They had one of the most tragic stories in all of classic rock histories and I don’t want them to be forgotten. No doubt did these songs have an influence on the power pop subgenre. These songs are so catchy and you’ll want to play them on repeat. They had international success with 3 top 10 singles in the US: “Come and Get It”, “No Matter What”, and “Day After Day” and a top 20 with “Baby Blue”. Would be great to see more Welsh representation at the Rock Hall and who better than Badfinger? They had The Beatles seal of approval and were signed to their label, Apple Records – so much promise early on! People thought they would be the next Beatles with their power pop sound. But a few Welsh born members of rock bands based in England and the US have made it in there like John Cale of The Velvet Underground and Roger Glover of Deep Purple. There has never been a Welsh rock band inducted into the Rock Hall. Why? One of the best known artists from Wales. Just appreciating 20 more artists and their contributions to classic rock and music as a whole. So without further ado, here’s another 20 artists! Once again, no order besides alphabetical and no ranking. I’ve gotten requests to make another one of these posts and I’ve been meaning to make another one – with emphasis on musicians who never got a single nomination. Things have changed since writing that post, like T Rex finally being inducted and a few inclusions on the list being nominated.
A while back I wrote a blog post about musicians who I think deserve to be in the Rock Hall, but aren’t.
