Foreigner albums

[Faron]

One of my favourite bands, so many great albums!

 

How would you rate their albums from best to worse with standout tracks?

 

Thought I`d done a similar thread but can`t find it!

 

This probably changes with me....

 

4 (Don`t Let Go / Urgent / Woman In Black)

Double Vision (Tramontane / Spellbinder / Blue Morning, Blue Day)

Head Games (Head Games / I`ll Get Even With You / Blinded By Science)

Foreigner (Headknocker / Cold As Ice / The Damage Is Done)

Agent Provocateur (That Was Yesterday / A Love In Vain / Down On Love)

Mr Moonlight (Hand On My Heart / Rain / Until The End Of Time)

Inside Information (Say You Will / I Don`t Want To Live Without You / Out Of The Blue)

[heaven&hell]

I had The Very Best and Beyond release on cassette and used to play the hell out of it but the only actual studio release I ever owned/own is Unusual Heat which I loved. I will buy the new one with Kelly Hanson on vox if it ever comes out.

[Dead Planet]

Exactly in the order they were released

 

Foreigner

Double Vision

Head Games

4

 

Wasn't impressed by anything I've heard after the first 4....of course I haven't heard any of those releases in many years....maybe I should consider picking up 1 or 2 of them...any suggestions??

Get them onto your want list Wes, great albums, ironically the only one I`ve never heard is Unusual Heat

[JC_AOR]

My favourites are probably 4 followed by Double Vision, but Mr. Moonlight always gets overlooked and IMO is a brilliant album...give it another spin

[Jez]

Classic band, with each and every one of these albums having some fantastic stuff on them. Here goes:

Foreigner

Mr Moonlight

Agent Provocateur

Head Games

Inside Information

Double Vision

Unusual Heat

[Nick C]

Head Games (title track is brilliant)

Foreigner

4

Double Vision

Inside Information

Agent Provocater.

 

After Inside Information I kinda fell out of love with them and sold my albums.

But I did rebuy 4 on CD and it's the only one I own at the moment (which makes a mockery of me placing it 3rd in my list) but I've been toying with the idea of buying the others recently...so I guess I will at some point.

Backed...That best of cd can't be topped by any best of cd. That would be my vote. Great band!

My fav as well.

[Faron]

Can`t go wrong with Compilations but I tend to find some of the best songs aren`t on them

[Jez]

'The Very Best Of And Beyond..' was a really excellent Foreigner compilation, due to the fact that it had 3 really killer new tracks on it.

There are always exceptions matey, trust you to spot them

Unfortunately, I don`t have this!

[Geoff]

1. 'Mr Moonlight' - Rain, White Lie, All I Need to Know, Running the Risk and Hand On My Heart. All killer songs, by far their best disc, imo.

 

Of the others, I'd have to pass on them. 'Say you will' is a nice track off 'Inside information' and I honestly admit I don't mind 'I Want to Know What Love Is'. I probably wouldn't mind hearing thier best of either, but I've owned all the 80's albums and none really did anything for me at all. For me there is nothing to contest 'Mr Moonlight'.

[Jimbo]

Unlike Geoff who has trouble with good music and the correct spelling of his first name, I really like the 80s albums and not much else. I'd put Foreigner's albums in the following order:

 

1. Foreigner - Headknocker, Starrider, Cold As Ice

2. Head Games - Head Games, Rev On the Red Line, Do What You Like

3. Double Vision - Blue Morning Blue Day, Hot Blooded, Double Vision

4. 4 - Well...okay, this one's only so-so

5. All the other 80s albums

6. A blank disc

7. Mr. Moonlight.

[Geoff]

Unlike Geoff who has trouble with good music

I disagree, and luckily I need not travel far to prove my point:

5. All the other 80s albums

6. A blank disc

7. Mr. Moonlight.

Mr Moonlight is a very good album mate, shame you haven`t listened to their wonderful 70`s albums though

 

All great stuff

Mostly the classic Schenker era...that's the stuff I first got into first. Also really like the Paul Chapman albums, and even Misdemeanor with Atomik Tommy M. Can't say that the albums with Vinnie Moore do too much for me though. I guess I still think of him as one of those Shrapnel guys from the 80's.
