Todd is a double album by Todd Rundgren, released in 1974. It was an expansion of his experimentation on A Wizard, A True Star. It showed his growing interest in the synthesizer, and its ability to expand the textures of rock music. Much of the album is intensely experimental. However, it is not without its share of pop songs. Todd also tinkers with the synth heavy progressive sound he would take to an extreme with his later band Utopia.
