In the introduction, I saw where you asked I share my favorites with you. Actually I have two. one is Bob Segarini www.bullseyerecords.com Gotta Have Pop! cd for a great introduction! Search youtube for Segarrini as well. Another is found on you tubes, Seb Agnello when he was with The Lords Of London at age 13 with a hit song Cornflakes and Ice Cream. Seb's www.turtleshellmusic.com has his previous music, some of it, but not his pop album but it has reviews and encylcopedia that tells of his Pop years. Both still playing and both fantastic guys as well as musicians! Hope you look them up!
I'm leaving now for SXSW in Austin right now, I look forward to meeting you all and hearing your favorites when I return! See ya'll monday!

I'm actually putting together a book, for next year sometime, about Todd's
studio work - both as an artist and as a producer, separate sections.
I'll second some of the people here who've voted for "Heaven's Falling", the
Cheap Trick version is so closely modelled on Todd's demo that Robin Zander
even articulates words the same way as Todd (by the way on that same album,
Nielsen wrote a very Todd like "I Can't Take It" - both of those songs are
SUPER AMAZING POWER POP PROTOTYPES!
I also think "Couldn't I Just Tell You" is the power pop song that launched
a thousand ships (bands?).
"A Dream Goes On Forever"
"Determination" (from Hermit, which I believe is also Dave Gregory of XTC's
favourite Todd disc... or so I have read).
"Real Man" great soul pop ballad.
"I Saw The Light"
"It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference"
here's some honourable mentions
the first verse of "Does Anybody Love You" is awesome then the sloppy drums
come in and it doesn't feel as cool anymore.
"Baby Let's Swing" with it's Laura Nyro-fied opening is a great trilogy.
And I always wished that he'd done "Something To Fall Back On" as a power
pop rock song and not an acapella (sampler) experiment.
Last thought, I must have said this a million times but does anyone else
wish that Daryl Hall would just record the Todd songbook?
His voice is perfect for Todd's material, more perfect than Todd's (sadly,
IMHO).
Nice to hear some Todd talk around here.
