The credo on Todd Rundgrens current tour, according to an entourage member, is: ''You cant get on the bus unless you sing.''

There are, however, exceptions.

''Well, weve got two stage guys who dont have to sing,'' Rundgren said from his Cleveland hotel room. ''And the bus driver, I haven`t auditioned him yet. But if he can sing. . . .''

Singing is such a big deal because Rundgren and his group of 11 vocalists are out supporting his latest album, ''A Cappella.'' It`s pretty much what the title indicates: an all-vocal record, with Rundgren doing all the singing and using an Emulator, a computerized keyboard instrument, to synthesize his voice into the sounds of various instruments.
