For those who appreciate the music of the 70's.

I just voted for DS for R&R HOF.

Interesting group. And there is a taste of Dire Straits in their style. I see they toured with Nightwish, perhaps when the Great Tarja was performing. What a gal.

Badfinger was signed to the Bearles’ Apple Records. I know Paul contributed some harmony vocals on some songs.

No, he did not. He did write and produce their first single, “Come and Get It,” though, and George produced some of their album “Straight Up.”

Mark Knopfler ping...

Thanks for the link, I’ll listen to that now.

“Pain” is the only song of their that I listen to and I know nothing about them in general, but that song I love.

[IndispensableDestiny]

“Day After Day” was our wedding song.

[Dr. Sivana]

“No Matter What” is an archetypal piece of Power Pop, with a great bridge.

[TianaHighrider]

Beautiful song. Always loved it.

[Bodleian_Girl]

Ok, I listened.

Then I had to immediately go and listen to Duane Allman & Cowboy to clear my head!

Guess I’m too old for the new stuff.

These guys served as one of the backing groups for George Harrison’s first solo album “All Things Must Pass”. The solo guitar work sounds like George.

Joey Molland had an uncanny resemblance to Paul McCartney.

Pretty good band, I have all their albums.

[iowamark]

great playlist!

[BenLurkin]

Great tune!

[InterceptPoint]

Trust me. I’m too old as well. But Tarja is such a talent that I’m willing to overlook the “newness” of the Nightwish style to listen to her.

Personally I believe popular music peaked sometime in about the mid-80s and has never recovered. But given that, there will always be musicians who have the talent to rise above the crowd. But I will admit that chasing down those chosen few on YouTube can be a painful experience - a huge wheat-chaff Problem.

One of the best endings to a show in TV history, IMHO. That song helped make it happen.

Straight Up is without a doubt the best album released on Apple not by the Beatles or a Beatle

Their manager screwed them over big time. A real tragedy and they ended up with nothing after 5 years of success. Suicide(s) soon followed.

Sweet Tuesday Morning was always one of my favorites of theirs

I was just listening to No Matter What

Along with Dancing in the Moonlight, it's caught me in the Spotlight and Jailbreak, both by Thin Lizzy

[Bodleian_Girl]

Agree on the mid 80’s things. I have discovered that I like a few songs here and that past that. But I never even turn the radio on any longer.

Not for music anyway!

Two people I thought about pinging to this thread and #29, but didn’t. “You’re presuming they’ll be interested, don’t do it.”

Made my post, came back later to read through, and there you both were anyway. :-)

Here's another great one from the same era that most people have forgotten about, because it was from a One Hit Wonder ---

Simone - by Henry Gross

Or actually a 2-hit wonder. His "Shannon" was popular on the radio, but Simone's my favorite.

And backing up into the late 60s, one of the all time greatest rock songs IMHO -
