Badfinger Artist Snapshot:

Welsh quartet Badfinger was discovered by the Beatles' Apple Records label, and had their first big hit with a song given to them by Paul McCartney. From 1968-1975 the group's melodic power-pop sound earned them several international hit singles, including "No Matter What," "Come and Get It," and "Day After Day." Although the band is now regarded as a heavy influence on multiple generations of power pop bands and songwriters, they were beset, in their heyday, by legal and financial troubles, as well as bouts with clinical depression and, eventually, the suicide of two members.

Easily one of pop music's greatest would-be success stories and most well-known tragedies, Beatles proteges Badfinger wrote some of the definitive tunes of the power-pop era. There is considerably more to the story of Badfinger than the 18 tracks on this concise best-of would have it, yet as a primer on this most bittersweet of bands, it certainly does its job. Included here is the Paul McCartney-penned hit single "Come and Get It," the power-pop gem "No Matter What," the pensive "Day After Day," and "Without You," arguably the band's biggest hit, as it would prove to be a smash for both Harry Nilsson and, decades later, Mariah Carey. That such wonderful music didn't prevent the band members from ending up destitute and miserable only adds to the songs' emotional impact. THE VERY BEST is an excellent introduction to Badfinger, but once a taste has been had, a deeper investigation is essential.
