Then again, Bad Company's instant success might have had something to do with the fact that the band was a supergroup, made up of former Free members Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke, Mott the Hoople's Mick Ralphs and King Crimson's Boz Burrell.
Written by Ralphs, "Can't Get Enough" shot to #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 when it came out, and in the years since, it's only grown in popularity (as anyone who's ever listened to classic rock radio knows).
"As soon as the opening guitar chord is struck you know exactly what’s in store," Dome wrote. "No wonder it was the band’s biggest hit single, because it combines a shuffling riff with a classy melody, all done with a big production that still sounds intimate."

"When we did 'Can’t Get Enough' and 'Movin’ On,' Paul liked the songs, but he wanted me to change the key," Ralphs said. "So we ended up doing them in the key of C. I used a Strat or a Tele and I had to put really light strings on it and tune it up to the key of C – C, C, G, C, E, C."
Together, Rodgers and Ralphs made musical magic happen. "Can't Get Enough" might have been Bad Company's biggest hit, but it certainly wasn't their last.
