Todd
Rundgren may have been one of the most ambitious and eclectic musical figures
of his generation (note-for-note recreation of “Good Vibrations,” anyone?), but
he was never better than when he was crafting great classic pop songs. “A Dream
Goes On Forever” was never a big hit, perhaps because it was not nearly as
catchy as “I Saw the Light” or “We Gotta Get You a Woman”, but it’s one of his
most affecting efforts. A close second would be “Love Is the Answer,” whose
incredibly soulful cover version by England Dan and John Ford Coley (of all
people) deservedly hit the top 10 in 1979.
All in
all, I guess I can forgive him for producing Meat Loaf’s Bat Out of Hell album. ;-)
