  Todd Rundgren - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Todd Harry Rundgren (born June 22, 1948 in Upper Darby, a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA) is an American musician, singer, songwriter and record producer.
Rundgren (who had adopted an outlandish space-rock image on stage) was often seen playing the eye-catching psychedelic Gibson SG guitar that Eric Clapton played in Cream.
Rundgren helped raise actress Liv Tyler, who was led to believe that she was his daughter until she was 11.

 Todd Rundgren and Utopia
Nazz - Runt - The Ballad Of Todd Rundgren - Something/Anything?
Released when Rundgren was barely out of his teens, his first band's first album shows all of his later motifs: careful harmonies, blazing lead guitar parts, and a weird tendency to draw inspiration from all corners of rock's softer territories.
Rundgren's first attempt at forming a new band was a product of its times: the ensemble featured not one, but three keyboard players, and their debut album is dominated by three extraordinarily long tracks - "The Ikon" runs an exhausting half hour - that mostly consist of elaborate instrumental segments.

Rundgren stayed with the band for several months, but when the group began to move toward hippie psychedelia, he and Carson Van Osten bailed to form the Nazz in 1967.
Apart from a re-release of Runt, the first Rundgren album to appear on Bearsville was Runt's final record, The Ballad of Todd Rundgren, a record that was reminiscent of such melodic singer/songwriter peers as King and Nyro, yet it had a subtly bizarre sensibility and quirky sense of humor that gave it a distinctive character.
Rundgren continued in that direction on his next solo album, Initiation, which was released in the spring of 1975.

 Todd Rundgren - Something/Anything?
If the name Todd Rundgren rings a bell, it's because he was the guiding force behind Nazz; the one-man band called Runt (he even had a hit single as Runt, "We Gotta Get You A Woman"); and the producer of Badfinger, Jesse Winchester, The Band, James Cotton and Paul Butterfield.
Todd's music is highly eclectic, with bits and pieces of The Beatles, Byrds, Ravel, Stephen Stills and Mothers Of Invention, all homogenized to create a distinct sound that is Todd Rundgren.

The remainder of the Nazz's lifespan was plagued with difficulties, aggravated by conflicts between Rundgren and Mooney.
By this time, Rundgren's musical direction had diverged from that of his bandmates (it was primarily his material that was cut from Nazz Nazz), and after a summer tour in 1969 he ended his association with the group.
A second Runt album (The Ballad Of Todd Rundgren) appeared on the label in 1971, but Rundgren subsequently abandoned the concept and his next few records were simply released under his own name.
