BAD COMPANY
With members from Mott the Hoople, King Crimson and Free, and signed to Led Zeppelin’s Swan Song imprint, Bad Company were one of rock’s first and most successful supergroups, both live and on record. By combining arena-ready blues-rock swagger with Top 40 hits, they distinguished themselves from their peers. The foursome’s straightforward, no-frills approach inspired rockers to embrace melody over bombast, songs over jams, tight, short solos and unforgettable choruses.
