Bad English was a rock supergroup that included John Waite, Jonathan Cain, Ricky Phillips, Neil Schon, and Deen Castronovo - sort of a mix of The Baby's and Journey. Their debut album in 1989 came out when I was in college and contained many songs that have special memories for me.
My favorites are "When I See You Smile", "Ghost in Your Heart", and "Possession".
