Opinions on Todd Rundgren fronting the New Cars?

Not trying to hijack but has anybody have any positive experience with remastered Rundgren on disc(older stuff before 77ish?).Wanted to pick up TODD and SOMETING?ANYTHING and a few others but haven't yet and was wondering if anyone had luck with a certain release?
Maybe i should of started another thread but heck i am tired and didn't get much sleep.....zzzzz

Rundgren with the cars eh......yeah i was a huge fan along time ago but haven't listened for a long time.How is he sounding(and writing) these days?

the japanese cd pressings of wiz true star is revelatory

at least they may sit out this summer's ringo starr's all- star tour this summer. paulina is starting to look like rick.

i've heard a couple of tunes of Todd with the new cars and they pull it off well. Todd is no Ocasek to watch so the live shows may be odd at first.

Seeburk, todd is still being his own unique self and writing a lot of good intellitent music. there are a few clunkers as to be expected. The thing i dig about todd is his willingness to take chances live. No playing it just like the record every time in my experiences over the last 20 yrs or so.

To second Piezo's comments, Todd is the ultimate double edged sword: He deliberately wanders off into the bizarre corners of music and challenges listeners to follow. I'm a huge fan and, as often as not, I don't get it. But, he is an amazing songwriter, can drop your jaw with his guitar (when he chooses to) and is a truly idiosyncratic tour guide through every corner of pop music (from Gilbert & Sullivan through the Yardbirds). Even when he misses the mark (see Liars, his recent Groove/Electronica flavored CD), you always suspect that maybe the music will show its merits upon revisiting later or being reworked live. In short, hard to pass judgement on this guy - pay your money and take your chances. The highlights are unbeatable and make it all worthwhile for me.
