Bad Company

Drum and bass
Drum and bass

Bad Company is a Drum and bass act. Their sound grew out of Mott the Hoople, Damn Yankees, Saigon Kick, John Deacon and An American Prayer. Those roots explain a lot about how Bad Company arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Free, Foghat, Billy Squier, Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band and Ted Nugent, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Iced Earth, Frankie Miller, Stereophonics, Alison Krauss and The Pretty Reckless, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 64 connections around Bad Company, reaching back through Mott the Hoople and forward to Iced Earth.
