Re: Badfinger - Wish You Were Here (1974)
It's a weaker song, but it's got a Fender Rhodes on it.
And it has a casual confidence about it that puts me at rest.

It does somehow smack of a minor band member's inp*t.

That didn't quite work, can they pull it out with the other half of this double bill?

So hard to dislike any of these songs.

It is over.
That was all fab, filled with energy, choons and great playing, one of the most enervating albums we've done.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it.

Re: Badfinger - Wish You Were Here (1974)
Hmm.. Game of two halves Trevor, side one, and the first track of side two were great, then a minor short song, which is fine, then ends with a wimper.
Still, it's getting 4★ out of 5. Is one of the better ones we've had so far.
As I say, never heard 'em before, And no where near as B*atles/W*ngish as I expected, although they're obviously fans of P*ul McC*ntney, and that other lot.
Almost like a better post Roy Wood ELO

Anyway, despite the many many and ample opportunities to say "this song is a rip off of this or that song" I found the record to be genuinely wonderful, charming, groovy and elegant, loving pastiche of it's influences...
