A Very Legendary Seventies Three Tune Tuesday Producer Spotlight With Todd Rundgren Produced Tunes 🎸 Meatloaf! New York Dolls! & Badfinger! + Bonus Tune From 1999 Punk Rock Recording Session! 💿 & Extra Bonus From Cheap Trick!

I’ve been doing “Producer Spotlight” theme for about ten weeks every Three Tune Tuesday, picking only tunes from same producer each post. Mostly focusing on the nineties and 2000’s. Today I pick a legendary seventies producer and all three picks are from the seventies besides the bonus jam. The legendary Todd Rundgren produced multiple heavy hitters in the seventies and kinda disappears during much of the eighties & nineties from producing to do his own solo music. He reappeared in 1999 to produce legendary punk band Bad Religions 2000 album The New America which was kind of the bands slower melodic record. That will be my bonus tune. My main three are all legends! Badfinger,New York Dolls & Meatloaf! Enjoy!!! 🎸

Band - Badfinger
Song - Baby Blue
Album - Strait Up (1971)

Band - New York Dolls
Song - Personality Crisis
Album - New York Dolls (1973)

For my bonus tune I go 23 years into the future from the most recent above in 1977!
