Anthology (1974-1985) 7 reviews
Utopia
Rhino / Wea, 1990
The Only Utopia CD You Really Need
+ More Like Todd's Pop Music
+ Good compilation for its era, but get Todd's, too,
ANTHOLOGY 1974-1985 is a great collection of the finest moments by Todd Rundgren's band Utopia, and really the only CD by the band that you really need. It features all of the essential cuts and then some, which is great, as Rundgren was fairly inconsistent both on his own and with Utopia. Here, ...

+ THE INSTANT CLASSIC
Tim Rogers is one of the best songwriters you will find today. This album marks where the lyrics and the music come together for the first time. Purple Sneakers also happens to be one of the greatest laments you will ever hear. Watching them play this song live is an experience. Grown men cry. ...

Level Headed 3 reviews
Sweet
Lemon Records UK, 2005
the crown jewel
+ Level Headed is on the Level.
After countless hits,metal glam classics and rebel raisin'rock, this group of rousers suddenly grew-up and retreated to the hills to record this classic. An album made by mature musicians who were just to good to put out another 1,4,5 boogie album. This has an adventurous feel to it like a classic ...

The Raspberries

May be the ultimate release from the godfathers of power pop
+ Remastered sound is superb!!!!!!!
+ It Still Lives Up To Its Title
When you ask Raspberries fans which album is their favorite, they tend to cite this one over and over again. Maybe it's the perfect distillation of all their Sixties-inflluenced British Invasion pop magic. Maybe it's the amazing sequence of musical gems that is side two...from "Nobody Knows" right ...
