What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my llibrary (vinyl)



Probably more well known for his production credits than his albums this is Todd's third one, with his best known song of Hello It's Me. Probably the only song most even know by him. Never was big on this. A few great songs, but with 25 tracks, that's not saying much. Hello It's Me is the best, with I Saw The Light and You Left Me Sore also falling into that range. Piss Aaron came close. But with 8 tracks being ones that I would not wish to hear again, makes this album come out on the low side, barely liking it overall. It reached #29 on Billboard with Hello It's Me carrying the weight at #5. I Saw The Light was a #16 single. Hello It's Me is redone from the original on Todd's album with Nazz, which I have somewhere. Think I like this version better. I'm sure this album ranks pretty high among Rundgren fans, just falls a little short for me, of being a well liked album. But I give it a not-well liked.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Breathless

Best Track - Hello It's Me

Hello, it's me
I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe I think too much but something's wrong
There's something here that doesn't last too long
Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine

Seeing you
Or seeing anything as much as I do you
I take for granted that you're always there
I take for granted that you just don't care
Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through

It's important to me that you know you are free
'Cause I never want to make you change for me

Think of me
You know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think I should
