Foreigner continued its Platinum winning streak on "Head Games". By the time it was released, FM radio had fully embraced bands like Foreigner, Journey and Boston, whose slick Hard Rock was tough enough to appeal to suburban teens, but smooth enough to be non-threatening to their parents. Tailor-made for the airwaves, "Dirty White Boy" and "Head Games" kept Foreigner at the top of the arena rock heap as the decade came to a close; and the supergroup's successes would continue well into the '80s.
Recorded at Atlantic Studios in New York, with additional recording and whole mixing taking place at Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, it was the only Foreigner album co-produced by Roy Thomas Baker, best known for working on Queen's classic albums. The album marked the first appearance of new bass guitarist Rick Wills (formerly of Jokers Wild, Roxy Music and Small Faces) who replaced Ed Gagliardi (who was fired from the band), and was the last album with founding members Ian McDonald and Al Greenwood, who would leave the band after the recording. "Head Games" is also the last Foreigner album to feature a lead vocal by guitarist Mick Jones ("The Modern Day").
The model in the photograph on the front cover is American actress and film producer Lisanne Falk. According to Foreigner lead singer, Lou Gramm, "the girl is being naughty, erasing graffiti in the restroom. She's looking at whoever buys the album. She's been caught". The cover art was criticized by feminists. According to Miami Herald critic, Bill Ashton, "the cover art is a play on the album title". Atlantic Records publicity director Stuart Ginsburg pointed out that "head is a naval term for bathroom" and Foreigner's media coordinator Susan Steinberg stated that "the girl on the cover is shocked by the graffiti. It's not like somebody is attacking her".
In August 1979, the release of the album was preceded by its first single, the Hard Rock song "Dirty White Boy", which peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The next singles were the title track and "Women", which reached number 14 and 41, respectively.
The album itself continued Foreigner's popularity, climbing to number 5 on the Billboard 200 chart and receiving a Platinum certification four months after it hit the stores. As of 2017, Head Games has gained a 5× Platinum status for selling at least 5 million copies in the United States.

Although Punk Rock's furious revolution threatened to overthrow rock's old guard in 1977, bands like Foreigner came along and proved that there was plenty of room in the marketplace for both the violent, upstart minimalism of Punk and the airbrushed slickness of what would be called "Arena Rock". Along with Boston, Journey, Heart, and others, Foreigner celebrated professionalism over raw emotion. And, looking back, it's easy to see why they sold millions; not everyone in the world was pissed off, dissatisfied with the economy, or even necessarily looking for a change. In fact, for most suburban American teens, Foreigner's immaculate Rock sound was the perfect soundtrack for cruising through well-manicured neighborhoods in their Chevy Novas.
The album spawned some of the biggest FM hits of 1977, including the anthemic "Feels Like the First Time", "Cold as Ice" and "Long, Long Way from Home", which were anchored (like most of Foreigner's songs) by the muscular but traditional riffing of lead guitarist and co-founder Mick Jones, the soaring vocals of Lou Gramm, and the state-of-the-Art Rock production values of the day, which allowed the band to sound hard but polished. It also features album tracks such as "Headknocker" and "Starrider", the latter of which features a rare lead vocal from Mick Jones.
As pure Rock craftsmanship goes, Foreigner was as good as it got in the late '70s.
The album peaked at #4 on Billboard and became five times Platinum, selling 5 million copies.

Foreigner promptly followed up its blockbuster debut with the equally successful, which featured mega-hits "Hot Blooded" and the driving title track. Opting not to mess with a good formula, the band wisely sticks to the polished Hard Rock sound that made its first record such a hit. A fine collection of songs that is Hard Rock at its best, "Double Vision" has more individualistic interpretations and a Heavy Metal tonal structure instead of some of the careful harmonies of the debut album. Recorded between March-May 1978, it was Foreigner's only album co-produced by Keith Olsen and the last recording with bass guitarist Ed Gagliardi, who would be later replaced by Rick Wills.
"Tramontane" is the only instrumental track Foreigner have released to date on a studio album. Mick Jones takes the lead vocals on "Back Where You Belong" and "I Have Waited So Long".
The lead single, released in June 1978, was "Hot Blooded," which reached number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In September, it was followed by "Double Vision", which charted at number 2. This was the highest position Foreigner had attained to that time. The third and final single, "Blue Morning, Blue Day", was released in December and climbed to number 15 on the chart.
The album peaked at number 3 on the Billboard 200 chart and earning Platinum certification a week after its release. It has now been certified 7× Platinum for sales in excess of 7 million units and is counted as Foreigner's best selling album. In Europe, however, "Double Vision" reached the Top 40 only in the United Kingdom.

