There two critically acclaimed yet under-the-radar singer-songwriters that I consider my biggest musical influences: Mr. Larry Norman, and Mr. Todd Rundgren.

Yikes Toddy !

As Studio99Nashua commented above so nicely, the REAL genius of Todd's harmonic sensibilities lie in his use of slash chords/hybrids, utilizing a chord with a different root. Songs such as Magic Dragon Theater, Compassion, Love Is the Answer, Don't You Ever Learn are all stellar, singular examples of this. No other pop artist of the 20th century uses voicings/implications in quite this way.

@gdooz What's amazing is he's been this singer for DECADES. Since the 70s. He's been in this business for roughly 45 years. And he STILL sounds like this! Jay Black of Jay and the Americans can still sing "Cara Mia," but guys like that are the exception, not the rule.

Let's face it... there is a lot of God in Todd.

Genius. Wonderful. Aren't we lucky to have him in our time. Walking amongst us.

I think Todd might have some sensitivities about Carole King, as many called him "the male Carole King" early in his career.
What he doesn't mention here is that he doesn't just stop with 7th chords. His true specialty is 7th chords that are hybrids/compounds.
I.e., C Maj7/D or F Maj7 over G. The bass note isn't even present anywhere in the spelling of the original seventh chord.
That's where the Bacharach influence really comes in.
