When an Interview isn't about the interviewer and you talk like friends ....things go so much better....you don't feel like your Dosed.....Great inter-session....

I saw Todd last week in Boston.It was my fifth time I've seen him and he's lost nothing.He still has lots of energy at 70+ . One of the greats for sure.

What an enjoyable time watching these two and hearing Todd’s back stories. Thanks, Jonesy and Todd!

“Even when incompetence is the yard stick, some people are still more competent than others.” Welp, thanks to Todd Rundgren I know what I want on my headstone.

Never seen Todd so at ease during an interview before ,well done Jonesy

A Wizard, a True Star is Genius

I love Steve & Todd so much. I could listen to both of them talk all day long and to their music all night long. Not enough hours in the day to enjoy them both. Absolute treasures.

Todd is a genius on the mixing/producing board. He was for years the go to guy for people in the know about such things. He never even hit on producing Hall & Oates. Way back in high school in 1972-73 us girls knew he was brilliant & so cool when we found out he played all his instruments on some of his albums. Great performer too! LOVE TODD😘😍😗

Todd has always been.timeless he makes sense, makes and produces great music And I am so happy I grew up with these bands in the 70's & 80's so great!!!

I met Todd around 1971-72 along with The Hello People and Billy Joel at a showcase at some Hotel in NYC. I got in because I was friends with Billy's guitarist and drummer. Al Hertzberg and Rhys Clark. Anyway, I spoke to Todd. What a nice guy. Not the typical asshole rock star. Such a fond memory.

Great Musician. Underrated by the masses. I grew up with his music. Lucky me!

Always a pleasure to hear Todd talk about music and the industry, he's a smart guy who has been through it all with class.

he gave me a autograph with a smile and nice comment.....genuine great talent and nice person

Excellent interview with my favorite musician.

Todd on producing Sparks: "They were just really weird...Sometimes I do things because nobody else will do it. But it has to be done." A lot of now-classic music saw the light of day only because Todd had the foresight to put it out.

Fantastic interview. So glad they went longer than Todd's first time on the show,. Bravo!

I like Todd's opinion of the RRHOF. I like hearing Todd talk. Well spoken. Common sense kind of guy.

Todd is a musical genius.

Super smart creative guy. I'll check out the book. Thx.

I just have to say that you are a good dude Jonesy. You show alot of respect.

He produced most of Badfinger's Straight Up album ( George Harrison produced a couple of songs). One of my favorite all time records - song writing and production.

I fell madly in love with TR when I was 12. That live continues going into 60!!!!

The ladies loved Todd. He did a nice job producing XTC & The Psychedelic Furs.

Todd is in my Hall Of Fame.

Great Interview with Todd. I like also the Albums with The Nazz from 1967-1969. What a great Output over the decades Todd has.

What a historian Todd is! I could listen to him talk all day.

Love Todd unique insightful guy and love Jonses juke box,!

Todd is a ground breaking guitarist as well and before Vai, Satriani and all the rest.

He produced my favorite Badfinger album.

Todd is such a talent

Im so glad Todd!!!! I was given a utopia 8 track when I was 15. That music was a curse to my obsession with qiadraphon8c sound. I got to talk to kevin on messenger last year. Hes a fantastic drummer on that album.

Todd is a great man

Todd's explanation of micro dosing hallucagens is so spot on. Then every now and again ,have a blow out & clear out the cobwebs of the mind. At least that's how I feel

This chic I know was almost crying listening to “two out of three” and she must not have noticed how it’s the most hilarious song that’s ever been done.

I enjoy these nice lengthy types of interviews from Jonesy ! 🤘

one of my triad of music production gods: Todd Rundgren, Brian Eno, and Trevor Horn. Without them, my music collection would not exist.

Terrific interview!! A pleasure !!

Back To The Bars was an album I really liked back in the early 80's!

Todd great guest as always

Glad to see Rundgren in a good mood. I still consider RUNT to be one of the best records ever made. His tribute trilogy to Laura Nyro is one of my favorite things. When he was on Darryl Hall's show he seemed like the biggest jerk on earth. Must have had a bad day.

Steve is still one of the most handsome men in rock. And Todd Rundgren is an underrated genius. Lovely interview on every level :)

Todd is like ... THE Rocket Scientist of Rock Music. I still can't figure out how Anyone recorded the INITIATION album; especially back at the time it was done. And the folks on that album were, (among a few others, I believe), Edgar Winter, Rick Derringer, Dan Hartman - so basically, The Edgar Winter Group. You would never know it.

Couldn't agree more about Sparks. Saw 'em around first album time at The Rainbow with GT Moore and the Reggae Guitars supporting and they were indeed a rocking band. Great show

Always been a fan of Todd he produced so many unique bands Sparks Tubes and on and on!As well as was unique artist himself!

It’s always a pleasure to listening to Todd i always have to laugh for his nose picking great humor

Badfinger - Straight Up 1972. Produced by Todd Rundgren. The only exception is the song Day After Day which was produced by George Harrison. Todd came in to take over when George left to organize the Concert for Bangladesh.

Whether you like him or not he is force be it as a composer, performer, producer and innovator. RIP the music biz.

And the music played forever and it captured every ear

‘ Diserations , what’s that ? Your a fucking gem jonesy . Your good at this , interviewing people I mean. Todd seems so relaxed and at ease with you. Cool. Hey all the best.

