I can tell you what I liked about the band was they were a tight group with a raw tough sound that I believe was appealing to American tastes! It wasn't quite a southern US type sound but it was distinctive and the group was made up of exceptional musicians, therefore if you like pure rock, Bad Company/Free would provide!

A lot of their songs are played on our local classic rock stations. I actually find my favorite song of theirs to be "Running with the Pack."

I got the "Run With the Pack" album by a dutch girl I knew, she bought it because of the picture on the cover, I had all but forgotten I had it, until I finally got around to cataloging my record collection, so I hadn't really listened to it before, and I say that there is no doubt that they're a 70s rock band, reminding me about the early Queen with a touch of Slade, all in all a pretty good record.

One of my all time favorites....

"Shooting Star"

Paul Rogers is still touring under his name, and there is still a "Bad Company" faction as well.
If you ask me Paul rogers is "Bad Company".

Great band!  I love almost everything they've done!

"Shooting Star" is my favorite, followed closely by "Feel Like Makin' Love'"... 8)
