Lou Gramm is one of the greatest voices in the entire music history. Period.

Foreigner 4 was one of the albums that everyone had to have in their collection. Next cut should be Juke Box Hero.

Loved her reaction to this classic song. Now she needs to hear "I Want to Know What Love Is"

Here's one Foreigner song that definitely deserves more recognition: "Blue Morning, Blue Day."

FUN FACT: Waiting For A Girl like You was actually used in Season 1 of Stranger Things! ✌️👍

Love this one... and "I want to know what love is"... Such a masterpiece!! 😍

This song was on Stranger Things season 1 episode 3.

Foreigner, Journey, Styx 3 great 80's bands with outstanding music

It's totally ridiculous that foreigner is not in the rock and roll hall of fame! They have so many great hits. The rock and roll hall of fame should be ashamed of themselves.

Urgent is my favorite from Foreigner. Lou is the shit

Thanks for playing. I've known Lou for 20 years. Amazing singer to this day. Much appreciated..

Yes, the band Foreigner was used in Stranger Things. The song "Waiting for a Girl Like You" was featured in Season 1, Episode 3. It was playing in the background when Jonathan and Nancy were investigating the Byers' house. The song was a hit in the 1980s, and it fits well with the setting of Stranger Things. It's a catchy song that helps to create a sense of nostalgia for the era. ~BARD A.I.

This is one of my favorite songs of theirs. They have a bunch of great songs. I love Lou’s voice too. Great singer.

Foreigner...another of those classic rock bands, that I feel so blessed to have grown up with. While I may be past my prime now, I wouldn't trade experiencing those those years for nothing. Juke Box Hero is probably my favorite Foreigner song(you need to do that one at some point). Don't know what it is, but the intro to JBH just gets me every time!

One of the albums I'm sure everyone picked on their Columbia House 12 Casettes for a Penny.

Burch I am so glad that the two of you did this song. What a fantastic song to show a young lady of today. This song is nothing but total class. When this song came out, I was in seventh grade at a school dance. I’ll never forget it…. Great song choice buddy.

I'm 50( ish )and as I watch all of these reaction videos of songs I grew up with it hits home how much amazing music came out of the 70's & 80's. I would submit that a lot of music from this generation completely obliterates pretty much anything from the last 20 years.

Fun Fact: The synthesizers on this album were mostly played by Thomas Dolby ("She Blinded Me With Science," "Hyperactive," "Europa and the Pirate Twins," etc.)

Foreigner 4 was iconic. The album art grabs you right from jump. Anyone who's ever seen the old-school lead-in countdown from the physical film projectors of yesteryear immediately recognizes it. The sound was unprecedented at the time. It was released near the dawn of the CD player's popularity, though most still listened on vinyl or cassette tape. But the production values and the arrangements were ground breaking for their time. Foreigner 4 was a wall of audio stimulation that moved and inspired our imaginations and made our heads explode with auditory delight. We dreamt of being the Jukebox Hero. We felt the urgency of "Urgent" and that amazing rubber band delay effect on the opening guitar riff and the soul bending sax solo. This album solidified Foreigner as a Rock and Roll royalty and placed the "no doubt" stamp on their careers, affirming all of the great work they had released on previous projects. It was like, 1977, great debut self-titled album, you're on the map. But can you do it again? Then with 1978's Double Vision, the 2nd and 1979's Head Games, their 3rd releases, the answer was a resounding, "Hell yes we can!" And 1981's 4 was like, that line from Remember the Titans when coach said, "Run it up. Leave no doubt. Make sure they remember [the name Foreigner]. Can't wait 'til you guys return for some more Foreigner.

Ok now introduce her to JukeBox Hero.

That intro is like a time capsule back to the 80s it makes u feel nostalgic even if you weren’t around yet

As good as Lou Gramm is, I still always felt his voice was underrated.

Your Channel is awesome,keep up the great work 👏🏻👏🏻

Journey, Foreigner. Now we need Styx and REO. I don't think Alexis would know them.

Hey birch a special request KIX! COLD BLOOD! KIX IS RETIRING AFTER 40 + YRS, their last gig seot 17 MERRIWEATHER POST PAVILION! a tribute to your old BALTIMORE FANS! Not alot if any reactions or love for oneof most underrated bands! Alexis will loveSteve Whitemans unique vocals and his frontmanship from which most of your hair metal singers emulated! By the way he still sounds exactly like he did 40 yrs ago very rare! God Bless you both !

