Admiral Television?


I was recently listening to the CD "War Babies" by Hall & Oates. It features some absolutely screaming guitar solos, so I checked the liner notes. Guitars are credited to Hall, Oates, Richie Cerniglia, Todd Rundgren and "Admiral Television". A web search for Admiral Television turned up nothing. Anyone know who this is?

TIA.

Well, what do you know about that. I've been following this thread with interest, and never would have guessed. One cool thing is that it's got me listening to some Todd Rundgren records I haven't played in many years. I saw him only twice -- both times way back when -- and thought he was awesome both times.

Hodu,

If you want to hear Todd flog his guitar, check out his recent disc called "Todd Rundgren's Johnson". He covers about a dozen Robert Johnson classics and just kills 'em. It's a little strange to buy something from TR that features someone else's songs (because - IMHO - he's one the half dozen best songwriters of my lifetime), but this is one of my favorite blues guitar records ever.

You know, I never expected it to be what it turned out to be but I guess it didn't surprise me. When my wife forwarded the information I actually said "get out" aloud at my office. I'm thinking about hunting down that book about Todd now that this thread has peaked my interest. I really like these threads about music and musicians. Between this web site and a interview on NPR with this fantastic female musician Kendra Morris Ive had new music showing up at my door step about every other day these past couple of weeks.
Thanks for that recommendation, Marty. I'll definitely check it out.