Patti Smith is from Woodbury Gardens Deptford NJ the next neighbor hood from me in Woodbury by the Armory... I love saying that!! She is way older than me and was gone from there before I even knew anything but still!! And Todd from Upper Darby philly.. how cool is that

He’s always down on the Dolls I don’t know why they where great I listen to them almost everyday. Rip JT.

Great interview and Todd is very intelligent ... He certainly laid it out on the BS rock&roll hall.

Nazz ...beautiful.

Loved the stuff Todd did with the Tubes.

Legends meet !

GREAT GREAT EPISODE!

Really enjoyed this! :0)

I've loved Todd forever I saw the light and hello it's me are just two of my favorites Id love to meet him

Did you know mate? you played the previous portion of the vid twice? epic! I played in a band and the crowd wanted an encore. We came out and did an encore with the song we opened up the show with because we didn't have any more material left to play and no one even noticed ;)

Todd also produced APPLE RECORDS band "BADFINGER"

Awesome

Love Todd, I do.

Bat Out Of Hell....pure genius!

I do believe Todd received $12 mil payment in lieu of future royalties on Bat Out Of Hell. He used that to build his Hawaii house and studio.

I wished he asked Rundgren for a New York Dolls story

KRAFTWERK!!!

Great interview, I didn't know Todd was so interesting and that he had produced XTC. SKINNY!

Todd Rundgren says at 24:47 "It gets taken over by other entities who don't actually care about the quality of it but how much money can be made from it, then it all breaks down into something that is bottom up." This describes exactly what is going on now in the music industry. I would argue that grunge was the last music movement to shake things up about 30 years ago (EDM didn't exactly have a defiant, rebellious, fuck the mainstream stance) So having said that, there has been no backlash against the corporate machine in 3 decades, and this really worries me.

Excellent comparison of a sports hof vs. rock hof. Todd says 'wait til I'm dead to enter because I'm not retired.' He mentions players are retired before they go in hof.

another good show steve

Probably the most intelligent entertainer or performer ever

i saw the light

The Rock and roll Hall of Fame there's never been a bigger joke Janet Jackson is the furthest thing from rock and roll that you can get

Todd is one of the best musicians ever, the RRHOF is indeed a joke!!

Hypnogogia is the state from awake into sleep, but the transition from sleep to waking is hypnopompia

Jimmy Ienner did "Some Kind of Wonderful." Zappa did "Good Singing, Good Playing several years later.

25:48. He and Donald Fagen (a.k.a. Lester the Nightfly) are all about the 7 second delay.

Hello its me !

TODD IS GODD.

Forever Now, Psychedelic Furs

He did a great job with The Pursuit of Happiness album Love Junk

Great

New Ronnie Lane (Small Faces, Faces, Slim Chance) box set out this month.

Todd produced "No Way Out" by The Tubes... nuff said.

TODD!!!

90's was New Wave then it went a bit a different way so many great genres of music Thank God

1:14:49 - I believe the Depeche Mode song Todd is talking about is 'Blasphemous Rumours', however that one had been released already in '84, as opposed to XTC's 'Dear God' being released in '86!?

I love u steve

Todd “Phil Silvers” Rungren

Bat out of hell is a masterpiece album and super guitar playing by Todd aswell.

Todd Rundgren is the American Bowie.

shout out to BB and declan

Tod Lung-phlegm is impressive . I would love to know how much publishing he has outside of stuff he personally performed or released . He has had some hits as a performer and makes $ touring but I reckon his writing and production skills helping others have hits probably made him more money especially that sweet sweet mailbox money . He is lucky that he gets to experience all aspects of the music industry including getting into the 1% of wealth and isn’t so terribly famous that life gets so weird that your a prisoner to your fame. Or your fame is constantly humping your ego to where it’s hard to tell them apart and they start reproducing filling your head with their progeny . He seems pretty down to earth without the pretense that artists get when they mistake their ability at their craft for omnipotence of all things that involve intellect . He speaks to the difficulty of bands which explains his strategy of being in the music biz and perhaps partially why he isn’t a freak after a lifetime of exposure to the industry . Being a musician is smarter then being a rock star for longevity. Rock star comes with a contract in blood it is hard to be a rock star and musician simultaneously without some price .

And I’m sure they both listened to mmr 93.3 ! Well maybe

When people from the UK say insulting things [with conviction, or in jest] it's just so cutting and funny.

my first time seeing a Todd interview. He's very knowledgeable and slightly narcissistic, but who cares; he's one of my FaVE artists, since 1968! This is a slow-moving interview though.

I actually purchased and still have a copy of “tortured artist effect” on LP , and no I think “bang on the drum” “ exactly “Todd” in respect of “ lock jaw” or certain synth/ guitar riffs of the past , don’tchusee , MEATLOAF BEING the most hilarious as of yet.

Damn, Steve has turned into Dave Lee Travis

44:45 I don't know why Todd always insists that "Bang the drum" was never released as a single. It was the second single from TEPTAE. It has "Chant" as the flip side. It was released in April of 1983. Does he mean the song took off before Bearsville released it as a single?

This isn't really over an hour long. Part of the video replicates the whole Meatloaf story twice... so figure 10-15 minutes less...
