Rundgren/Utopia Filter: Two Obscure Gems. Emergency Splashdown. Umbrella Man.
"Emergency Splashdown" appeared on Roger Powell's second solo album, but from this performance, it looks like it was performed live by Utopia. "Umbrella Man" is a Kasim song that apparently was the "other side" of the "Set Me Free" 45. Enjoy.

Nice music videos
I disagree. However, I concur with your second point.

Utopia! Wonderful! I always felt they were very much underrated and overlooked. My favorite song of theirs is Libertine, and this live version on YouTube is a good one.

The problem with being as productive as Todd Rundgren was (is), is that the number of great, great songs, fabulous songs, that soar, and inspirit and excite, are balanced by an almost equal number of truly appalling, self-indulgent, dull pointless meandering songs. You can't believe it's all the same guy. But I guess it's like anything. You have to take the good with the bad (some of it really bad). And pop is fortunate to have had Rundgren working full-time so long as he has.
