About this item
Amazon.com
Featuring three new tracks and liner notes, The Very Best attempts to bring Foreigner into the '90s as a viable, working band. Problem is, the most convincing songs here are those recorded during the band's first four albums when they were young and, if not hungry, at least not played out. "Jukebox Hero," "Hot Blooded," "Head Games," and "Cold As Ice" all sound as ripe and ready for radio as the day they were released. Singer Lou Gramm gave Foreigner its face and with the counterpunch of ex-Spooky Tooth guitarist Mick Jones proved a formidable team. The inclusion of their gospel-influenced hit "I Want to Know What Love Is" is the only addition from the 10-cut greatest hits album Records. --Rob O'Connor
Product Description
Out of print in the U.S.! If you're looking for a more substantial Foreigner 'hits' collection than 1982's 10 track Records, then this 17 track collection, originally released in 1992, is your best bet. Foreigner was a hit-making machine in the late '70s and early '80s, cranking out one Classic Rock radio standard after another, and all are showcased here. The term 'Arena Rock' was virtually invented by such rocking cuts as "Juke Box Hero", "Cold As Ice", "Urgent", "Double Vision", "Dirty White Boy", "Feels Like the First Time". Foreigner was one of the first rock outfits to excel with the power ballad: both "Waiting for a Girl Like You" and "I Want to Know What Love Is" helped open the floodgates for similarly styled songs by others.
