Todd Rundgren - Something/Anything? (Top 500 Countdown Update)

This very odd double album made Rundgren a star. I find this very strange since this is a very odd album. It's about as experimental as it gets and it's a double album on top of that. Each side of the album is completely different and so there is really no flow to the album. The 70's were a very interesting time indeed. Personally I don't care much for the album. It has two very good pop songs "Hello It's Me" and "I Saw the Light," but the rest of the album is a bit too off for me. Maybe the better experiment would have been to see if he could have made a 10 track album full of very solid songs that worked to form a cohesive whole. I have to admit to knowing absolutely nothing about Rundgren except for the few pops songs I've heard on the radio over the years, but he's a very interesting guy who has had a large impact on rock music.
