In the States Day After Day is (was?) an AOR staple and Without You is (was?) an AM radio staple but it was a cover of their version by Harry Nilsson that took off. Even Baby Blue really only shines during the chorus.

In my opinion, Ms. Rigby, Badfinger is an unrewarding rabbit hole.

ELO on the other hand have lots of great songs. I only knew their hits until we got into a big discussion about them on here a couple years back and I was very surprised by how much more they had to offer.

Trollheart (who posted above) and Ori are our go-to experts.
