    When Foreigner released their first album, I was sold. I saw them in concert in 1978, tickets were $7.50 (I thought it was high), but they put on a great show. I've been a fan since day one. Lou Gramm has one of the best voices in rock history.

      Their replacement singer is not bad and they are touring this summer. This is the summer nostalgia season. Literally every group that ever had a hit the past 50 years are on the road this summer, but tickets are a lot more than 7.50 now. Ridiculous prices

Then as Casey Kasem was commenting on the #1 songs on other charts (as he was getting ready to play #2) I heard the keyboard chord starting up in the background. I was like "NO WAY!!!" LOL! In its 10th week at #2, Hall & Oates jumped over it.

    The original bass player Eddie Gagliardi was my next door neighbor in the projects in Brooklyn. I used to hear him practicing to the songs of the day like Zeppelin, the Who and Beatles. He was a huge McCartney fan and that is why he played left handed and chose the Rickenbacker. They moved away and a few years later I was working in the record department in a local store and saw this album cover and his picture on the cover. This was his dream to be in a band like this.

He told stories with the co-writer of the book and performed songs (Foreigner & his solo work) with his Lou Gramm band. At the end we got to meet him and get our book signed (his life story). Also got to see him with Foreigner in 1993. One of my all time favorites.

    The song appears at the end of the 2012 film Magic Mike and was also used during the Riff Medley by the Treblemakers in the movie Pitch Perfect. It was also featured in the 2013 film Anchorman 2, the 2017 film I, Tonya, and the end credits of the 2021 film Eternals. A heavily-edited version appears in the 2020 Netflix movie Spenser Confidential.

It was kept out of the No. 1 spot by Olivia Newton-John's "Physical" for nine of those 10 weeks and by Hall and Oates' "I Can't Go for That" the final week.

      I love Starrider. Ian brought the progressive rock flavour to their sound. Then Robert Lange produced the 4 album and told them to become a 4 piece with a rockier edge. Ian once replied to a comment of mine, and clearly expressed how bitter he is to this day. I often wonder what they could have produced as a 6 piece band. Their first album remains a favourite of mine. I absolutely love all their music though.

    Little surprised you didn't comment on maybe the greatest all time rock vocalist. His ability to convey gut wrenching emotion is almost next to none. Also, his lyrics are poetic. They paint a picture and tell a story like very few imo. Lou’s word selection and phrasing is very unique as well. Other must listen songs include Double Vision, Hot Blooded, Blue Morning, Blue Day, Head Games, Cold as Ice and Break it Up. And don't forget about the deep cut listens, Love on the Telephone, Rev the Red Line, I'm Gonna Win and Don’t Let Go.

      They might even want to try "Starrider" off this album, since they seemed to like the spacey kind of sound of the keyboard playing. Lou's voice is top 10 for me, and Mick Jones is a very smart guitar player, as well as being an excellent record producer (5150, among others).

    This was Foreigner's first hit single from their debut album. The second single released off the same album, and also a big hit on the radio back in the day was Cold As Ice. Their second album, Double Vision, also produced a couple of killer radio hits in Double Vision & Hot Blooded.

    Foreigner is a GREAT band. You should listen to "Cold as Ice" (reminds me of my x-wife) and "Hot Blooded" (current wife of 33 years). Two of their great songs. Love you guys, one of the best channels on TH-cam!

    The memories on this, whoa. First date (ever) chaperoned by our mutual friend, playing pool and discussing how much we all wanted to go to this concert. I couldn’t have been older than 17. Cold as Ice is better, imo. Or it’s wrapped up with more high school memories.

    This song came from Foreigner's first album, self titled "Foreigner", in 1977. It was their debut single and their first hit. Foreigner's follow up albums have great songs as well and definitely worth looking into. This song really takes me back. I was 16 years old and hanging out, down the street with my friends, wondering how we were going to kill time lol. Thanks for this video reaction!

    They released this in March 1977 and singles kept dropping all through that year. It was one of the albums I got for Christmas that year. There were so many hits; feels like the first time, cold as ice, long long way from home, woman oh woman, head knocker. Everyone is still just as good as the day with they were brand-new on the radio.

    That was the golden era of song writing, musicianship, and originality. They did not watch youtubes to learn how to coot each other. They sat in rooms for years and played for years at joints and establishments looking into audiences and how they felt.
    Today's musicians are way to impatient and lack depth. That era was about spending years on songs until it was perfect.
    They also created different. They did not pull random tracks and lay down a song. They played together until it was right.
    It will never be the same again

    Foreigner does have another ballad, and it's from the early 90s. It's called I DON'T WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU. You wouldn't even know you were listening to Foreigner, since it's such a mellow song. However, it's one of the sweetest love songs EVER - it was the song my husband and I danced to at our wedding. PLEASE REACT to it soon! Thanks! ✌💖

      They did both crappy 1980s #1 hits. No *ACTUAL* Speedwagon (1970s, preferably written by Gary Richrath rather than Cronin, and live so you get the extended solos), though. Even though I've begged and begged and begged.
      "Golden Country"
      "Ridin' the Storm Out'
      "Son of a Poor Man"
      "157 Riverside Avenue"
      "Like You Do" (you can do a concert from 1979/1980, where they open with "Say You Love Me or Say Goodnight" and follow up with this)
      And yes, "Roll with the Changes" and "Time for Me to Fly". Cronin did write some good songs.
      My luck, we'll get "Keep the Fire Burning", though. Sorry, folks.
