Foreigner is a band that has helped define classic rock radio for decades. They have a catalog of hits that most bands only dream of. Those tracks helped the British-American band sell over 80 million albums worldwide.
Foreigner’s success is thanks, in large part, to the songwriting team of guitarist Mick Jones and former singer Lou Gramm. While the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame hasn’t bothered to even acknowledge Foreigner with a nomination, Jones and Gramm were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2013.
Foreigner has had many lineup changes over the decades, but the constant has always been Jones, who started the band in 1976. After nearly 50 years, Foreigner is saying goodbye. They kicked off their farewell tour on July 6 in Alpharetta, Ga.
When the tour was announced, Jones said in a statement, “While I’m sure our fans will have mixed feelings about the end of the road for the band, I know our shows are going to delight audiences everywhere.”
In honor of their farewell tour and their incredible run, here’s our ranking of Foreinger’s ten best songs.
