Since I was I was a kid I always new there was something special about Todd. He's truly brilliant. He's contributed so much to the music world and influenced so many artists! This man has always been a great Dad to Liv too... according to her!!
I first heard Todd in Philadelphia in 1972 on the great radio station WMMR . Later in 1973 moved to Florida , bought the Something / Anything 8 -track and played it on my way to work at Disney each day .
I saw Todd in Washington D.C. in the 70's however I was living the glitter glam rock life when a Wizard True Store opened upy mind and soul. Loved you then and more now than ever before . Keep Rocking Todd. You are truly beautiful ❤️...
from the beginning Todd has been part of my musical education. when i need to correct a chord shape or develop a musical idea i reference him. lucky to have seen so many shows since 1974, and know his albums. thankyou TODD.
Thank you so much for posting this! What a mega talent! The man can do it all and on the highest level. Todd might not care about the R&RHOF, but I think this induction will turn on so many more people to his music and productions. And that's a good thing!
I have never once been disappointed by TR. Have been a "faithful" fan since damn near the beginning, going on 52 years (I got to The Nazz 2 years late, but hey, I got there...). Thanks for posting this. It has made my New Year's Day morning.
I've been waiting to see something from this ceremony since i don't have HBO. Thank you very much .T.R. IS A WIZARD AND A TRUE STAR FOR ME FOREVER !! GOD BLESS YOU TODD.😉❤🙏✌❤
God I love me some Patti Smith. Wonderful that she gave his induction intro ! All Todd's fans should give themselves a huge pat on the back for being so persistent in our insistence that the great man be in the R&R HOF. Many think, Todd included, that the votes don't count and I certainly can see why they say that. But I also believe that he'd have never gotten in without them.This is his fan's victory as much as it is his. Great job you Runts !!
Thanks a lot. Was waiting for this one video. I love the fact that they had the guts to use his Berklee statement about being inducted... That's great.
A personal favorite for over 50 years, a giant. I love all his LPs but can listen to 'Something/Anything' or 'The Ballad of Todd Rundgren' on repeat all day. Long overdue recognition! Who's in charge of R&R HOF?
LONG LONG OVERDUE....Was kind of nice getting more snippets of his career and songs...Than some long winded Thank You's that really most people attending and watching don't give a hoot about.. Rundgren is still kind of an underground 💎 gem, and us Rundgrenites like it that way.... Shining Still😉
It has been so much fun to follow him throughout his career. We Gotta Get You a Woman was the first single/record I ever bought. Very meaningful that Patti Smith inducted him, given his admitted cringeworthy sexism towards her. Obviously all has been forgiven, and she knocked it out of the park. Nothing cements his independent, eccentric genius status more than the brief nod they've given here -- the literal least they could do.
Thank you for posting the full video. I just watched the same on HBO and they cut this down in half. They also cut out the audience cheering. Lesser influential acts got twice as much airtime. Not cool.
I doubt the RRHoF will ever publicize this video. TR was unbothered by his decades-late nomination, only spoke about it in terms of being happy on behalf of his fans, and skipped the ceremony in favor of a relatively nearby concert he could have easily re-scheduled. In other words: 100% appropriate and on-brand for the inimitable Todd Rundgren. Thank you for the years of music, Todd. (Thanks, too, for posting this, Thom! Might be our only chance to see it!)
They posted an edited version of the video on the RRHOF channel. I was happy to represent Rundgren Nation at the ceremony, and was able to see one of the final performances of Taylor Hawkins.
A joke. 20 years to late. Oh well. Wouldn’t be the first brilliant artist whose recognition was waaaaayyy to late. Thanks Patty. Thanks Todd- for all the inspiration- AND not showing up. No hall of fame for writers poets painters jazz or classical musicians- hall of fame- to borrow S Dan” the great scam”
SERIOUSLY I'M FROM "CLEVELAND ROCKS AND ROLLS OHIO" BORN AND RAISED HERE AND UNFORTUNATELY THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME IS WAS A😢NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT IT ONCE WAS AND CLEVELAND HAS TURNED INTO A TOTAL SHITT HOLE , TODD IS WAY TOO TALENTED AND AMAZINGLY GREAT ❤ FOR THE SHITT HOLE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!😮
And not before time. Long overdue but ultimatley pointless. The RnR HOF in waiting this long to honour Todd shows what a silly intitution it is. Inducting Depeche Mode before Kraftwerk says it all.

Goose pimples listening to Todd Rundgren’s catalog! The music resonates and touches the soul. He gets it! 🔥🐐

thank you for posting! great to hear from patti and take a walk down memory lane💗💫
I could listen to Patti Smith talk for hours. What an amazing woman - nice to see she was chosen to talk about Todd - an amazing man.
Todd Rundgren is truly a standout musician!

He was great in Rocky IV. I'm surprised they never mentioned that.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Thats Todd...he tells ya what he truly believes no B.S and thats why his fans loved him from the start.💖🙏✌💖
Todd!! Finally!
Classic!
Thank you for posting the full video. I just watched the same on HBO and they cut this down in half. They also cut out the audience cheering. Lesser influential acts got twice as much airtime. Not cool.
Foo Fighters on for almost an hour? Geeez. R & R Establishment.
wow they finally let him in!
Awesome congratulations 🎈
Thanks Thom! Wonderful!
In Todd we trust.
...a clip of Andy Partridge grumbling about him would not have been out of place in the montage...

Delco invented punk rock and its messenger was the runt !!! Congrats Todd
TODD IS GODD!!!
and no mention of his work with Laura Nyro!!!
On The Road to Utopia.
He's too cool and a genius to stoop so low as to attend this fake HOF scam...🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱

Yes, there was an appetite for Meat Loaf! It’s my favorite food.
"Hall Of Fames Are For Dead People." TR.

Yeah…..it’s a scam. Too much ass-kissing and pay offs. It’s as corrupt as the U.S. Congress!
Do you have an album in your collection by a band called The Nazz from 1967? I do! 😊❤
Very disappointing that, whatever the reason, he chose to not attend.
Proud he didn't go. The rock hall is a complete joke nowadays.
Hall of shame
