Send us a message, so we know what you're thinking!Just because you're successful doesn't mean everyone likes you.  In fact, success can often draw criticisms that might not be given to other performers.  In Australia, we call that the “Tall Poppy Syndrome”, where people look for reasons to bring successful people down! We look at some criticisms (not by us - mainly!), of highly successful artists and try to find a reason for them.    This month seems to have a host of rock star deaths!  In Knockin' on Heaven's Door, we mourn the passing of David Lynn Thomas of post-punk group Pere Ubu; Drew Zingg, an American blues and soul guitarist, best known for work with Steely Dan and Boz Scaggs; Joey Molland from Badfinger, and Richard Chamberlain, of Dr Kildare, Shōgun & The Thorn Birds.   Our “Album You Must Hear before You Die” is Bob Marley and the Wailers' “Catch a Fire”, a landmark album that established reggae as a musical force, influencing such artists as The Clash, The Police, UB40 and Eric Clapton.  Enjoy!! References:  “Tall Poppy Syndrome”, Morrissey, “We Hate it When our Friends Become Successful”, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, YouTube, “Classic Album Review”, Baz, Barry Robinson, “The 10 Worst Bands in the World”, The Doors, Jim Morrison, Patti Smith, Rob Younger, Robbie Krieger, Ray Manzarek, Doors' Miami concert – January 1969, The Eagles, Pink Floyd, “Hell Freezes Over”, Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh, Guns'n'Roses, Axl Rose, Slash, Motley Crue, Shakespeare - “thankless child”, U2, Achtung Baby, “With or Without You”, Adam Clayton's private parts, “Days of Innocence”, REM, Coldplay, “music for estate agents”, Oasis, Gallagher brothers, Sex Pistols, Black Sabbath, Rolling Stones, “The Rest is History”, Frank Zappa, “Billy the Mountain”, “Don't You Eat the Yellow Snow”, PMRC – Parents Moral Research Centre, Tipper Gore, Iggy Pop & The Stooges, Alice Cooper, Kiss, Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl  Our email: MickandthePhatman@Gmail.com  Playlist – The music we talked about in this episode  Homer singing Kiss  Led Zeppelin's light fingers  Classic Album Reviews:  The Ten Worst Bands Ever

Fastball started recording their first album 30 years ago, and in 1998 they released their second album that propelled them to rock stardom. They sold over a million albums, they were nominated for two grammy's, and were constantly on MTV. From then on Fastball has been touring the world playing their music. This summer they're touring with Barenaked Ladies, Guster and Sugar Ray, and Miles Zuniga was nice enough to stop by the show! Miles and Doc talk about inspirations like Badfinger and AC/DC, a chance meeting with Gregg Allman, starting Fastball, skyrocketing in popularity, going on a lot of trips in 2025, the upcoming tour and much much more!

Rather than debating who put whose chocolate in which peanut butter, we see the results of someone really knowing what to do with some good ingredients. Without You, originally by Badfinger, covered by Harry Nilsson.  Outro music is Whiter Shade of Pale, by Procul Harum. 

Straight Up es el tercer álbum de la banda de rock británica Badfinger, lanzado en diciembre de 1971 en los Estados Unidos y en febrero de 1972 en Gran Bretaña. Publicado en el sello discográfico de Apple de los Beatles, incluye los exitosos singles "Day After Day" y "Baby Blue", y el popularmente conocido "Name of the Game", todos ellos escritos por el cantante y guitarrista Pete Ham. El álbum marcó un alejamiento del sonido más roquero de los lanzamientos anteriores de Badfinger, en parte como resultado de la intervención de Apple Records con respecto a la dirección musical de la banda. Aunque Straight Up recibió una respuesta mixta de los críticos en el lanzamiento, muchos críticos ahora lo consideran como el mejor álbum de la banda. El crítico de Rolling Stone, David Fricke, se ha referido a él como el "ápice del power pop de Badfinger".

