSHORTFUSE100]

My favorite album of all time is Todd Rundgrens Utopia Another Live and it has my favorite song of all time on it the great Roger Powells Mister Triscuits.Like most of Utopias stuff but the early prog stuff is my favorite.

[@joedegroat9198]

I saw these guys at Mid-Hudson Civic Center for the RA tour. Also saw them at Joyous lake in Woodstock warming up for the Oops Wrong Planet tour. Plus about 50 more times around the country. Loved TR

[@derbystardom]

Also, I want to say POV is a great album. I bought it on cassette when it came out, and I love it!

[@jettramel]

Wore out the cassette, I suppose I'm a few years younger, but I loved it, Oblivion too, lucky to have caught Todd on the acappella tour in Houston, he and Utopia side stepped some of the South for I think good reason.

[@aydnofastro-action1788]

HA! See our comments above under Sunboylove

Complete misunderstanding of Deface the Music. "I Just Want to Touch You" is a classic.

[@davorkazjalic8124]

Todd Rundgren's Utopia from 1974 although live sounds superb! Among the studio albums "Ra" is the top!

[@DropAnchor1978]

Funny, I think POV is my favorite Utopia album!

[@crimsonrush]

Certainly much higher on my personal list. More or less a Todd album with Utopia playing on it.

[@aydnofastro-action1788]

POV-Oblivion I think a rad.

[@jettramel]

True. @@crimsonrush

[@DropAnchor1978]

@@aydnofastro-action1788 I agree. They are kind of like bookend albums to me. Oblivion is a bit more raw but both have this sophisticated element to them. When you throw in the bonus tracks of the time, such as "Monument", "Fix Your Gaze" and "Man Of Action", POV is hard to beat as a collection. I think "Mystified" was the only song that did not instantly win me over (I think it was the pseudo blues vibe in the verses and chorus), but that has grown on me as well.

[@aydnofastro-action1788]

sunboyfun OH! Those two songs FIx my Gaze?!?! That is one of the greates things I’ve ever heard. ALSO man of action! And I LOVE Secret Society! I’m a lyric guy so I get Mystified and Zen Machine. More Light. Deep Stuff. Oh oh oh. What about If I didn’t try? Come on. Todd’s vocal on Wild Life is sick. Too much Water ... great song!!... maybe Dude isn’t as much of a pop guy as me...as shown by his top Selection. Speaking of Blues, have you heard, Weakness off of Arena? Just amazing. TR not in RRHF... just criminal.

[@josdurkstraful]

Can't like 'em all? I do!

[@2wayplebney]

I played the last six in the list to death in the 70's and 80's. So, the proggy stuff was arguably better, but they were all good.

[@markbierman7063]

Deface is a BRILLIANT album. And these people saying POV is their favorite have no sense of a whole album being a whole album, cause there are bad songS on POV, and there really haven't been many bad songs in the history of Utopia.

[@JohnHancotte]

POV is my favorite too. It might be for sentimental reasons. There are no weak songs on it. Some say Mystified is but it's just a different vibe, like Number One Lowest Common Denominator. Some of the tunes have programmed drums and I know Todd didn't like that, even though he will do that from time to time. Anyways, my list is nearly backwards from that one. I will reach for DTM often.

[@reclaimerReclaimer]

I remember reading an interview with Kim Wilde many years now, she loved Deface The Music back then saying it was better than The Beatles. The idea was fun, they could've followed it up with another similar album I'm sure these kind of tunes they just shook out of their sleeves at the time...

[@arnaudb.7669]

One of the strenghts of Utopia : VOCAL HARMONIES

[@derbystardom]

My favorite album and song is Adventures in Utopia and Caravan. I love Swing To the Right, and Ra also. Utopia is one of my favorite bands ever. When Kasim came out with his solo song "The Clocks All Stopped", it was really a modern Utopia song. That song is a modern classic! So, I am hoping Utopia will come back with a new album. They can do it again!

[@jettramel]

I'm with you, Ra was my first Utopia album, Adventures is a great one too, I have them all, its just down to personal taste, respect for the volume of work.

[@crimsonrush]

I think most of us, with a few little tweaks, more or less concur Pete. Great work. :)

[@MsKalachakra]

I only have Ra and the first one cause they are the most progressive. Also his most celebrated albums which are Something/Anything, Wizard and Todd. Those albums have a lot of pregressive elements also so my question will be how would you rank those albums among Utopia albums?

[@MsKalachakra]

Good job on describing those later Utopia albums, didn't had those but just found'em on vinyl very cheap and bought them except that pseudoBeatlesque album of course lol. Hope you do a worst to best Todd Rundgren albums some day.

[@runt6062]

Good job once again so many great albums released in the 70s utopia best albums no exception but hey all have something to offer. First rundgren song I ever heard was the ikon way back when never looked back a true musical genius. todd finally starting to get some recognition that will grow as time goes on todd still rockin at 70 years old keep up the videos.

