Bad Company
blues rock · 1970–1979
Bad Company is a British rock band known for their blues rock and hard rock sound. Formed in London in 1973, the group featured Paul Rodgers on vocals, Simon Kirke on drums, Mick Ralphs on guitar, and Boz Burrell on bass. With a string of hits like "Bad Company," "Feel Like Makin' Love," "Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy," and "Can't Get Enough," they delivered a gritty, anthemic style that resonated with rock fans. Kirke remained with the band throughout its existence, while their management under Peter Grant of Led Zeppelin fame added a bit of additional rock royalty to their profile. Bad Company carved a niche that still echoes in the halls of rock history.