Beatle proteges Badfinger were an Apple band that simultaneously produced some of the finest pop/rock of their era while beset by management malfeasance leading directly to their decimation by suicide. It was fifty years ago that Pete Ham, their songwriter responsible for “No Matter What,” “Day After Day” and “Baby Blue” and co-writer with Tommy Evans of “Without You” took his life at 27. Only a few months before, he and the band recorded one final album (at Apple Studios), Head First. Multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter Bob Jackson, the group's newest addition, was fully on board with the project, which went unreleased at the time but through his determination, was tracked down and fully realized in late 2024. In this conversation, Bob discusses his tenure in the band alongside Pete, Tommy, Mike Gibbins and the late Joey Molland, as well as his work with them through the years that followed as well as the lasting impact of the two tragedies.

Afgelopen weekoverleed Joey Molland, de gitarist van Badfinger. Met zijn heengaan is er geen lid meer over van de band. Badfinger had een heel grote band geweest kunnen zijn. De band schreef geweldige liedjes, maar werd achtervolgd door pech en ongeluk en had een crimineel als manager die de kluit op een monstrueuze manier belazerde. Pete Ham en Tom Evans van die groep schreven monsterhit 'Without You', nummer 1 voor Harry Nilsson en later Mariah Carey. Normaal genoeg voor een rustige oude dag, maar die was Ham en Evans niet gegund. Dit is het trieste verhaal van Badfinger.

Rod Stewart et Jack White ont réagi au clash Zelenski / Trump en soulignant leur soutien aux Ukrainiens. Attendu sur la scène, mais fidèle à lui-même, le légendaire chanteur Bob Dylan a snobé la cérémonie des Oscars 2025. The Cure, l'un des grands favoris des BRIT Awards 2025, avec trois nominations majeures : Meilleur Groupe, Meilleur Acte Rock/Alternatif et Album de l'Année pour Songs of A Lost World, est reparti les mains vides, déclenchant une vague de frustration chez ses fans. Joey Molland, l'ultime survivant du line-up classique de Badfinger et ami des Beatles, est décédé ce samedi 1er mars à l'âge de 77 ans. R.E.M. avait promis qu'ils ne rejoueraient plus jamais ensemble, pourtant Michael Stipe et sa bande ont brisé leur serment le temps d'un instant magique lors d'une première véritable réunion scénique, après plus de 15 ans, en rejoignant Michael Shannon et Jason Narducy sur scène au 40 Watt Club d'Athens, en Géorgie.

