I like Ozzy's solo career as far as heavy metal. 80s and 90s especially.

Meh. They execute what they're trying to do, and they tick all the correct hard rock boxes, but there's just no soul to what they do. It's all too calculated. They're like a less ****ty, 70s version of Nickelback.

Boz Burtell (King Crimson) alone is a unique and talented bassist that masters a sound and style of blues/hard rock on bass guitar with a strong progressive edge. Not even concidering Paul Rodgers is one of the great blues rock vocals of all time. I could go on but I will leave it to that.
Regatdless of an MB only bias opinion, Bad Company was one of the more popular blues rock bands here in the States during the 70s. Their songs ( I don't believe) all sound the same the way Nickelbacks does. But each to his own opinion, no different than assholes, everybody's got one...

A.) The fact that they are a super group is irrelevant if their music sucks, and B.) I already said they were a less ****ty version of Nickelback. They can certainly write songs, but they seem to write them for the same reasons as Nickelback, with the same calculated staleness. I get no real emotion from them, just bland hard rock written for the sole purpose of pushing units.
