That’s a deep cut from Todd - from a great album. You really should react to his big hits - Can we Still be Friends, I Saw the Light and A Dream Goes on Forever among many many more….

[@loilt5091]

Keep in mind, The Wizard, composed most of the songs, sang lead and backing vocals, (some female ones added, on a few songs), played EVERY instrument, arranged & produced the entire album...in his early 20's. ♡ Used to fall asleep every night, to this album, during my '70's high school days.

[@rollomaughfling380]

Plenty of other players on this album, on side four.

[@catdude5567]

Bang on the drum all day. Surprised no one mentioned this one.

[@nonsuch]

Todd is a genius. He has a deep rabbit hole of music too between him solo and his band 'Utopia', if you're willing to dive into it. 🤘

[@michaelkearney2186]

Highly underrated power pop classic. And Todd plays/sings everything here. Just amazing 🤟 Phone-worthy, indeed

[@patrick_sharkbait]

I saw the light is another great song by Todd Rundgren

[@ohfour-seven6228]

I'm a huge Todd Rundgren fan and I've heard this song many many times. But until now, it never occurred to me how much this song sounds like The Beatles. Thanks for the great reaction!

[@luisalonsoecheverria]

Todd played all the instruments and sang all the harmonies on this track.

[@russ4862]

This was nice and it was a joy watching you enjoy it. I enjoyed it too! Here's to your next one! 🙏🙂💜

[@robbielux8353]

Power pop classic…now we’re talking! Time to do some more power pop..love the reaction!

[@victoriagrove5344]

Todd has written so many great songs, both alone and with his band “Utopia”. He is brilliant. I recommend “Just One Victory” next.

[@civwar054]

My favorite song is no question, Just One Victory. Chills almost 50 years later.

[@allendesalme197]

The title track of this album and his song "Hello It's Me" are also great choices....Todd is still producing a lot of great albums by other artists today...

[@billbitterman9487]

There wasn’t a title track…

[@1bigrowdy]

Cold Morning Light and Sweeter Memories are something to hear pure genius

[@Frankincensedjb123]

I had this album as a kid and played the crap out of it many times over. Tons of great songs of great variety, funny, catchy, dirty, and just great.

[@pamagnolia]

Great song!! First time hearing it! 👏

[@fadguru]

One word from this album: Marlene

[@voodoochild2968]

He also has great cover of good vibrations

[@davids2096]

I thought I knew all of Todd's songs! Apparently not! The 2 songs that come to mind that Todd performed are Can We Still Be Friends? And Wow I totally blanked out! I can't think of the other song! This one is cool too!

[@chrisunherded2374]

Todd is amazing!

[@edalisauskas7313]

Deep deep Well with this guy Also a successful producer (Meatloaf' debut album was his) Much more than the 2-3 overplayed radio hits Change Myself Parallel Lines Just One Victory Love is the Answer Nice one!!

[@tedcole9936]

Yessir, deep well indeed. Real Man, Hamburger Hell, Breathless, Property, the Last Ride, For the Want of a Nail, Black Maraiah, the deep cut list is soooo long and so good.

[@mrnobody3161]

Ikon by Utopia. A Touchstone Song for me. Very uplifting lyrics, but too long for most at around 20 minutes.

[@billshelly5332]

One of the best albums of '72 and Todd's masterpiece Love/hate thing with him; his great early stuff with Nazz, other great solo things and some serious misfires As you noted, the whole double album has a recorded live feel, which was something for an otherwise meticulous producer. Great pick from classic album

[@billbitterman9487]

It’s in my top 10 favorite albums. This is my favorite song from the record. Black Maria and Little Red Lights are also standouts for me. He could have written pop hits like Hello It’s Me all day long but moved away from pop stardom to eventually form Utopia. He is a great guitarist as well. His work on Bat Out Of Hell as producer and guitarist are as key to the success as Meatloaf’s singing and the songwriting

[@winslow551]

Todd Rundgren is one of the all-time greats. Next go for Hello It's Me. The other side of Todd. Then just have fun down the rabbit hole.

[@mrnobody3161]

So many great Tod Rundgren songs, he's been active since the 1960's. One of my favorites is from 1973 it's known as Tod Rundgrens Utopia, the song Ikon. It has very uplifting lyrics, but it's also very long. 18 minutes methinks.

[@monkface]

This song is officially dedicated to you!

[@dana_brooke_27]

He's on tour now doing a Beatles tribute show with other artists.

[@stevegirardmedia2255]

This song in particular has been cited as a big influence on bands like Fountains of Wayne and other power pop groups & his more progressive stuff trickled down to today’s Tame Impala and similar groups. He has produced groups like The Band, Meat Loaf (40 million albums sold) XTC & many others. I’ve seen him live more than 40 times.

[@coffeehouse4178]

Todd is an amazing talent you should react to hello its me and I saw the light on that same album

[@luisalonsoecheverria]

React to these Todd Rundgren: I Saw The Light, Hello It’s Me, Can We Still Be Friends, Just One Victory, It Wouldn’t Have Made Any Difference, Black Maria, Real Man, Compassion, A Dream Goes On Forever, and We Gotta Get You A Woman.

[@tedcole9936]

Great list. Also his No World Order album has some greats -Property among them

[@bobwowk8440]

Give a listen to Love Is The Answer. It’s one of the best love songs for all ages forever.

[@SteveJonesHimself]

If you like this, you might try some Bad Finger, Raspberries or Big Star. Todd's other albums don't really sound like this one. He had a *lot* to say and he moved on after this.

[@joea7293]

Todd has written some real good music through the years. While this one is not one of my favs he has a pretty good catalog of music. I saw the Light is one of my favorites from him . Give that one a listen. He also wrote a top 10 song (I think it was a top 10) Called "Love is the Answer" Sung by England Dan and John Ford Coley. That song was originally done by a band he was in called Utopia but it didn't do anything until England Dan and John Ford got a hold of it. Ok seems Im rambling on here lol Sorry. As always stay safe and much love to you and yours

[@bradsullivan2495]

A fun song of his that you'd enjoy (and probably have heard bits of) is "Bang on the Drum"

[@keithneale3055]

I saw the Light and We’ve got to get you a Woman.

[@isaackovitz4791]

Hi Angela - You need to listen to this Todd Rundgren song. It is absolutely beautiful. - from the early 70's. Hello It's Me - kzbin.info/www/bejne/on3IdHVtgNNgjKc

[@byronmcgee6777]

The Last Ride

[@kurapaul7442]

Very cool: could you react to Dimash (cover of lkanaide this means dont go. He sings it in japanese, however hes not japanese? If not cool you must have reacted to him? Thank you from New Zealand😃

[@tonyherrera2570]

I Saw The Light is waaaay better than this song. Please react to it….

[@robbielux8353]

Nope

[@masterofce]

Todd has some many good songs and this has to be one of the worst. You need to have a RE-DO for Todd.!!

[@billbitterman9487]

It’s a matter of opinion. Couldn’t I Just Tell You is an excellent example of power pop. Todd layers multiple guitars and adds that seering lead in the break. It’s my favorite song on the record. But, I tend to like deeper cuts on albums rather than the heavily played hits
