It's getting to the point where it's weird to see a 70's group with its real lead singer.

The greatest music era was the 70s and this band is part of the proof

@Msdistarr (Continuation) Together they put out 2 albums. Their album "Mean Business" (songs "Spirit Of Love" and "Live In Peace" are amazing and my personal fav's) and their 2nd album "The Firm" which is a great album. It's my understanding that the band never planned to stay together for more than 2 albums, which is a shame because they were so good. You can definitely hear the strong influence of Paul Rodgers in the music. The fretless bass was a signature sound of the band.

For those of you who are big Paul Rodgers fans, during the period of 1984-86, he and ex-zepplin, Jimmy Page, created the band "The Firm". I'm sure most of you know this, but for those of you that didn't, here you go. The band consisted of Paul Rodgers: Lead Vocals and Rhythm Guitar, Ex-Zeppelin Jimmy Page: Lead Guitar, Ex-Uriah Heep Chris Slade: Drums and Tony Franklin: Fretless Bass. He was credited with the intro of the Fretless Bass into Hard Rock. If you haven't heard them, give a listen.

@bravospinach Your right. Nearly all of what you heard was something unique. If you think about it, Rock was still in it's infancy in the '70's. It was still so young in it's creation that any music that came out was bound to be something new and unique. There in lies the reason it was a musical era that was so incredible and could never be matched. Something can only begin "Once" and that was what happened in the 60-70's and a smidge of the 80's. Happy 50th by the way!

@Msdistarr I hear ya man... I just hit the 50 mark this year... For me it was the Washington, D.C. metro area... Gawd how I do miss bein' able ta pop into the city on any given night n' listen ta the 'live' bands playing in more than a dozen different clubs!!! We were truly given a gift... So, so many great bands, so much talent!!! Being able to turn on the radio n' actually be able to know instantly who we were actually listenin' to!!! All the DIFFERENT n' unique music styles...