Foreigner continued its Platinum winning streak on "Head Games". By the time it was released, FM radio had fully embraced bands like Foreigner, Journey and Boston, whose slick Hard Rock was tough enough to appeal to suburban teens, but smooth enough to be non-threatening to their parents. Tailor-made for the airwaves, "Dirty White Boy" and "Head Games" kept Foreigner at the top of the arena rock heap as the decade came to a close; and the supergroup's successes would continue well into the '80s.
Recorded at Atlantic Studios in New York, with additional recording and whole mixing taking place at Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, it was the only Foreigner album co-produced by Roy Thomas Baker, best known for working on Queen's classic albums. The album marked the first appearance of new bass guitarist Rick Wills (formerly of Jokers Wild, Roxy Music and Small Faces) who replaced Ed Gagliardi (who was fired from the band), and was the last album with founding members Ian McDonald and Al Greenwood, who would leave the band after the recording. "Head Games" is also the last Foreigner album to feature a lead vocal by guitarist Mick Jones ("The Modern Day").
The model in the photograph on the front cover is American actress and film producer Lisanne Falk. According to Foreigner lead singer, Lou Gramm, "the girl is being naughty, erasing graffiti in the restroom. She's looking at whoever buys the album. She's been caught". The cover art was criticized by feminists. According to Miami Herald critic, Bill Ashton, "the cover art is a play on the album title". Atlantic Records publicity director Stuart Ginsburg pointed out that "head is a naval term for bathroom" and Foreigner's media coordinator Susan Steinberg stated that "the girl on the cover is shocked by the graffiti. It's not like somebody is attacking her".
In August 1979, the release of the album was preceded by its first single, the Hard Rock song "Dirty White Boy", which peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The next singles were the title track and "Women", which reached number 14 and 41, respectively.
The album itself continued Foreigner's popularity, climbing to number 5 on the Billboard 200 chart and receiving a Platinum certification four months after it hit the stores. As of 2017, Head Games has gained a 5× Platinum status for selling at least 5 million copies in the United States.

Foreigner promptly followed up its blockbuster debut with the equally successful, which featured mega-hits "Hot Blooded" and the driving title track. Opting not to mess with a good formula, the band wisely sticks to the polished Hard Rock sound that made its first record such a hit. A fine collection of songs that is Hard Rock at its best, "Double Vision" has more individualistic interpretations and a Heavy Metal tonal structure instead of some of the careful harmonies of the debut album. Recorded between March-May 1978, it was Foreigner's only album co-produced by Keith Olsen and the last recording with bass guitarist Ed Gagliardi, who would be later replaced by Rick Wills.
"Tramontane" is the only instrumental track Foreigner have released to date on a studio album. Mick Jones takes the lead vocals on "Back Where You Belong" and "I Have Waited So Long".
The lead single, released in June 1978, was "Hot Blooded," which reached number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In September, it was followed by "Double Vision", which charted at number 2. This was the highest position Foreigner had attained to that time. The third and final single, "Blue Morning, Blue Day", was released in December and climbed to number 15 on the chart.
The album peaked at number 3 on the Billboard 200 chart and earning Platinum certification a week after its release. It has now been certified 7× Platinum for sales in excess of 7 million units and is counted as Foreigner's best selling album. In Europe, however, "Double Vision" reached the Top 40 only in the United Kingdom.

