In the late '80s, ex-Journey guitarist Neal Schon teamed up with ex-Babys vocalist John Waite and other arena rock veterans to form Bad English. One of the last supergroups of the decade, they made power ballads like there was no tomorrow, and they did it better than most because Waite could carry a tune and Schon created the power ballad prototype during his years in Journey. In late 1989/early 1990, the group scored two huge hit singles -- "When I See You Smile" and "Price of Love" -- and were big draws in concert. However, the follow-up album, Backlash, experienced one of ma**ive proportions, failing to have even one Top 40 hit. The band called it quits soon after its release. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
