Even though Boston, Heart, and Styx, among others, deserve credit for
inventing '70s arena rock, no band parlayed the stadium sound with such
dependable know-how as Foreigner. The key to the band's suc-cess has been
main man Mick Jones. A battle-scarred, hit-savvy veteran who played with
the artful organ-rock outfit Spooky Tooth before founding platinum-selling
Foreigner, Jones is not only a master of the hook but also a guitarist of
unerring efficiency. In Foreigner's early days, former King Crimson
multi-instrumentalist Ian McDonald added a touch of class, but Jones' passion
for a streamlined sound meant that the band was soon reduced to a smarter,
trimmer rhythm-section core.

And, of course, there's ace vocalist Lou Gramm. Not quite a stylist on the
order of Bad Company's Paul Rodgers, Gramm is still one of the finest singers
in all of pop metal. Gramm's gift lay in roughening up Jones' shimmering
grooves; Gramm brought an R&B, almost bluesy style to bear on the band's
rockers, and in time, he became the Pavarotti of the power ballad.

Foreigner's catalogue of car-stereo hits is nearly unrivaled: "Feels Like the
First Time," "Cold as Ice" (Foreigner); "Hotblooded" (Double Vision); "Dirty
White Boy" (Head Games); "Waiting for a Girl Like You" (4). The canny Jones
kept the sound fresh by working with different producers on each album and
supplying the perfect surprising flourish (Junior Walker's sax coda on
"Urgent," for example) for each hit. The band's high point came with Agent
Provocateur's "I Want to Know What Love Is" -- backed by a gospel choir,
Gramm belted away with commendable anguish. Inside Information also
displayed his growth as a vocalist, and the record's synth-work saw Foreigner
keeping pace with the times. By the time of Unusual Heat, however, Jones
had asked Gramm to depart. New singer Johnny Edwards was
ultracompetent, but he hadn't yet developed a distinctive style. Heat marked
a return to Foreigner's reliable, full-out rocking standard. A complete
comeback in terms of original vision didn't take place until 1995's Mr.
Moonlight, for which Gramm was coaxed back into the fold. It was solid rock,
but Foreigner's moment had long passed. Records is the group's tightest
greatest-hits collection. Every bar band in the world has burned out several
copies.
