Something/Anything? (released in 1972) is Todd Rundgren's third solo album, and is often regarded to be the singer-songwriter's magnum opus. Rundgren played every instrument (as well as sang every part) on the first three sides of the double LP, while a band accompanies him on the fourth. The album was hailed as an impressively diverse pop rock masterpiece by most critics, while some felt it was considerably self-indulgent.^{[citation needed]}

In 2003, the album was ranked number 173 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. [1]
