I remeber them! I still have their first elpee, which is very very good indeed. We never quite bought 'it's really the Beatles' rumors; we just enjoyed their music. Did y'all know that Todd Rundgren can sound like the Beatles when he wants to? And so can that other guy; umm Jeff Lynne. Yeah, that guy too
Anyways thanks for the cool Badfinger vids. My old 3-pc band did No Matter What; unfortunately I lacked the Leslie, but we made it work anyways. That whole era of pre-synth power pop got the short end of the stick when it came to radio programming... I loved the style: take melodic Beatles-type pop gems, and crank up the guitars. Badfinger. Dwight Twilley. Raspberries. Cheap Trick. Still one of my favorite musical eras...
