Details Lead Performance: Todd Rundgren; Genre: Pop

Protest songs ain't what they used to be, but ''I Hate My Friggin' ISP'' is a nifty, if trivial, anthem for a generation. Just don't let that swell opener get your hopes up for a return to Todd Rundgren's '70s glory. One Long Year collects 10 tunes technophiliac Todd delivered through his Web service; it's probably more fun to download 'em individually than sit through a haphazard set that veers directly from an NIN homage to a Hawaiian remake of ''Bang on the Drum.''
