Great Album

Great album-not a bad song on it. What's up with not being able to download in Britain? One would think that if you are a paying member that you should be able to take full advantage of this site-I've seen the same thing with other American artists "not available for dowload in your country"-doesn't make sense to me.

eMusic Celebrates Elektra Records' 60th Aniversary

By eMusic Editorial Staff, eMusic Contributor

Jac Holzman founded Elektra Records in October 1950, gradually growing it from a label specializing in folk and related music into one of the most progressive imprints in rock. The early home of rock giants like the Doors and beloved cult acts like Love and Tim Buckley, Elektra gradually became synonymous with "cutting edge." In the '80s, it was the home of pioneering alternative acts like the Pixies. Take time out today to celebrate the… more »

They Say All Music Guide

Bad Company’s 1974 self-titled release stands as one of the most important and accomplished debut hard rock albums from the ’70s. Though hardly visionary, it was one of the most successful steps in the continuing evolution of rock & roll, riding on the coattails of achievement from artists like the Eagles and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. From the simple electric guitar lick on “Can’t Get Enough” to the haunting bassline in “Bad Company” and the fast beats of “Movin’ On,” Bad Company exemplified raw rock & roll at its best. Erupting out of an experimental period created by the likes of Pink Floyd, Bad Company signified a return to more primal, stripped-down rock & roll. Even while labelmates Led Zeppelin’s Houses of the Holy and IV featured highly acclaimed, colorful album artwork, Bad Company’s austere black and white record cover stood out in stark contrast. Six years later, AC/DC used the same idea on their smash Back in Black. Throughout the 35-minute album, Paul Rodgers’ mesmerizing and gritty vocals hardly vary in tonal quality, offering a perfect complement to Mick Ralphs’ blues-based guitar work. Several songs include three-chord verses offset by unembellished, distorted choruses, filled rich with Rodgers’ cries. Bad Company is an essential addition to the rock & roll library; clearly influential to ’70s and ’80s hard rock bands like Tom Petty, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Boston. – Gautam Baksi
