I have never given Bad Company much thought. They have some good singles on the classic rock station (Bad Company chief among them), but I never would have guessed that they were a supergroup comprised of members from Mott the Hoople, Golden Earring, and Paul Rodgers–all bands I HAVE given much thought.

And in the context of an entire album, their professionalism comes through. While the music isn’t necessarily groundbreaking, it never slips into overblown pastiche, as so much 70s rock wont to do. In fact, most of these songs could have been enduring radio singles themselves. And so, I guess by virtue of having no bad songs on it, this is a good record.

And the title track is still great.
