- Day After Day (1971) With its unassailable melody, plaintive vocals and lovestruck sentiment, this is Pete Ham at his aching best. Producer George Harrison elevates things further with a wonderful slide solo, while the mighty Leon Russell adds piano.
- Baby Blue (1971) Initially the second single lifted from the Todd Rundgren-produced Straight Up, Baby Blue is Pete Ham’s passionate ode to Dixie Armstrong, whom he became involved with during Badfinger’s final tour of the US.
- Come And Get It (1970) Paul McCartney demo’d this infectious nugget during the sessions for Abbey Road in July 1969. When it came to supplying songs for the soundtrack of The Magic Christian (starring Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr), the Beatle took the producer’s chair and donated it to Badfinger, who added lustrous three-part harmonies.
- No Matter What (1970) A chunky guitar motif and rich melody form the backbone of one of Badfinger’s most anthemic tunes, a declaration of loyalty and affection with a Beatlesy middle eight and the kind of hook that became synonymous with the soulful power pop of Big Star and The Raspberries.

- 'Come and Get It' From: 'Magic Christian Music' (1970) Badfinger's debut album isn't really a soundtrack to the 1969 comedy that starred Ringo Starr. Rather, it's an introduction to the newly renamed group that used to be the Iveys (see No. 7 on our list of the Top 10 Badfinger Songs) and whose old songs make up the bulk of this LP.
- 'Day After Day' From: 'Straight Up' (1971) Besides, obviously, the Beatles and their solo careers, Badfinger were a main priority at Apple. They were one of the first groups signed to the label, and Paul McCartney wrote and produced their breakthrough single, 'Come and Get It.'
- 'No Matter What' From: 'No Dice' (1970) Every aspiring power-pop band should listen to 'No Matter What' to hear how it's done. Badfinger's second single under their new name, and second straight Top 10, features one of pop's all-time mightiest hooks.
- 'Without You' From: 'No Dice' (1970) Nilsson took 'Without You' to No. 1 in 1971, but Badfinger recorded the song a year earlier on their second album, 'No Dice.'
