Todd Rundgren gives us the perfect weekend anthem 🥁

I play Bang The Drum All Day every Friday - often several times! Timeless. Thank you!

[@dennisbrown4524]

Todd is a wizard who doesn't get the recognition he should. Look back at some of his older music from the '70s and you can see the genius in him. Plus he plays almost all instruments I hope he gets in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame you deserves to be right up there with the best.

[@jamespeterson2128]

And Grand Funk Railroad my fellow Michigander's. Had the honors of having Todd, producing their WE ARE AN AMERICAN BAND, album

[@davidcurtis7547]

@@jamespeterson2128 And many others . One of the reasons he gives for making such great music is that he became a sound tech and producer . Nice little bit in the New Yorker about that . Todd credited his income from producing records for others for his personal freedom to make his own music . Bang on the Drum paid very well . He never did get why ATT never used "Hello It's Me "

I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert three times. Each one very memorable. He is without doubt one of the most talented artist from the 60’s on. He plays seven instruments. He produced The Bangles. His episodes on Daryl’s House from his house in Hawaii are some of my favorites. The last time I saw him was about 24 years ago with Ringo’s Allstar Band. Does anybody remember the huge pyramid he had in his Utopia tour?

Once I was talking to a millennial and asked them, "If you were financially set for life and no longer had to work for money, what would you do?" They were stumped in answering the question and like Nigel Tufnel discussing his Go-to-11 Marshall stacks I jumped in, "Bang on the drum all day. Exactly!" (as I pointed my finger) They laughed at the "Exactly" part.

[@susanborkenhagen58]

What can Todd NOT do? Write, sing, play, produce, direct, etc. He is still very cool as a live performer. I saw him in 2019 and he was on time, did not take requests and played what he wanted to. He reminds me of Pink Floyd in that area. A true professional.
