Bad Company came together in 1973 when singer Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke, both formerly of Free, joined guitarist Mick Ralphs of Mott the Hoople and bassist Boz Burrell, who had played with King Crimson. Signed to Led Zeppelin’s Swan Song label, the band quickly developed a stripped-down hard rock sound that blended British blues, memorable riffs, and Rodgers’ commanding vocals. The self-titled 1974 debut introduced “Can’t Get Enough,” “Rock Steady,” “Ready for Love,” and “Bad Company.”

The original lineup went on to release Straight Shooter, Run with the Pack, Burnin’ Sky, Desolation Angels, and Rough Diamonds. Across those albums, Bad Company recorded “Feel Like Makin’ Love,” “Shooting Star,” “Silver, Blue & Gold,” and “Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy,” as well as many album tracks that never received the same radio attention. The band’s 1970s catalog also produced single B-sides and studio outtakes later recovered for expanded editions.

Bad Company continued after Rodgers’ departure, introducing Brian Howe as lead singer for Fame and Fortune in 1986. With Howe, the group recorded Dangerous Age, Holy Water, and Here Comes Trouble, scoring later rock hits such as “No Smoke Without a Fire,” “If You Needed Somebody,” and “How About That.” Robert Hart subsequently fronted the band on Company of Strangers and Stories Told & Untold, bringing further original songs and fresh studio interpretations of earlier material.

The original members reunited to record four new songs for The ‘Original’ Bad Co. Anthology in 1999, while the 2002 live release In Concert: Merchants of Cool added “Joe Fabulous” and “Saving Grace.” Later archival editions revealed additional unreleased compositions, including “See the Sunlight,” “Let There Be Love,” and “Rock Fever.” This A-to-Z list covers the songs documented on the twelve studio albums, significant non-album recordings, newly released archival titles, and the few additional songs featured on official live releases, without repeatedly counting ordinary remasters or alternate mixes as different compositions.
