3. >insert anti-digital snark here

4. Why?

Because I own CD's and not the CLASSIC vinyl?

[FreepFryer]

6. Because that record was well-known for it's mixing and mastering...

... the thick, powerful, tubey sound of which has never translated to digital.

If you want to really feel that album, play it on vinyl on a good stereo and hear all the music between the 44,100 samples per second on the cd.

13. You know something else I really like.

The Firm's song "Midnight Moonlight". That song was almost epic. The final song off the first album and Paul Rodgers did a good job singing it. It actually started out as a song called "Swan Song" that Jimmy Page wrote during the Physical Graffiti sessions of Led Zeppelin but never released. And Page reworked it with Paul Rodgers when they were working on The Firm and it became "Midnight Moonlight".

8. "Feel Like Makin' Love" is on the Straight Shooter album

Bad Company was one-third of the first concert I ever went. (The headliner was, brace yourself, Ted Nugent. Yeah, I already hear some of you tossing your cookies :) ).

9. Don't feel bad. I saw the Nuge at the Alaska State Fair

a few years ago. What a gigantic asshole!

[coloradodem2005]

12. I remember seeing Behind The Music on Nuge.

I knew then that I couldn't stand him. He wasn't just arrogant, he was self-righteous and I hated his politics. It was never so clear what an asshole someone was as it was him when I watched that.

10. is that why they call you "bad company"? (...you can't deny....)

[coloradodem2005]

11. Yes.
