Bad English were a supergroup when the phrase actually meant something. Their million-dollar line-up featured members of The Babys (bassist Ricky Phillips and singer John Waite, the latter a solo star in his own right), Journey (guitarist Neal Schon) and a keyboard player (Jonathan Cain) who played with both.
