On this day in music history:

The Very Best of Badfinger by Badfinger (2000)

Screamin’ and Hollerin’ the Blues by Charley Patton (2001)


The Very Best of Badfinger


by Badfinger,

was released on October 23, 2000.


One of my very favorite bands of the 70s.

The band's story is very sad, but their music will be with us forever.

My all-time favorite song is Baby Blue, but also enjoy Come and Get It, No Matter What, Day After Day, and Without You.

Give them a listen, or a re-listen. I promise you'll enjoy singing along as much as my husband and I do.

Track list:

No Matter What; Day After Day; Baby Blue; Name of the Game; Maybe Tomorrow; Come and Get It; Rock of All Ages; Carry on Til Tomorrow; Midnight Caller; We’re for the Dark; I’ll Be the One; Without You; I’d Die Babe; It’s Over; When I Say; Dennis; Lonely You; Love Time; Meanwhile Back at the Ranch / Should I Smoke.
