And then there were 2. After the devistating death of Pete Ham, 2 of Badfinger's remaining members regrouped to put out this CD, with a little help from their freinds, including Nicky Hopkins.Enjoy this great rocker.
In retrospect, this is a very sad song. When you think of all that happened to Badfinger and how some of the members left this world, a song about life and Carrying On is sad. But, this is another side of Badfinger, so I wanted the uninformed to hear it. And I think you'll be glad you did.
Chances are that a lot of people haven't heard much Badfinger from this CD, since it was after the Apple fiasco and after their radio friendly hits had diminished. However, there are some great tracks to be heard. This is one of them. When the album opens with a leadoff track like this, you know the rest is bound to be as good.If you didn't know... now you do.
This track closes out this superb CD. It has a chugin' beat for you to bob your head and tap your foot to.Amazon has this to say in part:...this album is reckoned by many Badfinger fans to be their best, but its commercial prospects were killed when it was pulled from stores shortly after release due to the band's ever-ongoing legal and financial struggles. A flat-out power pop classic that sho...
It's always a good day for Badfinger. For those who've never dug into their catalog, you're missing a lot. Here's a great track from their 1st release to get you rockin'.
For those who have not heard this, it starts out pretty mellow, but slowly builds over about 4 minutes to a pretty intense conclusion with about 3 minutes of extended guitar work to close out the track.

20/20 - Best power pop band of the 1980sChris Silagyi, Steve Allen, Ron Flynt, Mike Gallo on drumsI suppose there is a strong argument for calling The Beatles the first power pop band... although I think most people point to Beatle proteges, Apple Records' own Badfinger as the ultimate power pop band.Whatever... however... tonight in Nashville, I saw Badfinger's Joey Molland sing both Beatles a...
I'm going to be twenty-seven in a few days, an age that dozens of musicians have unfortunately died at. Of all of the musicians that never saw twenty-eight, the one who perhaps came closest was Pete Ham of Badfinger. With a baby on the way, a tapped bank account, the group's seventh album having been pulled from stores before it ever had a chance and the eighth lingering in musical purgatory,
‘There is no real Perfection. There'll be no perfect day…. There's no good revolution. Just power changing hands. There is no straight solution. Except to understand. So listen to my song, of life. You don't need a gun, or a knife. Successful conversation, will take you very far’. There is no real Perfection. There'll be no perfect man. Just peace is o
What benefits do regular Moggers get from the Mog network?As is my regular routine, I filter all posts to include just Mog members. Then I check on the pages of a few individual artists and band pages, in order to find out what other Moggers views are on new releases, live shows etc. Then I check the individual pages of the Mog's that I interact with.So I'm left wondering...what use is the Mog ...
i heard badfinger on the radio with their hit "come and get it" and that made me ask my mom to take me to see the film, the magic christian, which i didn't quite fully understand, being all of 11 or 12 years old. but ringo was in the movie, so that entertained me.badfinger did have a relationship with the beatles, and they were on apple records for a few albums. george harrison even played on...
Now that Virginia is minus one "macaca"-mumbler and our victory is well and truly complete, I would like to say: Hey, The American People! Nice goin'! My faith is finally restored. Now here's Hugh Laurie (long before his "House" days) to sing for us a happy little tune about this Great Land of Ours:
