with no way back." Retrospectively, Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote for AllMusic: "These are some major additions to his catalog, but the experiments and the excesses are too tedious to make Todd a necessary listen for anyone but the devoted. But for those listeners, the gems make the rough riding worthwhile." Nicholas Olivier, writing in The Rough Guide to Rock (2003), was less favorable: "One of the dullest double albums ever made, it covered a Gilbert And Sullivan song alongside a 3000-strong chorus for 'Sons of 1984', and suggested our hero was taking himself far too seriously." XTC guitarist Dave Gregory became a lifelong Rundgren fan after hearing "The Last Ride" on BBC Radio. As he remembered: "I loved the maverick spirit of the guy. ... He was talented enough to stick a finger up to the industry and say 'This is my record – take it or leave it.'" "Izzat Love?" was prominently sampled in Neon Indian's "Deadbeat Summer" (2009), while both "The Spark of Life" and "An Elpee's Worth of Toons" were sampled in Charli XCX's "So Far Away" (2013). In 2000, Todd was voted number 1000 in the third edition of Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums. Live performances In 2010, Rundgren performed Todd and his 1981 album Healing live for the first time. A large video display and lasers were on display throughout the shows with Rundgren and the band dressed in psychedelic costumes.
