This week, Aaron and Brent look at music from an Icelandic band started by a group of childhood friends and a collection of musicians considered one of the 70s’ first supergroups.

Featuring members of bands like Free, Mott The Hoople and King Crimson, Brent highlights three songs from the career of Bad Company.
