The album reached the top of the US Billboard 200. Since then, the album has been certified five times platinum by the RIAA, and became the 46th best selling album of the 1970s. Kerrang! magazine listed the album at No. 40 among the "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time". “Bad Company” was recorded at the legendary Headley Grange and was the first album released on Led Zeppelin's Swan Song Records label.

I’ve heard these songs on the radio for as long as I can remember. The album’s title track and “Ready for Love” are among my all-time favorite Classic Rock songs. In retrospect, experiencing the live performances of some legendary Classic Rock bands in my late-teens, along with working on construction sites with fellas 12-to-15 years older than me, helped me rediscover some really great music and riffs from days gone by, especially that of the muscle car-driven mid-‘70s.
