Come and Get-the Badfinger tourney!!

[SAT-I need more room!!]

A Ken suggestion, of course! (Actually, I brought it up to him and he said, "Good idea!" )

Actually Badfinger is a strange case. All 4 of their big hits still get regular play on classic rock and oldies stations, plus many know their original version of Without You. Compare them to Buffalo Springfield who most stations only play For What it's Worth. If you have a REALLY good station, they may play Rock and Roll Woman and Mr. Soul. Yet it seems like most people know MORE by BS than by Badfinger!

I'm thinking it's because Retrospective was such a big album, so many people have it, as opposed to Badfinger who really didn't have a collection of any kind until recent years. Is that the case?

Anyway..........I hope most of you guys know most of these!

[Laura--I wuv u all :)]

Love 'em, but don't know all the songs! I'll try, though...

Group 1
Without You (actually I think I've heard everyone's version BUT theirs--it's a good song, though)

Group 2
Baby Blue

Group 3
Day After Day

Group 4
pass

Sorry if my choices are coming off as too predictable, but I gotta go with what I know here! (I do know "Perfection", which is sort of semi-obscure...)

[Pete70s]

Group 1
Without You (not big on the song in any form, but their version is best!)

Group 2
Baby Blue

Group 3
Day After Day

Group 4
Carry on 'Til Tomorrow

"...plus many know their original version of Without Out. "


Not only do I NOT know their original version of Without Out - I don't know any cover versions either!


I can't believe we haven't done a Badfinger tournament yet.

Looking at this first group, this is going to be tough for me.

Group 1
Meanwhile Back at the Ranch/Should I Smoke
(Without You suffers for me because of the Heard It First Syndrome - despite it being the original, I heard Nilsson's version first.)

Group 2
It's Over
(Just by a whisker - these are two of my faves)

Group 3
Day After Day

Group 4
Name of the Game
(VERY tough choice!)
