I'm so freaked out ( happy)for all of them except for "Mitch" "Mick" whatever his name is. He cheated so many of the band members out of copyrights on all the songs & Lou Graham was involved with writing almost all of the song's

Lou Gramm will ALWAYS be my favourite Rock vocalist! He had everything, the best range of any singer, belting out a powerful rocker, or an exquisitely beautiful ballad! Also an excellent songwriter, and added to that, had the most incredible stage presence, meaning your eyes were focused on him for the majority of the concert! In conclusion, Lou is genuinely humble and is a fantastic human being. Love you Lou, wish you the very best of health and happiness for the future!

Late 70's /early 80's with Foreigner, Boston, Triumph, Rush, Journey, Styx, Angel, Kansas, Queen, KISS, Van Halen, Aerosmith, REO Speedwagon, Sammy Hagar and April Wine. Yeah, We didn't realize then that we were witnessing the greatest time in Rock music history and it would never be this good ever again. 40 years later these bands are still getting more airplay on radio than new songs do. That is a testament to just how good this era of music was.

I'd be a little more generous on the time, extending the 'great' era to 1986. I really love thew New Wave era and (say) the solo music by Don Henley and Glenn Frey. Double Vision was one of Foreigner's best singles and albums. So was Head Games in '79 and '4' in 1981. Sadly, that album with 'Waiting for a Girl...' signaled the new Journey/crybaby direction the band chose to take, and lost their huge male fan base including myself, permanently. It has never changed the way I feel about the first four albums though. On a broader spectrum, we were going to enter a permanent "everything's all over with" which we've been in since about 1988. It's not just that the tap on great music was turned off then, the tap on EVERYTHING was. The 20th century had 7 remarkable decades from the 1920's-1980's which culturally (not counting the first Depression and wars) were a time of everything thriving, new ideas in clothes, hair styles, auto design and music. Everything was so sped up, especially after World War II, the following decades you could almost pinpoint year by year. And if it wasn't the year you guessed, you'd only be off by a year or two. For example, you had the early, mid and later sections of the '50s, 60's, 70's and '80s. What no one realized then (and you kind of hit on it) is that it was finite. Everything, all the good ideas, were all used up----for good; never to return. In 1920 Americans weren't looking back to the 1860's-1880's musically or in most other ways. The very idea is ridiculous. Today we have the opposite situation. We have all of this tech, tech, tech that's "replaced" everything I mentioned. There's no fun anymore (and I mean WELL before the pandemic). The automotive products of ANY era are a reflection of the time they're produced. With rare, rare exceptions today's vehicles are boring 4-door sedan rental cars, ugly crossovers, SUV's and trucks. That's it. You don't really need to wonder what they're going to be like in 20 years. The way people dress will be the same, music will continue to be gospel/crybaby elongating all of the vowels shit, just like the past 25+ years. Anyone who passed away 30+ years ago, hasn't missed out on anything but tech overkill, mass shootings (which I predict will be worse than ever starting soon) stress and misery. Think that pretty much sums it up!

It's a heavy pop of supreme level. It's not easy to abstain from dancing. Sergey (61), Saint-Petersburg, Russia.

I saw Foreigner in 1980. It was one of the first concerts I saw. April Wine and Rick Derringer were the opening acts. 44 years later and it seems like yesterday. Foreigner was great but it was that night that I realized Rick Derringer is one of the greatest guitarists in history. I still feel that way. But for a 16 year old kid, the entire experience was like nothing I'd ever seen.
