No. 1 is definitely Bad Company. I know it and can't think of the name.
Ah! I knew the song was called Bad Company but didn’t know the band. Can we combine credits for this one? I believe it’s Bad Company by Bad Company.

Rush have been doing my head in for 30 odd years, especially Peart! He’s like a human drum machine.
Ha, Bastille day, nearly missed that pun. You could say, it went “over my head”

Yeah. Not too full on with the deep and meaningful lyrics either. They just keep repeating the one verse and chorus. Pretty much sums up every song they've ever done.I cheated and looked up who 18 was and then youtubed the song.
