Joey Molland - This Way Up (2001)

Joey Molland's group Badfinger was one of the great power pop bands of all time. Before the Raspberries, the Dwight Twilley Band, and other tunesmiths found the magic of energetic car radio melodies, Molland and crew led the way. This Way Up continues that work and is one of the best solo discs that ex-members of the Beatles never made. It bears repeating – This Way Up contains the essence of what was great about those early solo Beatles albums, not surprising because Molland played on some of them.
