Money money money - Todd Rundgren on UK's cultural changes
Blackpool Gazette
|October 09, 2025
From the blistering fuzzed-out Nazz riff on the Nuggets compilation to the wide ranging experimentation of Utopia and thoughtful reflection of his solo albums, Todd Rundgren has had one of the most prolific and diverse music careers of all time.
-
Rundgren, 77, also built a name for himself as a producer, working with the likes of Sparks, Patti Smith and XTC, plus the debut album of seminal glam punks The New York Dolls.
And while his psychedelic 1960s band The Nazz has a cult following, he is best known by British audiences for the 1972 single I Saw The Light which, with its soaring lead guitar riff and driving piano, influenced the power pop bands that followed.
