Something/Anything? is the third album by American musician Todd Rundgren, released in February 1972. * * * * Three quarters of the album was recorded in the studio with Rundgren playing all instruments and singing all vocals, as well as being the producer. The final quarter contained a number of tracks recorded live in the studio without any overdubs, save for a short snippet of archive recordings from the 1960s. By the time Rundgren started recording the album, he had already achieved commercial success as a solo artist and producer, and this increased his self-confidence. He had also become dissatisfied with other musicians playing on his recordings, recalling, "I'd never played drums or bass before, though I would hector those that did." This led him to decide to record the entire album by himself using multi-tracking. He wrote the material for the album at a prolific rate. He attributed his productivity to Ritalin and cannabis, stating that the drugs "caused me to crank out songs at an incredible pace." He found some of the other songs quick to write, too, noting "they were all basically starting out with C Major 7th, and I'd start moving my hand around in predictable patterns until a song came out." * * * * * According to Encyclopedia of Popular Music writer Colin Larkin, the album has since been "rightly regarded as one of the landmark releases of the early 70s". * * * * * Something/Anything? later attracted critical acclaim as one of the most significant records of the 1970s. In 2003, the album was ranked number 173 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, maintaining the rating in a 2012 revised list. * * * * * #vinylgirl #vinylbrotherhood #recordaddict #dailyhifi #vinylalbum #recordlife #vinylrecordart #audiophile #recordhead #vinyljunkies #recordcollectionpost #ilovevinyl #cratedigging #colouredvinyl #vinylgen_feature #rarevinyl https://www.instagram.com/p/CC_BVoOpJ9F/?igshid=ovsn9ivswa5a
