Taking a few years off after their big 1984 hit album, AGENT PROVOCATEUR, Mick Jones and Lou Gramm reunited Foreigner for their 1987 release, INSIDE INFORMATION. While it wasn't as big a smash as their last album, INSIDE INFORMATION proved to be another consistent collection of rockers and ballads. Standouts include such titles as "Out of the Blue," "A Night to Remember," "Say You Will," "Heart Turns to Stone," and the title track. By Foreigner's next album however, 91's UNUSUAL HEAT, Gramm had left the band.

With their accessible AOR sound, Foreigner made it OK for pop fans to listen to hard rock in the '70s. American singer Lou Gramm and UK guitarist Mick Jones (formerly of Spooky Tooth, not to be confused with the Clash guitarist) are responsible for some of classic rock's most instantly recognizable anthems ("Hot Blooded," "Cold As Ice," etc.); however, mammoth hit ballads like the sinisterly seductive "Waiting For a Girl Like You" and the anomalous, gospel-inflected "I Want to Know What Love Is" launched a second life for the band in the 1980s as purveyors of soft rock ballads.
