Great, Scott!
Seems it was a way easy one for you. "New Orleans is Sinkin'..." and this one are my fave-rits.
TURN IT UP!:

Couldn't help but share a little 'love'. In sticking with the tennis analogy, the ball is now in your court.
Mr. Larson, Serve us up another Ace!

The Posies - Hate Song
Robin Zander screamed and for extra credit, Rick Nielson played guitar on that song too.

Bad Company made their recording debut on what other hard rock band's own label? (It was also the first release for the label.)

Would that be Led Zeppelin's Swan Song label?

Since were playing Bad Co. trivia, the original band members of Bad Co. have appeared in (what I can find) three other bands/projects. Name the original member, and the other band/project.

I'm not quite sure if I understood the question. Would love to hear the answer, though. I used to be a huge Free & Bad Co fan.

Paul Rodgers: pre: Brown Sugar, Free, Peace; after: Firm, Law, Queen+PR

Simon Kirke: pre: Black Cat Bones, Free, Kossoff, Kirke, Tetsu & Rabbit; after: Wildlife, Ringo's All-Stars

Mick Ralphs: pre: Mott The Hoople

Boz Burrell: pre: King Crimson

I find the lists of Ralphs and Burrell rather short. Must be something else there. At least, they've both performed solo. Of course, Ralphs & Kirke have spent much of their time in rather different Bad Co. w/ different vocalists.
