Distributor: WEA (Distributor) Notes: A quick survey of the mammoth two-disc NO END IN SIGHT reveals a string of some of classic rock radio's most enduring hits. From "It Feels Like the First Time" on through to the '70s cruising anthems "Juke Box Hero" and "Hot Blooded," it's a virtual catalogue of classic rock's most played songs. As the decades passed, ballads such as "Waiting for a Girl Like You" and the '80s megahit "I Want to Know What Love Is" demonstrated that Foreigner could musically evolve as well.
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.
