Todd Rundgren Something/Anything? 1972 double album playlist #RMF

This is the second annual Roctober Mewsic Festival hosted by Mary from Jingle Jangle Jungle and I’m happy to join along with her in the fun. 

This month, I’m revisiting some of the classic 70s mewsician that I loved in my teen years. Many I either didn’t catch their names or just forgotten so this hop is educating me all over.  

For today’s artist inspiration I pulled my pick from the online resource, Ultimate Classic Rock list of Top 100 70s Rock Albums. Listen now to Todd Rundgren, Something/Anything?

Todd released his album, Something/Anything? in 1972. This is Rundgren’s first double album.  The album charted on the US Billboard Pop albums in 1974 at #29.  I have to admit his name didn’t ring any bells until I heard the first track and then it clicked. Feel free to listen to any and all of this album.  Here are song titles listed by track order (NOTE: This is a Todd Rundgren playlist creation which I borrowed.)…

      1. I Saw the Light is Todd’s breakthrough hit; charted #12 Billboard Adult Contemporary and #16 Billboard Pop Singles

      2. It Wouldn’t Have Made Any Difference

      3. Wolfman Jack

      4. Cold Morning Light

       5. It Takes Two to Tango (This Is for the Girls)

       6. Sweeter Memories

       7. Intro

       8. Breathless (Instrumental)

        9. The Night the Carousel Burned Down

        10. Saving Grace

        11. Marlene

         12. Song of the Viking

         13.  I Went to the Mirror

         14. Black Maria

        15. One More Day (No Word)

        16. Couldn’t I Just Tell You

         17. Torch Song

        18.  Little Red Lights

        19. Overture: My Roots/ (That’s What I Want)/Messin’

        20. Dust in the Wind

        21. Piss Aaron

        22. Hello It’s Me charted #5 in the US

       23.  Some Folks Are Even Whiter Than Me

       24.  You Left Me Sore

       25. Slut

“I Saw the Light’ and ‘Hello It’s Me’ are the only tracks that I recall vividly.  What about you, do you remember any of these songs? What other Todd Rundgren 70s songs come to mind that you like?

Hit the 4M dance floor HERE!!

Change in plans…At the time I began posting for this month, I had no idea that DH would need to use some of his vacation time or risk losing it. That being said,  I’ll be away from Blogosphere for the most part until bright an early Tuesday morning, Oct. 22. I’ll do my best to boogie with you but if I slip off the dance floor for too long then know I will eventually make it by to see you, so save a dance for me. 😉 

I hope you’ll join me tomorrow for a mewsic doubleheader with my mid-month, Battle of the Bands and another edition of Rocktober Mewsic Fest. 😉
