I guess this is where the term 'guilty pleasure' makes sense...cause Foreigner was an influence for me at one point when I was starting to really dig rock beyond the obvious KISS introduction for a teenage boy. I'll defend 'Double Vision' and most of the first album (forget "Cold As Ice" and "Feels Like The First Time"....the killer track was "Long, Long Way From Home"...the only song not written by Mick Jones). 'Head Games' is where it fell down for me....especially hearing Lou Gramm spouting inane drivel about 17 year-old girls. Ick. I've heard the terms "despised" and "crap" levelled in the same breathe as Foreigner so I guess I'm not hip or cool (though that was never a consideration anyway). And I'll gladly confess to Boston's debut, Triumph's "Just A Game" and the first Motley Crue album before Elektra Records decided to try and remix it...oh, and any Ozzy-era Black Sabbath.
