Review
A unique retrospective on the career of one of the dominant figures that shaped the sound of popular rock music, Todd Rundgren!
Two discs, 25 tracks, 12 Rundgren classics, reconstructed by a whole host of highly acclaimed artists from a wide variety of genres including Steve Lukather (Toto), Vivian Campbell (Def Leppard), Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel/King Crimson), Gary Hoey, Rosetta Stone, Switchblade Symphony, Mission UK and more!
If you think you ve heard these songs before, think again...these artists have taken the music of Rundgren into new worlds that not even his own visionary mind could imagine!
As one of the most mysterious and intriguing forces behind rock music from the 70s to the 80s, Todd Rundgren - a reluctant pop star if there ever was one - has seen his musical accomplishments flourish into one of the most celebrated musical anthologies of the century. After the release of Something/Anything?, it was clear that rock music had found in Rundgren an auteur unlike any other, so profoundly gifted as to earn immense acclaim on both sides of the studio sound board. In addition to the Top Ten single Hello, It s Me from Something/Anything? and several other commercially successful subsequent albums, Rundgren would go on to produce the best-selling Meatloaf album Bat Out Of Hell, the quintessential album by English rockers XTC Skylarking, Badfinger, Grand Funk Railroad and the list goes on. This very special collection brings together a host of all-star talent, each of them musical icons in their own right, who offer a fresh take on 12 Rundgren classics, in various incarnations for a total of 25 tracks. No fan of progressive, hip, funny, intelligent and irreverent rock music will be able to resist this stellar compilation! --Cleopatra Records

4.0 out of 5 stars
Not what it appears to be,
By Barry Sherlock (ludington, mi United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Greatest Classics: With a Twist (Audio CD)
Fans be advised...as there is no track listing or description for this cd, I assumed, incorrectly, that this was a new offering of Todd's music put to a Bosa Nova beat. What it really is, is Reconstucted and Todd & Friends repackaged together. While they are both good discs, the title is quite misleading. I still would recommend, though.

This review is from: Greatest Classics: With a Twist (Audio CD)
A number of Todd's more popular songs in styles you never would have imagined. Different.
