The Very Best of Todd Rundgren
: :A good, inexpensive single-disc compilation of Rundgren singles may not be what the world's been waiting for, but it's a fine thing nonetheless. Largely avoiding the big pretensions of many of his post-Something/Anything? albums, this record distills 15 years of releases into a hits-just-keep-on-coming set which makes sense of the sensibility that produced the bemusedly soulful 'Hello It's Me,' the straightforwardly sweet 'Dream Goes On Forever,' and the outright goofy 'Bang the Drum All Day.' --Rickey Wright
