2 | ** Did you know "Without You" was a Badfinger song (from ''No Dice'')? Didn't think so. Music/HarryNilsson had a #1 hit with his version in 1972 (he said he heard the Badfinger version at a party and initially assumed it was an obscure Beatles song he'd never heard before), Music/MariahCarey also had a huge hit with it in 1994, and there are hundreds of other covers. |
3 | ** In turn, although their version of "Come and Get It" was the first to be released, Music/PaulMcCartney wrote and demoed it while a member of Music/TheBeatles. [=McCartney=]'s demo was eventually released as a Beatles recording on ''Anthology 3'', although he performed all the instruments and vocals himself. |

6 | ** After Pete Ham's death in 1975, Bob Jackson wrote a song called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3uNpT2ot8c I Won't Forget You]]. It is arguably a very touching tribute to Ham. Evans' suicide in 1983 makes this song also HarsherInHindsight. |
7 | ** The band's story in general, which is in the running for the most tragic in pop music history. |