One of my favorites 😢💓🤘✌️

Buried deep in the super lost foreigner archives... is in my humble opinion, their second greatest ballad... "All I am" - Please Spin this Incredible ballad.. which has mind blowing lyrics!

This is one of those songs where if it's on the radio in the car, you've reached your destination, but you will sit and listen to it finish before exiting.

What I remember the most about this song is how it spent 10 weeks at #2 in the USA. It just couldn't knock off "Physical" by Olivia Newton-John (10 weeks at #1, #1 song of the 80's). When Physical finally dropped, Hall & Oates jumped up to #1, and that was when Foreigner spent their 10th week at #2.

Lou Gramm killing the vocals 🔥 this song is a forever vibe

As others may have mentioned, Thomas Dolby played the keyboards on this track. Also, the Stranger Things vibe makes sense. The 2 main composers from Stranger Things are part of an electronic band called Survive (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survive_(band)). They're big fans of 80's era analog synthesizers.

One of a number of groups where Mutt Lange produced their biggest selling work. He did it for these guys on this album, The Cars, AC/DC, Def Leppard, Bryan Adams, Shania Twain, etc.

For the next one let Alexis hear "Juke Box Hero" Love that song.

Ahh 😌 this brings back memories from my youth back in the 80’s… 🫶🏾

A good band that wrote good songs. So many good songs. I have a Foreigner playlist that is filled with bangers!

Nobody rocked like Foreigner back in the 70's or 80's.Lou Gramm just had that that voice!

Back in the 70's and 80's we didn't have alt rock. It was just rock. The good old days

Foreigner 4 was the first 8-track I bought in my first car...memories..

I am in my upper 50's. I never thought I would get to the age where there would be a younger gal that has not heard this tune before, as it is so epic. Damn, I got old....

Have her listen to I Want To Know What Love Is by Foreigner

You both are awesome as always. Great reaction❤

I’m 63 so I remember a time when Foreigner came on the radio every time I turned around. My favorite Foreigner song was I Want to Know What Love Is. The video is great too.

If you're going to introduce Alexis to the great rock voices of that era you have to introduce her to Brad Delp. One of my personal favorites is Foreplay/Long Time. Love the music you are doing. Thanks for these videos. Don't forget Reo Speedwagon and Kevin Cronin. Roll with the Changes would be great.

love this song I still remember who I danced with 42 yrs later brings me back to that 7th grade prom

The ultimate teen slow dance song! My teen years were awesome! Great song!

Remember this band listening to them on 8 tracks

Speaking of Lou Gramm's voice... my personal favorite vocal performance of his, is "Break It Up." He doesn't really have a low register, but he can belt out the high notes like few men man. He's not underrated, but I feel like he's really underappreciated. Foreigner just flat out rocked, when they needed to, but wrote and recorded some outstanding ballads.

I think 'Head Games' is the first Foreigner song I remember hearing.. in the back of my parents' 74 Impala when I was 3 😎

This song was a rock staple. I would say still is in many cases. This is the song that everyone waited to slow dance too. The time at the dance if you didn't have a girl you were in the parking lot, because you were to depressed to be in there and listen. Open Arms feel but different, more manly in a way. Like Alexis said, like carmel, voice and song so smooth.

When you said Lou Gramm might be the one .......what a call over Steve Perry ...LOVE THE VIDS....

Perfect love song for the winter nights.

What's goin on here? Dad & daughter? Grandpa & granddaughter? Not family at all?

Yep, Foreigner had just many hits one after the other in the 80s - 90s. Too bad the singer Lou got sick, he had a pea size brain tumor and had surgery. After he couldn't even talk for years, never mine to sing. Took many years of therapy to be able to talk and later sing! Sort of! Lou is 70 years old now! Kelly Hansen replaced Lou, he is also a very good singer!

EVERY time I hear this- it's the Fall of '81, I'm at the local pizza joint after dinner, seeing friends. Cold Fall/Winter that year. This song brings it all back so vividly.... Still love it.

“The coffee not’s good until the spoon stands up…”. Hahahaha, yup… 10W40. Camp coffee, this stuff would put hair on your chest.

Mount Rushmore of rock vocalists: Brad Delp, Steve Perry, Lou Gramm, Brent Smith.

