![]() ![]() I hope my readers love Foreigner as much as I do and have a good time while reminding themselves of those remarkable classics! I decided to include songs sung only by Lou Gramm. ![]() Besides, I would never miss another chance of listening to those loved songs of mine. Even though, picking up favorite songs from their extensive music catalog has to be the most difficult thing in the world, I really wanted to list some of my favorite Foreigner tunes on my blog – songs that really mean a lot to me for one reason or another. The amount of exceptional rock tunes you can find on those records goes beyond. Not to mention that they sold more than 80 million records worldwide… Yes, to reach to such highs and succeed so massively, you need to have excellent musicianship skills and know how to make splendid rock tunes that can reach to and have a special effect on people… Well, they sure as hell knew how to do that! Throughout the years, they released phenomenal records, such as “Double Vision” (1978), “Head Games” (1979), my two personal favorites – “4” (1981) and “Agent Provocateur” (1984) and many more. 2017 also saw them record a live performance in Switzerland alongside a 58-piece orchestra and 60-piece choir. …Of course, the fact that they are one of the best-selling rock bands of all time proves that apparently I’m not the only one who carries such deep affection for them. Foreigner continued to tour throughout the 2010s, releasing the Acoustique album in 2011 and celebrating their 40th anniversary in 2017 with the aptly titled hits compilation 40. That’s how I feel about Foreigner – they are just that important to me! Can we also talk about Lou Gramm whose vocals are EVERYTHING (at least to me)! His ability to kill those high notes and his tough, yet gentle vocal delivery are just a few of the reasons why I consider him as one of the most talented and notable rock vocalists ever! As I previously said, it can be so challenging to find a band whose music completes you in each and every way possible – it’s like they wrote all these songs ESPECIALLY for you, knowing exactly what you like and you look for in a song. Tour concert aside, at least what I always had and always will have is their brilliant music I’ve been listening to since as long as I can remember. There are a handful of bands I can point out for certain as my ultimate favorites due to their music matching my taste and personality 100%…and Foreigner is one of those bands! Imagine my emotional state, when I found out that they will be performing in my native country and I won’t be able to attend due to studying abroad…!? I’m still devastated and I’m not sure I will ever get over it. In addition to the memories, deep appreciation and respect I have for them, their music is what has always been there for me. They are probably one of the most important bands of my childhood and the first classic rockers I got into. Everyone who knows me is well aware of the fact that Foreigner and I go way back. ![]()
