I think you're forgetting how many ballads Foreigner had on their first two albums - "Woman Oh Woman", "At War With the World", "Fool For You Anyway" all of which are from the first album alone. From "Double Vision", you have "You're All I Am", "Back Where You Belong" and "I Have Waited So Long". The "Head Games" album rocked pretty much throughout. Foreigner "4" had "Waiting For A Girl Like You" and "Girl On The Moon". All of the rest, while not all rockers, were at least mid-tempo song that you would not find on Adult Contemporary radio stations.
This whole album is fantastic, and this song is one of my faves from it! I had been hearing singles that I liked from it, so I bought it the day it came out and then played the hell out of it for years. Nice reaction!
Finally!!!! The Greatest Bluesy Foreigner Song Ever!!! It's A Heavy Pandora's Box of Lyrical Genius!!! The Blistering Memories of Another Janky Soul-Less Sista Gone Wrong! Those Heavy Riffs Are On Full Display With Most Of Foreigner's 70's Sound!!
this is the first foreigner song i remember hearing on the radio in '78. i knew immediately i was going to love them. for good reason. 25 years old at the time with my life in front of me. now i can barely even see it in my rear view !
Heh, this was one of the first 45 rpm records I bought as a kid. This is from their second album, titled Double Vision. "Double Vision" and "Hot Blooded" were the other two singles. Both of them are hard rock bangers that ruled the radio for months. The singles from their first album got a lot of radio play too -- "Cold As Ice", "Feels Like the First Time", "Long, Long Way from Home", even "Starrider", what you might call their obligatory seventies space epic.
One of my favorite songs, seen Foreigner live, was a awesome concert! Thank you for sharing! They have many more great songs. Excellent material for you to check out!
Harri, virtually every tune off the first two Foreigner albums are great. Starrider and Headknocker are two songs that get little to no airplay but they are superb.
Loved your reaction, Harri...Foreigner is a "rock and roll" band!! Months back when I first joined I requested Foreigner's "Waiting For A Girl Like You" and "Dirty White Boy". I loved your reaction to both but especially Dirty White Boy as you were convinced Foreigner was a ballad band.Greybeard commented, was complimentary of my selections and mentioned that Blue Morning, Blue Day was a favorite of his. So, I was hoping down the road that I would request it before someone else and be able to dedicate it to Greybeard. I hope he's out there watching.
That was very kind of you Neal ! When I was back in college, I had an album by Poco, and the best song was Crazy Eyes. In dorms, people don't return things..lol ! I searched everywhere for it in every "big book" and it said the album didn't exist! When I started my channel on here, I found it posted by somebody named "greybeard," so, of course I thought I would never meet the person, and here we are ! Even way back then, I knew he had to be a cool person to have that great song! He and I both loved Emerson, Lake & Palmer (collectively and individually), even after Keith Emerson died. So, kudos to you for your dedication! ✌💫
@@User_vfjp_927_baltimore_sc Thank you...I first remember Poco in the late 70's and their single, "Crazy Love". Had never heard of "Crazy Eyes" or the album of the same name until I saw your comment. Sitting here reading about Poco and their history. I knew Eagles' bassist, Timothy B. Schmidt, was a former member of Poco but I wasn't aware that the Eagles' original bassist, Randy Meisner, was also a former member. Listening to Crazy Eyes for the first time as I type. That's a cool story how you crossed paths with Greybeard not once but twice. He's a classy guy - a good guy, and I was pleased to get to suggest Blue Morning, Blue Day for him.
@@pncombies I do the same, like to go back and find connections of band members to other bands way back when! Listened to Greg Lake when he was in King Crimson, and then Carl Palmer moved on to the band Asia, and Steve Howe (in Asia) was in the band Yes! Fun to get the history!
This was the B side to "I Have Waited So Long". Blue was a metaphor for misery in this song. They repeated the same guitar and keyboards sounds that were successful in "Cold as Ice". Lots more Foreigner to explore.Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and pnCombie for another great trip back down the road. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I love early Foreigner. If you still take requests from YT, check out "Rev on the Red Line" another often overlooked gem by them. Enjoyed your reaction.
it has been a long time since i have heard this song it was on the album double vision i bought when joining a rca record club thanks for bringing it up
Would love for you to react to either "Starrider", "The Damage Is Done" or "At War With The World". Can't go wrong with any of those, in addition to all the other great requests. They have so many great songs in their catalog. Thanks Harri!
One of my favorite Foreigner songs. Go back to their first album and check out “Long, Long Way From Home”
The 70s Foreigner was the best especially this LP every song was just awesome
Well brother man I appreciate you sharing my Sunday morning with me getting me out of the funk I was in I hope you have a great day man
So glad you found this! Lou Gramm's voice is amazing! Saw them on the Head Games and Agent Provocateur tours!
Foreigner's first three albums were basically hard rock, the 4th album (called " 4 "), the music started becoming more ballad oriented

It’s been a long time since I heard this great song. I love it. Harri’s enthusiasm is icing on the cake 🌺✌️
Love this entire album.
Anything Foreigner is good with me. Great choice Pncombies. 👍👍👍👍
Thanks, brother!
Foreigner is great. They could roll out a ballad, bang out a hard rocking tune, or get a bit more theatrical like with this song.
Very underated song.

Never heard this song.really liked it
Blue morning and As cold as ice ate their best hit.
This was the B side to "I Have Waited So Long".
Blue was a metaphor for misery in this song. They repeated the same guitar and keyboards sounds that were successful in "Cold as Ice".
Lots more Foreigner to explore.Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and pnCombie for another great trip back down the road. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
So many great ones and this was one if not their first tune they recorded together!
Lou gramm could sing anything, & I mean anything!!!
Love this!
I love early Foreigner. If you still take requests from YT, check out "Rev on the Red Line" another often overlooked gem by them. Enjoyed your reaction.
Harribest, "Cold As Ice" 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great song ! I remember the first time I heard "I Want To Know What Love Is," with the choir ! Thanks Neal and thanks always to Harri !🎶🎸
You're welcome, Ginny.
☮️❤️🔥🔥🔥🎵🎶🎵🎶...😎
What a great pick!
A classic. Also check out Starrider and Long Long Way from Home from the debut album.
This whole album rocks Harri
it has been a long time since i have heard this song it was on the album double vision i bought when joining a rca record club thanks for bringing it up
A great song!

Excellent choice for Greybeard Neal. Foreigner has some great selections. ☮
Thank you, Cynthia.
Great Album
This was off their second album, which managed to be even better than their debut.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
BREAK IT UP is one of their great songs.
A song i don't think anyone has suggested David Cassidy "Lyin to myself" from his 1990 solo album as well as "Labor of love" "You remember me"
FROM THEIR 2ND ALBUM ( DOUBLE VISION ) HARRI 😊 WITHE 2 MAIN HITS BEING : HOT BLOODED & THE TITLE TRACK😊
Check out Foreigner 's "Rev On The Red Line ".
Try Foreigner - That Was Yesterday
REV ON THE RED LINE.
Try Rev on the Red line, great early song by the band
Hi Harri want to put in a request for christy moore cliffs of doneen or nancy Spain just something a little bit different. Cheers Irish Mark
I ll get even with you off Head Games album
Listen to "Starrider"
If react to Foreigner, react to Lou Graham foreigner.
Dude, that's like saying, "If you react to Journey, react to Steve Perry Journey." C'mon, man - Lou Graham IS Foreigner!! 😎
Make no mistake they were a ROCK band! The ballads eventually led to their demise
