Yeah, I'm sorry.  I wasn't clear at all.  I meant Utopia not Todd.  His '70s
stuff is legend.

"A wizard a true star" is my favorite TR album ever. 
I think Whit was referring to early Utopia albums, not solo Todd albums. 
The "Todd" album you mentioned hints at the coming of Utopia in the song
"International Feel". 
  "Wait another year Utopia is here".
Rick ,I loved your  "grand slam" reference to Todd's incredible melodies.
