Name a Bad Co. classic and it's likely to be here--"Can't Get Enough", "Feel Like Making Love", "Shooting Star", "Rock n' Roll Fantasy", "Ready for Love", and the slow-burning "Bad Company" have all become rock radio standards. If you're looking for just the crFme de la crFme of Rodgers, Ralphs, Burrell, and Kirke, purchasing 10 FROM 6: BEST OF BAD COMPANY is a no brainer.

Customer Reviews

Everything most fans will ever need
"10 From 6" means ten songs from the original Bad Company lineup's six different studio albums (actually the ten songs on this compilation were culled from only five of them - "Burnin' Sky" isn't represented).

It may seem like an awfully short compilation album from a band which released six studio albums, and had big hits like "Feel Like Makin' Love", "Electric Land" and "Can't Get Enough". But "10 From 6" actually works exceedingly well, and all the radio hits that most casual fans will associate with the band are here, over half of them taken from Bad Company's first two albums ("Bad Co." and "Straight Shooter").

If you are looking for a more thorough overview of the band, check out "The Original Bad Co. Anthology", but since Bad Company's albums tended to be rather uneven, this is actually a very good collection for those who just want the cream of the crop. Virtually all of the best of Bad Company is here.

Yep, this really is pretty much the best of Bad Company
"10 from 6" includes 4 from 1 not to mention 0 from 1, which is way of using mathematical notations to signify the fact that Bad Company got off to a fast start that the group never managed to maintain. The translation would simply read that four of the cuts on this hits collection came from their self-titled debut title and if you look for a song with a "star" by it from their fourth album, "Burning Sky," you are not going to find anything. In fact, use the magic key and you see that there are two tracks from their second and third albums and only one apiece from their last two. Actually, "10 From 6" is a horrible title, since it is really more like "10 From (6-1)" or something. Enough math formulations. Bad Company was a supergroup that featured Paul Rodgers from Free on lead vocals and guitarist Mick Ralph from Mott the Hoople. They were the second group to put out records on Led Zeppelin's Swan Song label for Atlantic Records; of course, years later Rodgers and Jimmy Page joined up for a couple of albums as the Firm. Their first three albums--"Bad Company," "Straight Shooter," and "Run With the Pack"--were the only decent ones they produced so this is one of those groups where if you decide just to pick up their greatest hits collection, that will probably do just fine.

An excellent collection of Paul Rodger's worthy achievements
Bad Company never made it into the 'super-group' category of music , being a sort of 'hand-me-down' of Free. Nevertheless, it deserved to, being a refreshing change from the more difficult Black Sabbath and Deep Purple genre of music of the time. Paul Rodgers proved his total contribution to Free through the formation of Bad Company -and let's face it, he's still on the circuit today, delighting audiences all over the world - not only with the old Free anthems, the Bad Company oldies, but also with new vibrant material. Today, he seems somewhat dated and frayed at the edges - the peace-and-love-man thing just doesn't work any more - but this Bad Company album, taken in it's own context and relevance to the progression of rock music at that time, is an outstanding example of what an accomplished musician can do.

On this album there is probably not 1 track that is better than the other - although if I were pushed I'd have to say it is Ready For Love - and it's interesting that almost all of these tracks remain part of the repertoire of Rodger's live music today.
