Results for Foreigner

Foreigner ruled arena rock from the late 1970s to the mid-'80s. Taking its name from the fact that the original members were drawn from both sides of the Atlantic, Foreigner's '77 self-titled debut marked its early transatlantic success. The band's Bad Company-like hard rock on top of no-brainer power ballads served a healthy mix of hit singles. Hits from the debut included "Feels Like The First Time," "Cold As Ice" and "Long Long Way From Home." 1978's Double Vision dished out more solid rock, offering the steamiest tune of the time, "Hot Blooded." Into the '80s, some reshaping within Foreigner took place as a new wave of records faced the new decade. The band's nuts-and-beer sound turned to more contemporary, soft rock staples like synth-washed "Waiting For A Girl Like You" and the ultimate power ballad, "I Want To Know What Love Is."

  • Elvis Costello: Armed Forces

    by Franklin BrunoJanuary 14, 2009Comments (4)

    Costello’s ungentle judgment of Americans raised the stakes: “We hate you. We only come here for the money... We’re the original white boys, you’re the colonials.” The May 5, 1979 RS “Random Notes” item, reported from information offered by Bramlett, gives this as a general pronouncement to the “barroom crowd”; in other reconstructions, it is a response to a fan’s questions. Either way, this is fairly self-damning as insults go, splitting the difference (read more)
