After Supertramp, let's move on to Foreigner. What do you think of these guys?

I'm a sucker for stupid, stupid rock (see avatar) but I have my limits.

Do they have any of the same members as Journey? I always thought that they did.

 

I think I used to like whatever Foreinger's top song was, but I was only 7.

NO~!

Santana and Bad English had some members that were in Journey, but Foreigner did NOT! Foreigner was a ripoff of Bad Company.

And Bad Company was a ripoff of Led Zepplin.

 

I don't find Foreigner to be a great band by any means, but I find most of their songs to be fun and catchy. It's brain candy to me.

 

What I've learned so far:

Foreigner sucks

Supertramp is good to the three people here who have heard of them

Foreigner was definitely nothing special, but I mark out for "Jukebox Hero." No, don't ask why.

Nowhere near one of my favorite bands, but I do like some of their music, specially before "4". "Waiting For A Girl Like You" and "I Want To Know What Love Is" are probably two of the greatest ballads ever. But my favorite has to be "Urgent".

You know, the singer is saved now, and I saw him at some church singing "Now I Know What Love Is".... it's Jesus, apparently.

Oh...THAT'S Foreigner. Like most people born after the 1970s, I tend to run a lot of those bands together: Foreigner, Journey, Boston, etc. Foreigner had tons of enormous hits (and an album cover depicting a young lady squatting over a urinal, which confused the hell out of me as a boy) but clearly "Hot Blooded" is the best of the bunch. It's the greatest song to wash a car to ever composed.

 

I'm reasonably certain that "Hot Blooded" is Foreigner.

I like that one song on the Vice City soundtrack but that's really it.

I love that song! That's Foreigner? I always knew they did "Jukebox Hero", but now I like two of their songs. Just one more and I can justify searching through the cut-out bin for the CD!

A list of Foreigner's greatest hits then.

 

Hot Blooded

Double Vision

Head Games

Cold as Ice

Dirty White Boy

Juke Box Hero

Feels like the First Time

Waiting for a Girl Like You

Urgent

Long, Long Way from Home

 

And did anyone see the recent episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force where the Moonites returned with the Foreigner belt? It gave them the power of the rock band Foreigner and they gave shake double vision and made Carl Cold as Ice among other things.

Not a fan. I'm a big classic rock guy, but Foreigner, Reo Speedwagon, and Journey all sound the same and do nothing for me.

Foreigner blew pretty hard and I was tolerable of their work for a very long time until I could no longer find anything positiive to say about them.