For this months episode we head back to 1971 for a batch of epicly long prog epics, peppered with the occasional bit of folk rock, powerpop, metal, jazz, and afrobeat. Our longest playlist yet, and lots of fun along the way! We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over to Colin's wife Helen, who put the playlists together and distributed them so we were each given a playlist of the 20 songs from the other two hosts, along with our own 10. We then ranked the playlists in order of preference and sent them back to Helen, who totalled up the points and worked out the order.She also joined us on the episode to read out the countdown, which we found out as we recorded so all reactions are genuine.Now, admittedly, in parts we're a little bit brutal to some of the songs in the list as we're three separate people with differing music tastes, but please remember that to be in this episode at all the songs have to have been in one of our top 10's of that year.Bands featured in this episode include (In alphabetical order, no spoilers here!) - Badfinger, The Beach Boys, Black Sabbath, David Bowie, Can, Caravan, Neil Diamond, Nick Drake, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Flower Travelin' Band, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Focus, Hampton Grease Band, Jimi Hendrix, The Hollies, Billy Joel, King Crimson, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Nazz, Harry Nilsson, The Norman Haines Band, Osibisa, Pink FLoyd, The Rolling Stones, Pharoah Sanders, Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood, Stephen Stills, Traffic, Van Der Graaf Generator & The WhoFind all songs in alphabetical order here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/36GaQbyuHTepSEAQkXubCN?si=24673026411f4e51Find our We Dig Music Pollwinners Party playlist (featuring all of the winning songs up until now) here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/45zfDHo8zm6VqrvoEQSt3z?si=Ivt0oMj6SmitimvumYfFrQIf you want to listen to megalength playlists of all the songs we've individually picked since we started doing best of the year episodes (which need updating but I plan on doing them over the next few months or so), you can listen to Colin's here – https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5x3Vy5Jry2IxG9JNOtabRT?si=HhcVKRCtRhWCK1KucyrDdgIan's here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2H0hnxe6WX50QNQdlfRH5T?si=XmEjnRqISNqDwi30p1uLqAand Tracey's here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2p3K0n8dKhjHb2nKBSYnKi?si=7a-cyDvSSuugdV1m5md9NwThe playlist of 20 songs from the other two hosts was scored as usual, our favourite song got 20 points, counting down incrementally to our least favourite which got 1 point. The scoring of our own list of 10 is now slightly more complicated in order to give a truer level of points to our own favourites. So rather than them only being able to score as many points as our 10th favourite in the other list, the points in our own list were distributed as follows -1st place - 20 points2nd place - 18 points3rd place – 16 points4th place – 14 points5th place – 12 points6th place – 9 points7th place – 7 points8th place – 5 points9th place – 3 points10th place -1 pointHosts - Ian Clarke, Colin Jackson-Brown & Tracey BGuest starring Helen Jackson-Brown.Playlist compiling/distributing – Helen Jackson-BrownRecorded/Edited/Mixed/Original Music by Colin Jackson-Brown for We Dig PodcastsThanks to Peter Latimer for help with the scoring system.Part of the We Dig Podcasts network along with Free With This Months Issue & Pick A Disc.Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/wedigmusic.bsky.socialInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wedigmusicpcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/wedigpusicpcast/Find our other episodes & podcasts at www.wedigpodcasts.com

From his early days with the psychedelic rock band Nazz to his groundbreaking solo career and innovative work with Utopia, Rundgren has continually redefined what it means to be an artist. His work as a singer, songwriter, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist has left an indelible mark on rock, pop, progressive, and experimental music. In this in-depth feature, we explore the highs and lows of his storied career, highlighting his unique blend of catchy melodies, technical expertise, and bold experimentation that have made him a lasting icon in the music industry.Born into an era of musical revolution, Todd Rundgren's early years were shaped by the sounds of the 60s. Embracing the counterculture movement, he found his first taste of musical success with Nazz, where he served as the lead guitarist and primary songwriter, crafting songs that were both innovative and accessible. Tracks such as “Open My Eyes” and “Hello It's Me.” Rundgren's leap from band member to solo superstar came in the early 70s. It was the seminal album Something/Anything? that truly set him apart. It featured enduring hits like “I Saw the Light” and a reimagined version of “Hello It's Me,” songs that still resonate with fans today. The album was celebrated for its innovative production techniques and intricate arrangements. Never content to follow the status quo, Todd Rundgren has always been driven by a desire to experiment. His subsequent albums are celebrated as landmarks of avant-garde music production. He became one of the pioneers of home recording technology, demonstrating that innovative music could be produced outside the confines of a traditional studio. Todd's approach to music-making has inspired artists to take creative risks and explore uncharted sonic territories.In the mid-70s, seeking new avenues for creative expression, Rundgren formed the band Utopia. With them he crafted extended compositions that featured dynamic shifts, complex time signatures, and an eclectic mix of rock, pop, and classical influences. Beyond his achievements as a performer, Todd Rundgren is also revered for his pioneering work as a record producer. His studio prowess and keen musical instincts have made him one of the most sought-after producers in rock history. Rundgren's production credits include his work on Meat Loaf's album Bat Out of Hell. This record, one of the best-selling albums of all time, showcases his ability to harness raw talent and transform it into something transcendent. Todd also lent his production genius to artists such as Badfinger, Grand Funk Railroad, The New York Dolls, Hall & Oates, Patti Smith, XTC, and many more. A lifelong admirer of The Beatles, Todd's musical style and production techniques bear the unmistakable influence of the Fab Four. He has collaborated with Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band and he has inspired a diverse array of artists across multiple genres. As we reflect on the life and career of Todd Rundgren, it becomes clear that his influence on music is both profound and far-reaching. He's a gifted performer, songwriter and trailblazer. His work continues to inspire musicians and captivate fans, ensuring that his contributions to rock, pop, and progressive music will be celebrated for generations to come.By exploring the life and work of Todd Rundgren in this feature episode, we celebrate not only his achievements but also the spirit of innovation that he has instilled in the world of music. His career serves as an inspiration to anyone who dares to dream, experiment, and redefine what is possible in the realm of sound. Whether you are a longtime fan or a newcomer to his music, this deep dive into his storied journey offers an invaluable glimpse into the mind of one of rock's most fearless innovators.#toddrundgren #RockLegend #Classicrock #Music

