Template:Music ratings The Ever Popular Tortured Artist Effect is Todd Rundgren's tenth studio album, released in December 1982. The album is a return to the pop sound for which Rundgren is generally most lauded by critics. Considering it a contractual obligation, he spent little time working on Tortured Artist (hence the title). However, the album was generally well-received, and Rundgren scored a hit with the novelty song "Bang the Drum All Day".

The album was also his last official release with Bearsville Records.
