MARK PRINDLE

The Firm was a mega-gigantic supergroup of the '80s featuring guitarist Jimmy Page from The Yardbirds/Led Zeppelin, singer Paul Rodgers from Free/Bad Company, a fretless bass player with big poofy hair named Tony Franklin, and that bald guy from Midnight Oil and The Hills Have Eyes on drums (before he left to join AC/DC). They attempted to bring good old basic '70s hard rock into the '80s, but those with high expectations were disappointed to find them much more Bad Company-ish than Led Zeppeliny. Minor hits included "Radioactive," "Satisfaction Guaranteed" and "All The King's Horses." Minor irritants included "Midnight Moonlight" and the worst cover of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" ever conceived within the mind of scholars... But enough about Firm Lerm. Let's talk the GOOD points, as they DO exist - otherwise the disc wouldn't get a 6! Here they are: Four great songs. Now hold on - they won't blow your hat off your head or anything -- but they are honest-to-goodness really..