Over the course of their first three late-'70s albums, Foreigner had firmly established themselves (along with Journey and Styx) as one of the top AOR bands of the era. But the band was still looking for that grand slam of a record that would push them to the very top of the heap. Released in 1981, "4" would be that album. In producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange (fresh off his massive success with AC/DC's "Back In Black") guitarist and all-around mastermind Mick Jones found both the catalyst to achieve this and his perfect musical soulmate. Lange's legendary obsessive attention to detail and Jones' highly disciplined guitar heroics (which he never allowed to get in the way of a great song) resulted in a collaboration of unprecedented, sparkling efficiency where not a single note is wasted.
The album was originally titled "Silent Partners" and later was changed to "4", reflecting both the fact that it was Foreigner's fourth album and that the band's membership had reduced from six to four members. Musically, it showed Foreigner shifting from Hard Rock to more accessible mainstream Rock and Pop music. The release of "4" coincided with the launch of MTV later that August.
"Nightlife" is only the first in a series ("Woman in Black", "Don't Let Go", the '50s-tinged "Luanne") of energetic, nearly flawless melodic Rockers, and with "Juke Box Hero", the band somehow managed to create both a mainstream Hit Single and a highly unique-sounding track, alternating Heavy Metal guitar riffing, chorused vocals, and one of the ultimate "wanna be a Rock Star" lyrics. As for the mandatory power ballad, the band also reached unparalleled heights with "Waiting for a Girl Like You". One of the decade's most successful cross-genre tearjerkers, it has since become a staple of Soft Rock radio and completely eclipsed the album's other very lovely ballad, "Girl on the Moon", in the process. And last but not least, the surprisingly Funky "Urgent" proved to be one of the band's most memorable and uncharacteristic smash hits, thanks to Junior Walker's signature saxophone solo. Through it all, vocalist Lou Gramm does his part, delivering a dazzling performance that confirmed his status as one of the finest voices of his generation. Mick Jones has rated three of the songs from "4" ("Urgent", "Juke Box Hero" and "Girl on the Moon") among his 11 favorite Foreigner songs.
"4" was a commercial success worldwide, holding the No. 1 position on the Billboard 200 chart for a total of 10 weeks. It eventually sold over six million copies in the U.S. alone. Several of its singles were hits, including "Urgent", "Waiting for a Girl Like You" and "Juke Box Hero".
Three years later, Foreigner would achieve even greater success on a Pop level with the uneven "Agent Provocateur", but by then Jones and Gramm were locked in an escalating war of egos that would soon lead to the band's demise. All things considered, "4" remains Foreigner's career peak.

It took Foreigner three years to release a follow-up to its 1981 blockbuster, "4". Released on December 14, 1984, it's the band's only number-one album on the United Kingdom Albums Chart, and it reached the top five on the United States Billboard 200. Perhaps that wait wasn't long enough, because "Agent Provocateur" is a prime example of the best and worst traits of AOR – a handful of remarkable songs padded by toothless filler.
Despite contributing a few killer riffs to Foreigner's '70s canon, guitarist/keyboardist Mick Jones isn't known for his six-string abilities. His biggest strength is his knack for melody as a songwriter, keyboardist, and producer, and all these qualities are evident on "Agent Provocateur". Of course, vocalist/songwriter Lou Gramm is indispensable as the band's golden-throated frontman. Jones largely guided things behind the studio console, but a co-producer usually helped, such as Alex Sadkin on this album.
"I Want to Know What Love Is" became Foreigner's first and only number one single, and it's not hard to see why. Its dreamy, hypnotic feel is due in part to Gramm's soulful lead vocals and the New Jersey Mass Choir's background vocals. Jennifer Holliday and the Thompson Twins' Tom Bailey help out as well. "That Was Yesterday", a terrific hit single, features a catchy chorus and a nifty synthesizer lick. "Reaction to Action" and "Down on Love" were both minor hits, but there's a huge difference in quality between the two; the former is the epitome of bland, formulaic AOR, while the latter includes a pleasant chorus and a warm keyboard melody. "A Love in Vain" and "Growing Up the Hard Way" are great too.
Although album sales were lower than their previous work in the US, it contains the band's biggest hit single, "I Want to Know What Love Is", which is their only #1 single on the UK singles chart and the US Billboard Hot 100, staying at the top spot for three and two weeks, respectively. The follow-up single, "That Was Yesterday", also proved to be a sizeable hit, peaking at #12 in the US. The album was certified Platinum in the UK by the BPI, and triple Platinum in the US by the RIAA.
