One of the most unappreciated 70's songs ever.

Or a band with more unrealized potential.

Their best album, Straight Up. Baby Blue is one of the great power pop songs of all time.

One of my favorite songs of all time along with Baby Blue.

They should have gone farther. Weren’t two of the original members dead by 1980?

Let’s just say, they don’t write and play/perform/record songs like this anymore.

I’m only a casual fan of Badfinger. The only two songs I know are Come and Get It and Day After Day.

Didn’t the Beatles kind of help them out? I seem to remember something like that.

The producer: Todd Rundgren, was one of my favorite songwriters and performers during that era. Todd never achieved the level of widespread fame he deserved, one reason being he loved to change his style from album to album. Not easy to market a performer like that. Todd has become more Liberal as he ages, highly intolerant of anything conservative. In spite of all that, Todd Rundgren will always be a Wizard and a True Star.