Do you know the tragic story of Badfinger? Behind such life-affirming songs as “No Matter What,” “Day After Day” and “Baby Blue” and the much-covered power ballad “Without You” lay a dark tale in which Badfinger's manager defrauded the band and left them destitute. Bob Jackson played keyboards and guitar in the last Badfinger lineup that featured Pete Ham, the honey-voiced singer-songwriter behind most of those hits. This lineup recorded the album Head First in late 1974, but Warner Bros. refused to release it amid the manager's financial misconduct. Ham took his own life months later. Bassist-singer-songwriter Tom Evans would take his own life in 1983. A rough mix of Head First finally came out in 2000, but Jackson, the last surviving member of the lineup that recorded it, marked its 50th anniversary by locating the original multi-tracks and releasing what he considers the definitive version. Jackson recounts his fraught yet creatively productive time with Badfinger, his chilling final visit with Ham, and how bringing the music of Head First to the world became his raison d'etre.

Rich Ulloa has always been passionate about music. That was evident early on when he established one of the most important independent record stores in the nation with Miami's Yesterday and Today Records. That led to the founding of Y&T Records, which gave birth to the Mavericks, Mary Karlzen and other seminal Florida artists that got their start courtesy of the label. In recent years, Y&T has achieved even greater prominence through several high profile releases, including an all-star tribute album saluting the legendary Eric Andersen and an ongoing series of unreleased Badfinger efforts offered through the cooperation of the Tom Evans and Pete Ham estates.  Rich talks with Lee and Billy about the evolution of the label, his current plans and the enthusiasm for music that brought him to  this point... and well beyond.

JagCore Professor of Jams Scott OKen is back to talk one of the all-time best bands you've never heard of: Badfinger. Known mainly for hits such as "Come and Get It", "No Matter What", and "Baby Blue", the story of this UK-based band is incredibly compelling (and tragic). We talk about Badfinger's deep connection with the Beatles, and how the band is named for the working title of a Beatles song. We dive into their first four albums, which are as good as any classic rock records from the early 70s. And we discuss their place in the Pantheon as well as the history of "power pop". And did you know that Harry Nilsson's "Without You" was written by Badfinger? Tune in for ultimate education!

Welcome back to Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions, our weekly conversation podcast. This week on the show, we're joined by Brian and Michael D'Addario, AKA, The Lemon Digs. Their latest slice of toothsome guitar pop is called A Dream Is All We Know. Writing about it in our mid-year favorite albums of 2024 (so far) list, we noted: “A dash of Badfinger, lots of Beach Boys, Todd Rundgren, and Sparks and you're on the track. As always, The Lemon Twigs come arms full of records you can compare their work to, but what makes Brian and Michael D'Addario's latest shine is its emotionality and hard-earned optimism, all of which lends resonance to the jangle and charm.” Rumbling out of Long Island, the Lemon Twigs were just as sharp, funny, and quick as I expected them to be. We got into all sorts of stuff, exploring their relationship with their mentor, Jonathan Rado of Foxygen, their collaborations and run-ins with the great Todd Rundgren and Sean Lennon, and unpack how their undeniable songs actually get written.  Aquarium Drunkard is supported by our subscribers.