[@RichardW001]

I would have Oops above Adventures, but other than that I agree with your selections. If live albums were included I would have Another Live as number 3 after Ra.

[@seaoftranquilityprog]

Yeah, I decided to leave out live albums as there are a lot of them. I'd have Another Live at either 2 or 3 if I was to include it in. Great live album!

[@steveanderson6293]

[@champ1061]

"Deface the Music" is incredible. Hard to believe that a major recording artist would change gears and put out such a strange, satyrical work in the middle of their career trajectory. Off the top of my head, who else has done this? Often gets compared to "The Rutles", but remember, "The Rutles" was a one-off. And while "The Rutles" was funnier, "Deface" was musically much superior. And they put it out right after their most commercial lp, "Adventures." Guts.

[@atomiccritter6492]

Didnt Lennon get killed around the time too?

[@arnaudb.7669]

Great Show Pete! Todd Rundgren's Utopia (74) is my best prog album of all time with Banco Di Terra and Yes Tales From Topographic Oceans. Here's my Best to Worst : 1-Todd Rundgen's Utopia 2- Ra 3- Oops Wrong Planet 4- Adventures in Utopia 5- Oblivion 6- Pov 7- Swing to the Right 8- Utopia 9- Deface the Music

[@2728muzikmann]

I saw Utopia open for Blue Oyster Cult on their Spectres tour. Utopia was doing the RA stuff. I love the R A album!!

[@soundsandvisionsHQ]

As fan who followed them starting around 1980 and the "Adventures" album, I thought of "Todd Rundgren's Utopia" and the four-man line-up where everyone was a lead singer and songwriter to be two different bands. So I would count "Ra" as the first studio album. The previous TR's Utopia felt more like an extension of Todd's solo career and didn't have that Beatles model of the multiple singer/songwriters as a unified collective. And Kasim added an extra dimension when he joined on - being arguably the strongest singer in the band...Love everything by the 4 man version, even as they morphed into different styles over their relatively short life. Sometimes it took quite a few lessons to "get it" when I new album arrived, but they would always prove to be worth the investment.

[@kevinmcardle4087]

Almost everything Rundgren did was an homage (or parody) of something else. He is a genius songwriter/singer/guitarist/producer/arranger who can replicate any sound, any genre. I admire him a lot. This is not meant as a put down

[@marsdexter9852]

I saw the original Utopia in Austin in the late 70s. Amazing show! I swear at one point I felt like my chair was stuck to the ceiling. and I had no pot.

[@patrickmcevoy5080]

Oblivion is a fantastic album, and if you're reading this and are tempted to skip it based on this review - don't do it! It's got some spectacular songs, including Crybaby, Welcome to my Revolution, Love with a Thinker, Winston Smith, and most especially the leadoff track Itch in my Brain. That's half the album right there! Oblivion remains an outstanding '80s album. Don't miss out - give it a try. POV gets shortchanged here, too. A surprisingly uninformed video.

[@aydnofastro-action1788]

That was really helpful. I got deep into TR midway in his career. A kid of the 80s, I would run across Utopia albums here and there, but it seemed confusing and didn’t know where to start. I did get the POV double disc, and really dug it. Now I can jump in with some reference points Thanks. I also find it really interesting how Prince was influenced by him. You can even hear it on Prince’s last album, even the look of it.

[@jamesallanburruto]

Good ranking. Utopia Utopia is my fav as well... and then Another Live

[@ChrisOttoMusic]

I had the exact same reaction to Deface the Music, when it came out. Why did they do this? My list would be similar to yours, altho Oblivion would rank much higher. When it first came out I didn't like it, it sounded too 1980s for my taste at the time. Over the years I've grown to appreciate the songwriting, "I will wait" is brilliant, and the unifying vibe that ties the whole album together. A lot of their later records were just collections of songs thrown together, without a unifying theme.

[@ozuidema]

Never was much into Todd/Utopia. However, I looove Ra, which is a real prog classic. Hope that Steve Wilson will release a remaster. Honorable mentions for Oops Wrong Planet and for Hermit of Mink Hollow (not a Utopia album, I know).

[@raitisfreimanis]

Pretty correct ranking list. I'm sure Todd would agree.

[@lonnieviar1753]

What happened to "Utopia: Another Live" the 2nd Utopia release and the early 1990s release "Trivia" both aren't the greatest Utopia albums, but they ARE in the catalog. Check them out if you aren't aware of them. Otherwise, I respectfully disagree on "Deface The Music" It was a sly tip O the hat to the beatles (obviously) and also reminded me of the first Rutles album-its self a parody of the fab Four. Youre correct in your #1 pick though. That side one of the first album is great Prog!! The Ikon also has jazz fusion elements in it in that most of the solos are fusion based where they all got a chance to shine-all 228 player s (j/k) This is a fine, fine album. Good Video Pete!!

[@seaoftranquilityprog]

Trivia is mostly a compilation and Another Live is a live album...I don't include them on these shows, just studio albums.
