The most excellent Slau (his podcast: <a href="http://sessionswithslau.com/" target="_blank">SessionsWithSlau.com</a>) joins me for this interview.<br /><br /> <img src="http://assets.libsyn.com/images/psn/ToddRundgren.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="152" height="199" align="right" />Hailed in the early stage of his career as a new pop-wunderkind, supported by the certified gold solo double LP <em>Something/Anything?</em> in 1972, Rundgren's career has produced a diverse range of recordings as solo artist, and during the seventies and eighties with the band <em>Utopia</em>. He has also been extremely active as a producer and engineer on the recorded work of other musicians.<br /><br /> During the 1970s and 1980s, Rundgren produced big-selling albums, including <em>Bat Out of Hell</em> by Meat Loaf, <em>We're an American Band</em> by Grand Funk Railroad, and <em>Skylarking</em> by XTC. In the 1980s and 1990s his interest in video and computers led to Rundgren's <em>"Time Heals"</em> being the eighth video played on MTV, and <em>"Change Myself"</em> was generated on commercially available Amiga Computers.<br /><br /> His best-known songs include <em>"Hello It's Me"</em> and <em>"I Saw the Light"</em> which have heavy rotation on classic rock radio stations, and <em>"Bang the Drum All Day"</em> featured in many sports arenas, commercials, and movie trailers.<br /><br /></p> <ul> <a href="http://trconnection.com/" target="_blank">Todd Rundgren's Web Site</a><br /><br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001IUKHBI?ie=UTF8&tag=homstugur-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001IUKHBI">Check Out Todd's Album Arena</a><img style="border: none !important;
