I was looking up and down the list and wondered "why wasnt there any Todd Rundgren"? This is one of my all-time favorites from him at his creative peak. Although sometimes his ego and additudes about the music business (and fans) gets in the way of me enjoying his music, on this track he keeps his ego in check and uses his melodic (and commercial) smarts to make this one of this greatest ballads.

This is just an wonderful track, along with a amazing Stevie Wonder meets Brian Wilson all synth production. Also check the solo piano version on his "Back to The Bars" 2-CD set.

I first played this back in 1980 when I worked at my college radio station, its one of those records that jumped out of the speakers and stunned me.

Even though I have become a huge Finn Brothers (solo, together and Crowded House) this is one track I always keep coming back to. Its a little dated sounding with all those synths, but has such killer hooks and lyrics about being parinoid about your lover...just brilliant Kiwi Pop!
