Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticIn recent times Todd Rundgren has just wanted to hang on the phone all day — or at least call people intermittently, over a period of a few years — asking well-regarded friends in music or even famous strangers and ask them to take part in a musical experiment. The results of this reaching-out, long spoken-of but only officially announced today, arrive in the form of “Space Force,” which has the legendary artist-producer teaming up for collabs with Sparks, Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo, Neil Finn, the Lemon Twigs, the Roots, Rick Nielsen and more.The lead track, “Puzzle,” with Adrian Belew, premieres today (see below).

Roy Trakin Creem magazine started publishing as a regional monthly in Detroit in 1969, but didn’t go national until 1971, with a firmly anti-establishment bias that took aim at the likes of Jann Wenner’s Rolling Stone and Paul Williams’ Crawdaddy for eminence in the heady early days of rock criticism. Among its earliest writers were certified pioneers like Dave Marsh, the dark rumblings of the late Lester Bangs and Nick Tosches, and rock-crit icons Greil Marcus, Robert Christgau, Cameron Crowe, John Mendelsohn, Lisa Robinson, Lenny Kaye, Wayne Robins, Ben Edmonds and Sylvie Simmons.

Todd Rundgren and King Crimson’s Adrian Belew have shared details of a ‘Celebrating David Bowie‘ tribute tour that’s due to hit North America this autumn.The celebrated guitarist and ex-King Crimson axeman will be joined by Spacehog’s Royston Langdon, Fishbone’s Angelo Moore and Jeffrey Gaines on the 15-date tour to pay tribute to the late, influential British musician.Bassist Angeline Saris, drummer Michael Urbano, saxophonist Ron Dziubla, and guitarist Scrote (Angelo Bundini), who put together the first Celebrating David Bowie tour in 2017, are in the tour’s backing band.

A.D. Amorosi Start a conversation with Todd Rundgren about his sudden wealth of needle drops within the last 10 months —  including the multiple interpretations of his 1973 hit “Hello It’s Me” as performed throughout the first season of HBO Max’s “And Just Like That…,” or the use of “I Saw the Light” in “Ozark” — and before the question is out, Rundgren is laughing.“I find it as unusual as everyone else does,” says Rundgren from Denver, before another night of playing with friend Daryl Hall during that latter’s current solo tour.

took herself out of the running to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year — “I don’t feel that I have earned that right,” she said in an Instagram post— she revealed that she hopes to one day be “worthy” of another nomination.“This has … inspired me to put out a hopefully great rock ’n’ roll album at some point in the future, which I have always wanted to do!” she said.And if Johnny Cash could work with Rick Rubin and Loretta Lynn could collaborate with Jack White, then certainly Parton could get some rock love.Rundgren — who in addition to being inducted into the RRHOF last year as an artist, has produced everyone from Badfinger and the New York Dolls to Meat Loaf’s “Bat Out of Hell” — would love to collaborate with Parton behind the boards. “Who wouldn’t?” Rundgren, 73, said.“She’s made so many records, has so much experience, you know there’s not going to be any sort of funny business about doing it.

Daryl Hall – one half of 80s pop duo Hall & Oates – has confirmed a long-standing rumour that he was once asked to replace David Lee Roth as frontman of Van Halen.The singer was being interviewed on New York radio station Q104.3 to promote an upcoming solo tour with Todd Rundgren and a new archival album entitled ‘BeforeAfter’. Jim Kerr, a DJ at the station, claimed that he came across the rumour while doing research online for his interview with Hall, before asking the singer if it was true.Hall laughed at the question, before clarifying the situation between himself and Van Halen. “I knew those guys really well,” he said.

Jonathan Cohen On paper, the prominent use of sensitive American singer-songwriter music from the 1970s and ‘80s in a modern Norwegian romantic comedy might seem rather incongruous, if not downright anachronistic. But five decades on from some of their biggest successes, Art Garfunkel, Todd Rundgren, Harry Nilsson and Christopher Cross are back on the big screen helping soundtrack Danish/Norwegian director Joachim Trier’s acclaimed “The Worst Person in the World,” which is nominated for best original screenplay and best international feature film at the upcoming Academy Awards.Co-written by Trier and longtime collaborator Eskil Vogt, “Worst Person” has already won best foreign language film from the New York Film Critics Circle and garnered Renate Reinsve the best actress award at Cannes.

Jonathan Cohen Daryl Hall will put the spotlight on his 40-plus-year solo career outside of Hall and Oates with the release of a new compilation and a solo tour with special guest Todd Rundgren this spring. The 30-track “BeforeAfter” will arrive via Legacy Recordings on April 1, the same day Hall returns to the live stage at Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre.“I picked the songs I thought were right and significant and meaningful throughout this whole body of work,” Hall tells Variety of “BeforeAfter,” which spans his 1980 Robert Fripp-produced solo debut “Sacred Songs” up through 2011’s “Laughing Down Crying,” which was co-produced by Hall and Oates’ longtime associate, the late T-Bone Wolk.

Meat Loaf, the heavyweight rock superstar loved by millions for his Bat Out of Hell album and for such theatrical, dark-hearted anthems as “Paradise By the Dashboard Light”, “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad”, and “I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)”, has died. He was 74.

Chris Willman Music WriterTodd Rundgren, who’s about to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, doesn’t sound like he hopes to ever see Kanye West joining him there. “I’m one of the few artists not on Kanye’s album,” Rundgren says in a new interview — but it wasn’t for lack of being asked.

Todd Rundgren has vented his frustration over working with Kanye West on his recent album ‘DONDA’.According to Rundgren he contributed to the record over a year and amassed “three albums worth of Kanye stems on my computer.”He said he was initially put in touch with West via the rapper’s longtime collaborator, 88-Keys.“I didn’t mind working on his gospel stuff.

I will stop my show and acknowledge the award and mostly acknowledge my fans, because it’s for them,” Rundgren told Ultimate Classic Rock.“They’re the ones who wanted it.

Gene Simmons has hit out at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for not inducting Rage Against The Machine and Iron Maiden this year.The Hall announced its 2021 inductees earlier this week, with Jay-Z, Foo Fighters, Tina Turner, Todd Rundgren, The Go-Go’s and Carole King all entering this year.Among the artists who were nominated for induction this year were Rage Against The Machine and Iron Maiden, but their failure to make the Hall’s final cut for 2021 has irked KISS vocalist and bassist Simmons.“RR Hall of Fame is a sham not to include Maiden,” he wrote in a tweet yesterday (May 13). “Disgusting!”RR Hall of Fame is a sham not to include Maiden.

The inductees for this year’s Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame have been announced, with Tina Turner, Carole King, The Go-Go’s, Jay-Z, Foo Fighters and Todd Rundgren set to be honoured later this year.“This diverse class of talented inductees reflects the Rock Hall’s ongoing commitment to honour artists whose music created the sound of youth culture”, says John Sykes, Chair of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Foundation. “It will make for an unforgettable live celebration of music in October at this year’s Induction ceremony in Cleveland”.That half of this year’s inductees are women is something of a turnaround for a ceremony not known for its diversity.
