FAME AND FORTUNE is one of those albums that record companies put out just to see whether their listeners still have functional rgag reflexes. I knew enough from looking at the sports themed logo on the front NOT to waste even a dollar on figuring out why rthis album was going to suck so hard. Was this some lame attempt at branding? rThe album is full of bland, faceless pop/rock that is geared for AOR playlists. It seems that Bad Company, Foreigner, Journey r(and even Uriah Heep) all essentially became the same band around this point in time because you'd to hard pressed to guess rwhose record was playing if you randomly queued up their mid-80's albums. And if sickening sweet pop-rock like the stuff that rDavid Foster was doing with Chicago and Peter Cetera around this time is your thing, you might actually like this. It's just radding insult to injury to trot this out as a Bad Company record and add such a blemish to their band's original spirit and rimage. Just put this in the trash bin and walk away.
