I forgot Commodores and KC and the Sunshine Band

[Jared]

Yes, while a good "UK bluesy" band in the 60's, the addition of Lindsey and Stevie really put them on the map. Comercial with a capital "C," while still retaining some of that back album, off-mainstream style.

The overt commercialism is what I didn't like.


It's like two different bands.

Jared,

I see you listed Queen & Bad Company.............more of a Queen fan myself, but I thought Paul Rogers was fantastic when he toured with Brian May & Roger Taylor a year or so back...............

And May's guitar style gave some of the Free & Bad Company's stuff a nice new sound

Wish I could have seen it.

Paul Rodgers does have a great voice. Did any of the arrangments change? Did they drop keys? Did Roger and Brain sing lead at all?

The first punk band, in my opinion.

They were fantastic.................

A few arrangements were changed, personally I love what they did with Hammer To Fall, and both Brian & Roger sang vocals.
