Biography

With over 50 million sales to their name, and six multi-platinum albums between 1977 and 1987, Foreigner's place as one of the front-runners of the AOR genre is hard to dispute.

The band was formed when Mick Jones and Ian McDonald recruited Lou Gramm, Dennis Elliott, Al Greenwood and Ed Gagliardi. Their multi-platinum debut album Foreigner was released in 1977. It was an immediate hit with tracks… Read more in Amazon's Foreigner Store

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

On the cover of Foreigner's newest collection, the letters that spell out Complete Greatest Hits are cut out from world currency. For example, there's an A from Antarctica, a T from Trinidad, an M from Mongolia, and so on. At least the drive behind this third greatest-hits compilation (fourth, if you count The Best of Foreigner Live) is clearly admitted. Still, if anyone deserves your money, an argument can be made for guitarist Mick Jones and singer Lou Gramm. They've been through it all, and along the way, they've written a slew of songs you know well enough to perform at karaoke (but never as well, admittedly--Lou has a hell of a voice). Whether you liked them when they rocked ("Cold as Ice," "Hot Blooded," "Juke Box Hero") or preferred the power ballads they were credited with inventing ("Waiting for a Girl Like You," "I Want to Know What Love Is"), this album makes it feel like the very first time again. --Laura Etling

5.0 out of 5 stars All the Hits (And Then Some), June 15, 2002
This review is from: Foreigner - Complete Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
I'm going to admit up front that I'm a casual fan of Foreigner. Until I bought Complete Greatest Hits, the only Foreigner album in my 6,000-plus collection was a cassette copy of 1982's Records: The Best of Foreigner. So you won't hear any carping from me about why didn't Rhino include "(plug in your favorite Foreigner song here)" instead of using "(a song you don't like as well)." When Foreigner first charted in the late-Seventies, disco was threatening to take over the music industry. It was refreshing to hear rock 'n' roll on the radio again. This is simply, track for track, the best single disc overview available. It includes every Top 40 hit (with the glaring exception of 1982's "Breaking Up," No. 26) along with a handful of lesser hits ("Women," No. 41; "Heart Turns to Stone," No. 56), uncharted singles ("Soul Doctor" and "Girl on the Moon"), and album tracks ("Headknocker"). Again, for the casual fan, this is THE Foreigner album to own. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

4.0 out of 5 stars "Complete Greatest Hits" Could Have Been Better!, December 5, 2002
By highway_star (Hallandale, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Foreigner - Complete Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Foreigner emerged on the rock scene in 1977 and released the stunning self titled "Foreigner" album which was followed by "Double Vision", "Head Games", "Foreigner 4" and a string of other great albums. Foreigner was one of the great arena rock bands to come out of the seventies when concerts were affordable and packed with fans who appreciated good old rock n' roll. This Foreigner cd entitled "Complete Greatest Hits" should have been called "Almost Complete Greatest Hits" because there are a number of songs missing that should have been on this collection. Sure the big hits are here such as "Feels Like The First Time", "Cold As Ice", "Hot Blooded", "Double Vision", "Head Games", "Urgent", "Juke Box Hero", etc. but as one reviewer mentioned "Girl On The Moon" could have been deleted and better choices could have been "Until The End Of Time" or "Under The Gun". For die hard Foreigner fans there is also the two cd set entitled "Foreigner Anthology: Jukebox Heros" which is a more complete collection and has songs from both Lou Gramm and Mick Jone's solo careers plus much more. But for less money this "Complete Greatest Hits" must make do. The sound quality is superb and the 19 page booklet includes a nice history of the band and some great pictures. If you enjoy seventies rock then this is a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best single-disc Foreigner complilation., April 4, 2006
This review is from: Foreigner - Complete Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
This is a very good Foreigner compilation and certainly the best single-disc compilation of theirs that you will find. It's got all of the hits, very little in the way of filler (if any) and it has great sound. If you want more than this, get the Definitive Collection, but this should certainly suit the casual Foreigner fan. In my opinion, the Defenitive Collection is a little much and really only for serious fans. This one could suit anyone, really.
