In the world of music, every once in a while, previously acclaimed musicians get together to write and perform music. When they form a band, we call this a supergroup. One of the best examples of a supergroup in the 1970s was the English rock band, Bad Company. The band formed when Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke (formerly of the band, Free) converged with King Krimson’s bassist, Boz Burrell and former Mott the Hoople guitar player, Mick Ralphs. This juggernaut of a band achieved high levels of commercial success though the 1970s, with their first three studio albums breaching the top five in the US and UK. Though the lineup of members switched at various points over the band’s career, together they crafted some of rock’s most recognizable tunes.
