A lot of people reject "old school." I listen to a lot of different types of music and honestly rock from the 1960s and 1970s was the best. No autotune. There was always commercial or teenybop stuff, sure. Good music, no matter what the genre will stand the test of time.

[@kleonard420]

Hello brother I love your reaction videos I grew up listening to classic rock, you've done those already... I think your getting close to what I call Southern Rock. Bands like Molly Hatchet, .38 Special, Atlanta Rhythm Section.... but my all time favorite is The Outlaws! The got famous for a song called "ghost riders in the sky" but if could request you react to another song I would ask for "Green Grass and High Tides Forever" or a song called "Hurry Sundown" They did an album called Ladies in Waiting that I consider epic. I thank you for your positive attitude towards discovering new music. So on that note I'd love to see you react to some post punk / mid 80's new wave / early electronic music Ever heard of... English Beat? The Jam ? The Specials? or General Public? Thank you for what you do! You're cool with me Jamel !

A completely underrated song was Seagull! Love it! With a change up of lead singer in the eighties produced some more great songs! During that time the original singer(Paul Rogers) joined up with Jimmy Page( Zeppelin) to form band called “The Firm” (not so great) sorry! Any way just thought that I would share.

Paul Rogers has one of the most amazing voices of any genre, and still sounds great live. His first band, in the late 60's was called Free, and I know you know one of their songs! It's called "Alright Now", another called "Wishing Well" (with an incredible vocal by Paul) was also done while they were teenagers. Sadly their guitarist was a heroin addict, and Paul decided to form another band, along with Free's drummer, Simon Kirke. The bass player, and guitarist Mick Ralph's we're from King Crimson, and Mott the Hoople. One of the first super groups. When Led Zeppelin started their own record label, Bad Company was the first band they signed. There just aren't any bad bc songs.

Actually it came out in 1974. It was recorded in late 1973 though. As far as competition I guess you could say bands like Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Foghat, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Nazareth, and other "hard rock" bands of the era. This was the pre-heavy metal era. Hard rock bands had more soulfulness in their playing. They were influenced by blues and soul music. Most music fans didn't really think about competition back in those days it was all part of the rock and roll catalog. Hard rock and folk rock and southern rock and country rock and jazz rock and soft rock and progressive rock. Later came new wave and punk and heavy metal. It's all part of what they now call "classic rock" But to us it was just "current rock"...

[@justpaula2479]

Yes! Paul Rodgers is one of THE FINEST rock vocals ever. In fact, he toured with Queen after Freddie Mercury passed away. Ready for Love and Feel Like Makin' Love were two more of the makeout songs from my high school years. I was lucky enough to see Bad Company back in 1980 or 1981 when I was in high school. My favorite is Shooting Star which was written to honor Jimi Hendrix, Janice Joplin and Jim Morrison who died way before their time because of booze & drugs. The album Bad Company (that this song is on) was released in 1974 and I remember that was the first album I ever purchased with my allowance money because my mom thought it was devil music (I was 10 years old and still have the original vinyl). They were on par with The Who, Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones (in my opinion) and selling out arenas wherever they played.

[@someoldatheist6712]

This album came out in 1973. This is another one of those albums i wore out in my teen years great music. YOU MUST do their song "feel like makin love".

[@TheBlueDogMan]

This band was hot as hell in the 70s. Feel Like Making Love was a staple for all teens in the day. The song Bad Company to me is very folk and western music. Cowboy themed for sure; They're one of the best known rebel or individualist in our country's past. There's not a more romanticized character than a cowboy alone on the land with nothing but his grit and toughness to survive.

as mentioned, "Shooting Star" is a must from them. another killer tune i've not seen mentioned is "Fire and Water." there's a KILLER live version on here that has Paul Rogers (the singer here, whose voice is still awesome) as a guest performer with Joe Banamassa. THEY TEAR IT UP.

[@barriehull7076]

I was just going out and I found you had uploaded this so just had to sit down and listen and like. Jamal my man, dude, so good. Paul Rodgers on vocals, brilliant singer. Their record label was "swan song" which as you know is Led Zeppelin. That tells you all you need to know how good they are. Can't get enough of Bad Company, which happens to be the first track title from this album. According to my CD notes it was released on June 26, 1974 in the UK. Recorded at Headley Grange November 1973 where ZEP recorded Parts of Led Zeppelin's albums Led Zeppelin III, Led Zeppelin IV. Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti were composed and/or recorded at Headley Grange. Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant wrote most of the lyrics to Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" there in a single day.The Led Zeppelin song "Black Dog," which, like Stairway, appeared on Led Zeppelin IV, was named after a black Labrador Retriever which was found hanging around Headley Grange during recording. According to Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page: Headley Grange was somewhat rundown; the heating didn't work. But it had one major advantage. Other bands had rehearsed there and hadn't had any complaints.

[@jidypowell8783]

Bad Co is the ONLY band ever on Swan Song label. Tells you whay Jimmy thought of Paul Rogers who is also the lead singer of The Firm who's lead guitarist is coincidentally JIMMY PAGE. Paul also did a couple of tours with Queen after Freddie passed and did those songs well too.

[@TEverettReynolds]

@@jidypowell8783 There were others on Swan Song, Dave Edmunds comes to mind. I also know Robert Plant's single work in the early 80s was also still on it.

[@Deborahtunes]

Plus they had the same manager as Led Zeppelin, Peter Grant...

[@1980bwc]

Paul Rodgers, the greatest rock vocalist of all time!

[@thewizard6077]

They came out circa 1974. I had the fortune of meeting Peter Grant (Led Zeppelin's manager) years ago. Zeppelin was preparing for an upcoming tour in a warehouse building that many groups used to practice in. Bad Co was in the same building. Peter went to get a coffee and overheard Bad company practicing through a door that wasn't fully closed (he overheard them playing Can't Get Enough). When they were done, Peter entered the room and was surprised to see it was Paul Rogers singing. Peter knew Paul from his days with the band Free. Peter then offered the band a contract under Swan Song Records (Led Zeppelin's newly formed record company, distributed through Atlantic Records). Bad Co then signed with Swan Song. For comparable bands, I know some will try to minimize them with comparisons to lesser southern rock bands of the same period. I never quite got that vibe. They had a roots, blues based sound that was more refined, yet they're recordings were rawer in production. And Paul Rogers is one of the greatest singers of all time. His voice really has an R&B vibe to it. It definitely made sense for them to be on Led Zeppelin's record label. I guess the closest Band you might compare them to of the era would be Foreigner, who were good, but in my humble opinion, Bad Co was better. Foreigner were English musicians as well, but with a very talented American lead singer (Lou Gramm, from Rochester , NY). Hope that helps. Peace
