My Thoughts On The Song/Chart: A fine classic from Bad Company that features some tricky Trill lanes scattered through it's verses and a Solo at 1:20
Song Facts:
"Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy" is a song by the rock supergroup Bad Company. The track was written by vocalist and frontman Paul Rodgers, and released as the lead single from their 1979 studio album Desolation Angels.
The song remains a staple of Bad Company's discography and has become an essential track on classic rock radio.
"Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy" was inspired by a guitar synthesizer riff that Paul Rodgers had come up with. While not the band's highest charting single in America, it is their best selling, having been certified Gold by the RIAA.
Cash Box said "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy" has a "stout beat and heavy fuzz guitar sound and excellent singing" as well as "solid" production. Record World called it "a hard rocker with a sure shot at AOR and Top 40 play" and praised Rodgers' lead vocals as being "inspired." Critic Jack Garner said it "contains the most varying material yet from the band, indicating continued growth and maturity on their part." Allmusic reviewer Mike DeGagne commented on Rodgers' "vocal passion" on the song. Allmusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine regarded it as one of the band's best "big, brawny arena rockers" and noted that it's a "quintessential classic rock staple.
Ultimate Classic Rock critic Matt Wardlaw rated it as Bad Company's 4th best song, saying that it "is probably one of the best songs ever written about what it's like living life as a star in the music business".
