1!The rock band:
2* CoveredUp:
3** "Oh Atlanta" is more widely known as an Music/AlisonKrauss song.
4** Conversely, "Ready for Love" was originally a Music/MottTheHoople song sung by Mick Ralphs.
5* EpicRiff: The chorus riff of "Bad Company", which stands out due to its bass-heavy tone (caused by Mick Ralphs playing through a Fender Bassman bass guitar amplifier instead of a guitar amplifier).
6* FirstInstallmentWins: While most of their albums from their initial run are well-regarded, their self-titled debut still stands as their most famous and most often praised album.
7* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Big in their native Britain, even bigger in America.
8* HarsherInHindsight: Bad Company friend, (and former bandmate to Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke in the band, Free), Paul Kossoff died of drug-related heart problems in 1976 at the tender age of 25. Almost a year earlier, Bad Company had another big hit with "Shooting Star", a song about a young rock star who has a fatal drug overdose, much like Music/JimiHendrix, [[Music/TheDoors Jim Morrison]], Music/JanisJoplin, and eventually, Kossoff.
9* MemeticMutation: Referring to the song "Bad Company" as "[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Bad Company by the band Bad Company from the album Bad Company]]".
