As successful as Todd Rundgren is, he could have easily chosen a path that delivered him more fame. After a successful career with Nazz, Rundgren engaged in a solo career that delivered Pop brilliance in the early 70’s. After that, Rundgren pushed his own boundary foraying into music less commercial material and later became known as one of the best producers in the game. The musical talent of Todd Rundgren is unquestioned; the question is whether the Hall feels his solo work is sufficient enough to warrant induction.

at RHOF and enjoyed it overall. I too am
baffled by some of "the fringe" artists who
go in like two women this year. Get back to
rock...
I knew Rundgren was a prolific prodcucer but
forgot many he worked with listed above. Plus
yes he had hits of his own & great writing. Is he
viewed as "an attitude problem?" I saw him on
Darryl Hall's show playing I Saw The Light and the guys
were as breezy as can be. Besides, producer Phil Spector is in. Give Rundgren that Lifetime Achievement
Award already!
He should already be in the R&R Hall of Fame.
A Wizard/A True Star, Initiation, Hermit of Mink Hollow, Healing,
The Ever Popular Artist Effect, A Capella, Nearly Human, 2nd Wind,
To just name a few of his solo albums. All in my top 20 favorite albums of all time. These alone should get him in. Please wake up!!!
