Badfinger IS timeless.

[curtmath]

Wondering why this guitar solo doesn't seem to rank anywhere on any list for best guitar solos.

@randlec6 If you count "Maybe Tomorrow" - an album released by Badfinger, yet under the name "The Iveys", that brings the number to 10. Maybe Tomorrow, Magic Christian Music, No Dice, Straight Up, Ass, Badfinger, Wish You Were Here, Head First, Airwaves, and Say No More. Then, there are other albums (best ofs, live releases, and bootlegs) that aren't counted here.

@pindowskivich Could you tell me how many Badfinger LP's were made? I have only one, No Dice and love it. I had Straight Up on 8 track once but it died along time ago with all the rest. I love Badfinger! Great band!!

@curtmath That one is easy. The people who make up the rankings have never listened to anything that hasn't been played endlessly on the radio. If they had ever taken the time to do so, The top 100 we see year after year in Rolling Stone would look a lot different. Pete Ham was legendary, but will never get any credit from these fools. I own more Badfinger albums than Clapton, if that means anything.

OMG!!! I have been huge purveyor of British Rock from this era, and I have never heard this song before until last night!!!!!!!! While I can kick myself for missing out all these years, I actually this it is great I discovered it now. I can now dig and find every Badfinger album and rejoice hearing new "old" music. Sometimes you can think you've "heard it all," and then you get your ass kicked like this. It's great....

Always been one of my Favorites!!!!!!

I lived through their era, I loved this band, I cannot listen to this song without crying and getting suicidal, what happened to them is a crime!

After listening to this I wonder why one of his best friends and one of the people that he looked up to the most "George Harrison" didnt ask him to play one of the lead guitar for the Concert for Bangladesh. he just played an acoustic for the concert. Surprising cause anyone knows that George always gave anyone their chance to shine unlike Paul and John with their egos.

Good lord... never heard this before... This solo is Duane Allman/Hendrix/Gilmour worthy.

[markwoodnyusa]

my God what the world was robbed of!!

[TheRealMusicStation]

This guitar solo blows me away. David Gilmour worthy.
