Deserves induction solely based on A Wizard A True Star and Todd Rundgren's Utopia - two of the best LP's ever recorded.

^Both decent albums, but by no means 2 of the 'best LP's ever recorded'....and there are plenty of artists imho who should get in before Mr Rundgren.

Todd is overdue, and this weekend I'm dressing up as "The Man in the Tin-foil Hat". Appropriate for the mid-terms as well as Halloween! |

Hi,
Hmmmm ... it will make his ego even bigger and have him take even more pot shots at Mr. Conservative that he has had fights with for years! Oh well ... the presenter will have to be his nemesis, or it's not worth the price of admission! And then, they kiss and make up and play a set together and proceed to destroy each other's songs ... can you imagine Black Mariah with a screaming guitar, or Hello, It's Me with a loud bashing guitar laughing at the song ... or on the other hand ... a boring bass beat destroyed by the ................... Maybe TR won't ruin XTC's album this time, except for one song!

I'll vote for Todd as well as The Zombies, Roxy Music, and Kraftwerk. Somehow we need to have King Crimson and Kansas voted in.

There are as many things produced or handled by Todd that I dislike as I like (or indeed really Love..) he's produced as much guff as he has pure stardust.. And that's why all in all I really rate him. Maybe he has an inflated ego (F**ks sake, he's not the only one, there's a few closer to hand..) and an almost deliberately erratic and contrary ability regarding the creative process but he is certainly a one off and at his best, a near creative genius. Don't give a monkeys about the R&RHOF tho'.. sorry.

With all due respect, I think that TR is probably one of the best in that list. heck, I still have all his albums up until the Utopia stuff and the Eyecon thing. And I like them!

I seriously hate the RRHOF. I mean, the museum part is cool, I bet...but do these musicians need more trophies?

Refreshing news out of the Rock and Hole Hall of Shame. Todd deserves it no matter who he is ahead of or behind.

Hall of Shame indeed...any institution that inducts Donna Summer for rocking harder than Jethro Tull is a joke

I am admittedly a little light on my knowledge of Todd Rundgren. Based on what got airplay, I was never inspired to listen to the rest. All I really heard was Hello Its Me, a rather saccharine and overly emotive pathetic vocal delivery supported by bland music, and Bang the Drum All Day, scarcely a decent novelty song, let alone some kind of rock and roll classic. With examples like that, there simply was no call to burn any of my limited music time chasing more of his work when I knew there were hundreds of other artists out there that would grab my attention more.

Most of his stuff is pop oriented but now and then he did cut loose with a rock gem...
like this one... and as someone else mentioned ...Utopia his foirst under that name is good prog rock.
