Though Free never collected a shelf full of trophies, their impact is measured in other ways. Rolling Stone has called them "British hard rock pioneers," a label that places them in the lineage of Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. Their signature song "All Right Now" has entered ASCAP's "One Million" airplay singles club, a rare honor signifying over a million radio plays in the US.Individual members have received critical recognition: Paul Rodgers ranked No. 55 on Rolling Stone's list of the "100 Greatest Singers of All Time," and Paul Kossoff ranked No. 51 on the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time." These honors, though posthumous for Kossoff, reflect the enduring respect for Free's musical contributions.
