When I started multi-track recording (in analog days) Todd Rundgren's albums were such a great inspiration because he produced great music where he played and produced everything; some argued that it gave his music great cohesion.
Anyone think of anyone else who did/ does that?

Roberto Ferrante (He didn't sing on the tracks but afaik the rest was him)
The Pineapples track may have been done with not much more than a Linn, Korg Poly 6 and a multitrack recorder with the keyboard parts played in live but I could be mistaken and don't have more authoritative info.

Re: Inspired by Todd Rundgren & who else?
The other obvious pioneer is Mike Oldfield. What is interesting about Todd Rundgren is that he played all the parts of a band so well.
I agree about Roy Wood, I remember his video on Top of The Pops in the UK (I think for Dear Elaine) and the media making quite a big thing about it at the time.
