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.
Without You was by Badfinger? I didn't know that, always heard the Mariah Carey version.
I agree that Baby Blue only shines during the chorus. I was asking because The Beatles had said wonderful things about them, Paul McCartney had even written a song for them and produced it, but they had a tragic ending, that seemed strange to me.
And I thought ELO was the band of Olivia Newton-John (Xanadu) lol
I'll probably listen to them, they seem to be catchy but interesting at the same time, and they don't seem to be ultra experimental.
