Bad Company in the '70s: A Singles Poll

Thanks to continual play on classic rock radio, a lot of Bad Company's early singles has turned into wallpaper. But tonight I sat down and listened to them through headphones, pretending I'd never heard them before, and damn... they were so fantastic.

"Young Blood", (yes, the Coasters song) a totally forgotten hit for Bad Co. Went to #20 in 1976. But the band must hate it. The song isn't even included on their 2 Disc Anthology collection.

"Can't Get Enough" 1

Surprised at this, this was a school band staple, back in the day.

Just heard one of post-Rogers hits on the radio--has there ever been such a reasonably successful period of a popular band that's as buried and forgotten as Brian Howe-era Bad Company?

two years pass...

JUST what we needed, on today of all days. Said the promo email:

"DRUMMING ICON SIMON KIRKE (BAD COMPANY) RELEASES "FEEL LIKE MAKING LOVE" - NEW UKULELE VERSION!"

Brian Howe agrees.

the ralphs demo answers the commonly asked questioned, "what would it sound like if shoes covered bad company ?" and the answer is FUCKING AMAZING
