Foreigner is one of the most popular bands classic rock radio has ever produced.

Foreigner burst onto the scene in 1976 with their eponymous release and a year later in a poll conducted by Rolling Stone magazine, Foreigner was named as top new artists. The album was an immediate hit, climbing to number 4 in the Billboard chart. Brit Mick Jones and and Yankee Lou Gramm wrote most of the band's material, including Forigner classics like"Feels Like The First Time" and "Cold As Ice", "Hot Blooded" and "Double Vision".

In 1980, the Mutt Lange-produced 4, spawned "Waiting For A Girl Like You."

Then, in 1984, Foreigner's release of "I Want To Know What Love Is", turned into the band's biggest commercial success. It topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic and featured the New Jersey Mass Choir backing the band. The album, Agent Provocateur, topped the UK album charts and reached number 4 in America.

In 1988, Inside Information offerd the hit singles "Say You Will" and "I Don't Want To Live Without You".

After a brief break-up, Jones and Gramm reunited in 1992, launching a re-formed Foreigner. By 1995, Foreigner was back on the road during the early part of 1995 to promote Mr Moonlight. The album was only a moderate success, even though it was a typical Foreigner record. At their well-attended gigs, however, it was still "Cold As Ice", "Urgent" and "I Want To Know What Love Is" that received the biggest cheers. Gramm was successfully treated for a brain tumour before the band reconvened briefly in 1999. A more substantial reunion took place in 2002 for the band's 25th anniversary tour, with Jones, Gramm, Jacobs and Turgon joined by Tom Gimbel (guitar) and Denny Carmassi (drums).

A new Foreigner line-up was announced in 2005 with Jones, Jacobs and Gimbel joined by Kelly Hansen (vocals; ex-Hurricane), Jason Bonham (drums) and Jeff Pilson (bass; ex-Dokken).

Foreigner remains one of the prime links in the chain that connects hard rock to radio success.
