Episode description
Joe and Dave discuss the tragic story of Badfinger, power pop legends who were signed to The Beatles' Apple label and who worked closely with Paul and George (as well as Todd Rundgren). The influence of the band can still be heard today in the music of bands like Teenage Fanclub, Sloan, The New Pornographers, etc. Each Badfinger album is dissected and rated.
