Free by a country mile, although Bad Company's early stuff was pretty decent.  The Firm were, on the whole, ghastly, and the whole business with Queen is simply an embarrassment.

If I recall, wasn't Paul Rogers touted as Richie Blackmore's desired replacement for Ian Gillan in Deep Purple back in 1973?  That would have been worth hearing, though I can understand Rogers' reluctance to work with a guitarist who's quite so renowned for sacking everybody around him...

Oh man, Free and Bad Company have like, one epic riff each, that's it, but the riff to All Right Now is more epic than Feel Like Makin' Love, so Free gets the vote.

Bad Co direction is classic rock with pop influences. Free is hard rock/soul/blues rock. I really Free cause sometimes remind me to Trapeze with Glenn Hughes.

Free! Mostly because he was younger then and Paul Kossof was a beast of a guitarist.  Also Bad Company and his later projects were pretty lame.

Free but I also like Bad Co.. Didnt like the Firm that much and never heard the others.
I like Tons of Sobs the debut of Free a lot. Sounds really heavy. Certainly influenced a lot of heavy metal bands like Led Zeppelin and Uriah Heep

Relax and  wander off to bed knowing that Free waxes Bad Company's ass EVERY TIME.  (and I try not to use shouting caps often unless I don't notice that the key is stuck...)

Free seemed to only be quite popular in UK, Europe, and Japan. Somehow they skipped us in the US except for the overplayed "All Right Now" song. Which clearly isn't the best representation of the great work that Free put out. Clapton wished he had the vibrato skills of Kossof. Rodgers was still a great rock and roll singer and writer when he was in Free.
