Last week's Songs For Saturday celebrated the long overdue selection of the Go-Go's to the Rock 'N' Roll Home of Fame.
Almost as egregiously overlooked by the Hall has been Todd Rungren.
Click here for John Mellancamp's question in 2015 as to this oversight.
But this year a wrong too long endured has finally been made right as Todd Rungren finally makes it into the Rock 'N' Roll Home of Fame.
First up is a classic Todd Rungren composition for every broken hearted person who has endured the end of a relationship when love just isn't enough. Here is "Can We Still Be Friends?"
The cool thing about Todd Rungren is how versatile he is. Here are the credits for the last song
- Lead vocals - Todd Rungren
- Back up vocals - Todd Rungren
- Guitar - Todd Rungren
- Bass - Todd Rungren
- Keyboard - Todd Rungren
- Drums and percussion - Todd Rungren
Here's another break up song from Rungren but this one is fueled more by anger than regret. Next up on the play list is "You Cried Wolf".
Sounding a more hopeful note is a tune written by Todd Rundgren for his band Utopia from their 1977 album Oops! Wrong Planet. Here is "Love Is the Answer".
A cover of "Love Is the Answer" by England Dan & John Ford Coley reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Rounding out today's Todd Rungren play list is a classic party anthem to the joys of doing absolutely nothing. Here is "Bang On the Drum".
Congratulations to Todd Rungren on his way overdue selection to the Rock 'N' Roll Home of Fame.
Until next time, remember to be good to one another and to always keep the music alive.
