05/16/2008 | They were certainly competent. Their vocalist exhibited talent. But their sound wasn't distinctive; it was similar to a number of other groups. I don't have anything negative to say about them. I just don't have enough positives to strongly recommend them.

05/14/2008 | The best band as far as strength in talent. Lou Gramm has one of the best voices in Rock. He is never given the credit due. He made Foreigner what it was and is today.
The band made such an impact in the 70's and 80's on music and it's direction. They were not only a catalyst to keep Rock flourishing in a time of change and oncoming of differnt music.
They were the most rounded and balanced in talent of any Rock band in the two decades they existed as a group.
There is no doubt that this band is well deserved of a spot in the Rock Hall of Fame. They are one of the best bands of this century.

12/18/2007 | I'm probably prejudiced by having lived through the era of terrible slick gutless corporate rock that this band epitomized, but there is really nothing that they did that left an impression on the music business anywhere except at the cash register. It all just sounded so strategic and processed, mucis as product at its worst..

12/18/2007 | Reasonably good, but not exactly 'cool' and there are many better bands who deserve to get in more.
They'll fight 'Tooth and Nail' to get in though...

09/28/2007 | Are u guys kidding me? Foreigner has sold more records and has more hits than all of these folks! Double Vision is #1 selling album in Atlantic Records history..and their B-side songs are great...today it all about 1 song per album....Give them some love...

04/26/2007 | Foreigner was a great band and put out four really good albums. I am just not sure if they are quite good enough for the Hall.

04/09/2007 | They are ok, but the chances of them being in anytime soon, are as the expression goes are as "Cold As Ice".

02/18/2007 | I love this music with all of heart. Seeing Foreigner live with lead singer Kelly Hansen was an unforgetable experience. In addition to their awesome talent, they connect with the fans, making their love for music and people shine through. I hope they continue to play smaller venues, and maintain the intimacy with their audiences.

12/05/2005 | I've Been Waiting, and so will they. For a long Time.
Cold as ice was a great slice of 70's rock-pop though wasn't it.

08/07/2005 | Great band together and separately as solo artists.
Deserving of this honor, can't believe they aren't in there already...

07/16/2005 | These guys have too many incredible songs not to be in. The R&R HOF is cold as ice. ;-)

Pioneering Arena rock is not an accomplishment to be proud of. Their first couple of albums were good as far as 70's rock goes but they really started laying rotten eggs in the 80's Yuk!

06/16/2005 | Wonderful band, some of the best songs. I love listening to them. Especially when I get stressed out, I can blast their music, drown myself in it, and before I know it I'm singing along, dancing, and having a good time.

05/06/2005 | They were pioneers in Arean Rock along with Journey. They would be a great band to see be inducted.

04/09/2005 | Foreigner is my all time favorite band. From the unforgettable guitar riffs to the vocals, it was all there. Foreigner had many top 10 songs, usually multiple songs per album. The amount of albums sold tells its own story as well. In their heyday, they had top songs, top albums, sold out arenas, they are quite accomplished. Do some research about the band, I bet many people would be shocked to see just how well they really have done. I really believe they deserve a place in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. If they don't make it (which would be a shame) at least I will have the rest of my life to enjoy the wonderful music they have created. It will always have a special place in my heart. You guys rock and I wish you the best of luck!

03/25/2005 | i thought the point of any HOF was to include only the best of the best. and while Foreigner has been around for years and had some hits, they do not represent the best in rock music. but at the same time a rock and roll HOF isn't as concise as a Sports HOF where stats and numbers tend to dictate worth. i find it hard to judge bands b/c music is a much more personal experience to people than whether or not someone hit 660 home runs.

03/25/2005 | Had longevity, a nice run of Top-10s, and a few Klassics that were both upbeat (Cold as Ice and Urgent) and sentimental (Waiting for a Girl Like You and I want to Know What Love Is). And then there's Hot Blooded; cheesy and dated, but a song that I will always remember because it was playing on the radio while I was involved in [you know what] for the very first time]. I think their curriculae vitae supports a nomination.

03/25/2005 | I just extremely dislike Foreigner -- always have, ever since high school. If you're into them, that's fine, I just don't have anything good to say about them.
