    A fun memory of seeing one of the touring Beatlemania groups was when midway through the show, they broke into "No Matter What". Halfway through the song, "Paul" and "John" stopped playing and one said to the other "Wait a minute! We didn't do that, it's not our song!" The other said "What do you mean we didn't do it! Of course, we did!" They asked "George" and "Ringo" who couldn't agree if it was a Beatles song or not, so the band just decided to finish the song to great applause from the audience.

"Come and Get It" (written for them by Paul McCartney), "Better Days", "Without You" (became a big hit for Harry Nilsson), and "Baby Blue'. This band is begging for a biopic to be made about them.

    For me it's the power behind the guitar and bass. This is one of my favorite bands of all time. I agree that Baby Blue is the best of their songs. I loved the volume, it sounded more like listening live.

    Day After Day was the song you did before, not Day By Day. This was a huge hit for Badfinger in 1970. Very Beatlesque. Badfinger were very talented. Pete Ham and Tommy Evens were amazing song writers in the Lennon/McCartney tradition. They have some very beautiful songs.

    So screwed over by the band's Manager who got rich 2 band members killed themselves essentially broke. Great Band, sad, tragic story. I still have the 45" record I bought when this song came out, still have it in fact. 'Baby Blue; should be next. Have you heard 'Thunderclap Neuman' yet? Another good band from the same time. Cheers.

    Amber hits the nail on the head when she says it’s more powerful than the average pop song. Well, Badfinger was one of the architects of power pop.
    Sadly, Pete Ham (the lead singer) and Tom Evans would both commit suicide by hanging.
    As such their songs leave me with more melancholy than most.
    Perhaps their most melancholy song is “Dennis”.

    Great song. Their album "Straight Up" was the first album I listened to front to back as a kid. It has 'Day after Day', 'Baby Blue', and my favorite song on the album, 'Perfection'. You would find that a very pertinent song today if you would have reacted to it.

    One of the greatest tragedies in rock n roll was the story of Badfinger. Mal Evans brought them to Paul first then later they all worked with the other three Beatles who signed them to Apple. Stan Polley was the biggest villain in this story . Straight Up and Wish You Were Here we’re their best albums.

    What you guys have to understand is that you are listening to the live version. Badfinger wasn't a great live band. But they excelled in the studio with producers like George Harrison, Mel Evans, Tod Rundgren and Beatles engineers Geoff Emerick and producer Chis Thomas. They played on albums from Ringo, John Lennon and George Harrison of course.

    Badfinger was a British rock band that had a close association with The Beatles during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The band was signed to The Beatles' record label, Apple Records, in 1968, and their first single, "Come and Get It," was written and produced by Paul McCartney.
    The Beatles were fans of Badfinger's music and were instrumental in helping them gain exposure and success. George Harrison produced several of Badfinger's songs, including "Day After Day" and "Baby Blue," and the band often toured with or made appearances on stage with The Beatles.
    However, the relationship between Badfinger and The Beatles was not always easy. Apple Records was beset by financial and management problems, which had a negative impact on Badfinger's career. The band members were also caught up in the legal battles that surrounded the dissolution of The Beatles and the dispute over ownership of Apple Records.
    Tragically, two members of Badfinger, Pete Ham and Tom Evans, committed suicide in separate incidents, years after the band had broken up. The loss of these talented musicians was a reminder of the complex and challenging history that Badfinger shared with The Beatles.
    "No Matter What" is one of Badfinger's most popular songs, released in 1970. It was written by Badfinger guitarist and vocalist, Pete Ham, and produced by fellow band member Tom Evans and Apple Records head, Mal Evans.
    The song has been covered by numerous artists over the years, including Def Leppard, Cheap Trick, and Foo Fighters. It continues to be a popular and enduring classic rock song.

    You can't go wrong with Bad Finger's Baby Blue.
    I don't know how familiar you are with the show Breaking Bad (widely accepted as one of the best shows ever done) but this song ended the series and it was a very emotional scene.

    This is a rare, live version. One clue is the transposition of ".....nothing to see, nothing to say...." from the studio version.

    Saddest story in rock, they were ripped off and barred from even performing their own songs at the very height of their fame. Both the writers/lead singers committed suicide.
