2.0 out of 5 stars Bad Co.'s weakest album, July 17, 2000
Hardly a disaster, but easily the weakest entry in the band's catalog, "Fame And Fortune" was a confused and convoluted comeback. There is nothing wrong with the new vocalist; he is fine. The performances by all concerned are good, when they can be made out underneith all of the sappy '80's synth-gloss. A few good songs do emerge and overall this is a decent, if somewhat forgettable and definitely unremarkable album. Not the place to start with Bad Company; for diehards and completists only.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fame and Fortune, January 16, 2005
By baddchadd "chad" (sterling heights , mi) - See all my reviews
The First album with Brian Howe replacing Paul Rodgers the music fits in with the 80s sound lots of keyboards few guitar rockers but old fans will like the title track this album gets alot of mixed views one being the horrible cover (what were they thinking???) but if you love the Holy Water era Bad Company give this a listen

3.0 out of 5 stars A New Sound From A Classic Band, May 12, 2007
This CD gets a bad rap because most people that hear it are hoping to hear the 'classic' bad company sound like on 'feel like makin' love' or 'shooting star' so if you are looking for that sound you won't find it here
however you will find a great album!

I was very surprised when I picked this up
because it sounds a lot like Survivor (in my opinion) which is a great thing as I'm a fan of that band as well...
this is the only release from the band that sounds like that because the next one they released finds the keyboards all but removed and has a whole new sound (and a sound they would stick to for four albums in a row)
but fame and fortune is a great CD and is actually one of my favorites from this band
songs like 'burning up' and 'hold on my heart' and 'that girl' and 'this love' really rock
the year was 1986 and this is the sound that was huge on the radio
unfortunately for Bad Company this didn't really hit nearly as huge as it should have

the upside - some really great and catchy tunes in the style of Night Ranger and Survivor...the best songs are 'that girl' 'this love' and 'burning up'

the downside - definitely don't buy this if your hoping for the 'classic' Bad Company sound but if you are just looking for great music this is a great album...

the bottom line - if you love Survivor you'll love this CD...this is a really solid Bad Company release that deserves a listen...donutman says so!!!

I am a fan of the Brian Howe years of Bad Company. I own every cd of his Bad Company years. However, I don't think this is his best cd. Read more

"When We Made Love" is in my mind, easily one of the best love songs to come from any band in the 80's.

4.0 out of 5 stars A cool return to the Bad Company band.
After Paul departed in '82, badco disbanded. Reuniting in 1986, with vocalist Brian Howe was a smart thing to do. Read more
