For your pleasure, the second album

Which also has "Editions of You" on it -- for my buck, the band's finest moment.

Er... I thought I'd feel better getting it out in the open, but now I just feel kind of soiled

Guess what, that's more than just a feeling you have.

"Day After Day" by Badfinger.

I actually purchased a greatest hits of Badfinger CD many years ago thinking that I really loved this one song of theirs for some reason, so there had to be one or two other good songs.

I was wrong.

"Baby Blue"?

At least.

Badfinger are a fine, fine band. They do not belong on this list.

Badfinger just sounds like a really bad substitute teacher version of the Beatles to me, for the most part. Shit, didn't Paul McCartney write a lot of their songs?

And these were songs that probably didn't even make it past the lofty standards of WINGS, people.

I suppose I haven't listened to very much of that CD since about 1997, when I was 19 and bought it. If I ever get really bored I'll give it another whirl. But until that day, I still hold to my convictions that Badfinger wrote one and only one great song. "Day After Day" is that song.

That would be Thin Lizzy. As perhaps the finest hard rock band of the 1970's, they have no place in this thread. They have at least five full albums worth of material that rival any of their heavy hitting brethren. I'll take Lizzy over Zeppelin, Queen, Alice, even Humble Pie!--just about anybody except maybe Sabbath, AC/DC, and Skynyrd.

Hmmm. I don't know, Thin--maybe at the fucking JAIL?
