Foreigner on A&E's PRIVATE SESSIONS this Sunday!
This Sunday, March 29th at 9 am - Only on A&E's PRIVATE SESSIONS - renowned rockers Mick Jones and Kelly Hansen tell all and perform their mega hits "Cold as Ice", "Double Vision", "Urgent", "Waiting for a Girl Like You" and their new song "Too Late".


Now I remember why I liked these guys
What more could we have asked for. Wow! How many of these songs were the backdrop of our lives from 1979 through the early 90's? Rock solid songwriting, instrumental work that you felt in your gut, and Lou Gramm's incredible voice. I still think "Urgent" could qualify as my generation's "Bolero" in terms of accompaniment to seduction. Romantic? No. Hot and hard when you needed it? Oh, yeah!.


Foreigner is Still Great,Especially to us fans.
Their hard rock anthems,and classic power balads pushed them to the top of the charts. Foreigner was one of the most successful bands of the late 70's and 80's. A lot of people have rated them poorly,saying their no "Led Zepplin". Fact of the matter is Foreigner never tried to be Led Zepplin,The Rolling Stones,Aerosmith,or Pink Floyd. However for people who like fun music,you can hum and sing along with,Foreigner is A classic. This album has all their great hits,"I Want To Know What Love Is","Urgent","Juke Box Hero","Cold As Ice","Feels Like The First Time",amoung others. If you want music,that'll make you happy,and bring back great memories of the 70's and 80's ,check this out. If you don't like "Foreigner",then go buy something else. Music is still enjoyable,whether it's corporate or underground.


Slightly Dated
Every now and again, it's good to bust out some mindless rock just to let off some steam and this album works well for that. I bought this album when it first came out, having been a casual Foreigner fan. All of Foreigner's hits are here in one place and I enjoyed the newer songs "soul Doctor" and "Prisoner of Love", while "With Heaven on Our Side" receives a "meh". One thing that struck me on recently listening is how dated a lot of the production sounds to me. It's got a very glossy sheen to it, unlike the more organic sounding recordings that I seem to enjoy these days. But that's really just a personal preference. The songs are good for what they are, which is AOR rock. Foreigner were about as deep as a teaspoon even in their heyday, as shown by their lyrics. Still, they were good at writing catchy, if simplistic tunes. I would file this one under guilty pleasures. .


Very good "best of"
The choice of track seems perfect for me. This is another "must have" album for any person who wants to travel in time and go back to the 80's. As far as I am concern, if you are looking only for the "hits" from the band, I think this cd has them all. .
