Desolation Angels is the fifth studio album by English rock supergroup Bad Company, released on March 7, 1979. Paul Rodgers revealed on In the Studio with Redbeard that the album's title came from the 1965 novel of the same name by Jack Kerouac. The title was almost used 10 years prior to name the second album from Rodgers' previous band, Free, which in the end was called simply Free. Desolation Angels was recorded at Ridge Farm Studios in Surrey, England in late 1978. It is considered the last strong album by Bad Company with the original lineup, mostly because it contains their last major hit, "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy", written by Paul Rodgers and inspired by a guitar synthesizer riff which Rodgers had come up with. The album reached No. 3 on the U.S. Billboard album charts in 1979 and went platinum in 1979 and double platinum subsequently. It was their final top ten album in both the U.S. and the UK. In addition to "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy", "Gone, Gone, Gone", written by bassist Boz Burrell, also received substantial airplay on rock stations.