The song that nearly broke the band up!!! Most of them didn’t want to record a slow love ballad and it almost came to blows and ended the band! Good song but not my favourite Foreigner song. Do Juke Box Hero, Dirty White Boy, Cold as Ice, Urgent,…. All classic Foreigner and all much better representation of what the band was all about!! ❤

Apart from the excellent musicians that made up the core band, Foreigner had the help of some expert synth wizards to create the lush textures you hear in this and other songs on "4", among them being Thomas Dolby, of "Blinded Me With Science" fame. "4" still stands as one of the best produced and recorded albums of the 80's and was the height of Foreigner's career.

Stranger things season 1 episode 3 waiting for a girl like you. Good memory Alexis!

I never knew how much Kelly Hansen sounds like Lou until he took over on vocals. But Lou, well, he's still the best Foreigner singer ever.

Lou is from my area of NY. Met him a couple times, and found out his song red line is partially about my uncle. Very nice guy imo.

Foreigner didn't have very much cred here in Sweden as far as I can remember. They were seen as too commercial - much like ABBA - and that wasn't cool. I first found them with "I want to know what love is" which was released in 1984 when I was 14, so maybe it was just that I was a bit too young, I'm not sure.

When "Hot Blooded" came out I was young enough that I thought it was a KISS song because I didn't think I could love a song that much unless it was a KISS song.

Check out "I Don't Want to Live Without You". Watch the official video. Great song.

Great song and voice. . .But the message is only a fantasy. . .That "girl like you" does NOT show up for everyone in real life. . .only in a song like this one. Like most "love" songs, it's only wishful thinking meant to make you feel better for a few minutes. . .Then it's "Poof". . .the fantasy bubble bursts and you're back to real life again. Great voice, yes. . .But it becomes a song that's harder to listen to as time rolls by. . .

I liked this song when it came out, but 6 months later, I couldn't listen to it anymore. Now, 40 plus years later, "Girl on the moon" is still my favorite song of theirs. In my opinion, it's a far better song.

I’m pretty sure ‘Waiting For A Girl Like You’ is in the very first season of Stranger Things. I can’t remember which episode it is, but this song is playing when Nancy and Steve are hooking up in the bedroom, I’m pretty sure it’s this song.

AHHhhhhh... "Waiting For A Girl Like You" by Foreigner. Kinda brings me back to my childhood... too young to approach girls, too utterly busy drawing & sketching (I wanted to be a Architect). I switched careers, now I'm a Police Officer, assigned to Forensics, as a Fingerprint Examiner & CSI. That being said, Foreigner was a outlet for many guys, who wanted a Different style of Classic Rock (that girls could listen to, & rock with). Oh yeah... that Bass & Synthesizer holding down the rhythm section... the steady drum beat, & VOCALS... YEAH... They certainly don't do MUSIC LIKE THIS anymore. So, THANK YOU for doin' THIS PARTICULAR TRACK....by the way, I subscribed. Keep doin' YOU. Peace, Love, & Liberty.

Just do it!!! 🤣🤣 Let it out girl! And Here Without You is an AMAZING song!

Number 1 school slow dance song for every high school and jr. high school through the 70's and 80's!

Foreigner/ Lou Graham still not in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when there’s bands/singers who are but couldn’t even hold a candle to them!

The First Four Foreigner Albums 💯💢❤🤍

Another band's songs to play for the girl of your dreams is the band Bread. Foreigner was such a good band and I personally prefer hard, prog and metal music but Foreigner was so good I even liked them.

The first time I heard this song it was like an out of body experience for me. I felt love before I’d ever been in love, explain that

I get stranger things vibes too!

Birch you're not teaching her properly. Have you forgotten that we used to be able to make dedications on the radio at night to whoever you called out. You can dedicate a song to your girl and have her listen to that particular time during that hour between 7:00 and 10:00 p.m. so a lot of foreigners songs were sent to a girlfriend or someone you didn't have the guts to approach necessarily afraid of rejection. Foreigner was one of those bands, so were REO Speedwagon and Styx

Hey can you guys do journey , Positive touch i love that song and you guys are great for reactions .Pleaseeee!!!!!!!

honestly Rock isn't normally my thing.. but i really like Foreigner!

Lou is a Rochester boy. Was in a local group called Black Sheep before he made it big.

Soon as you said im happy were doing Foreigner i was like heck yeah brother im only 33 but i love some foreigner great band classic

Alexis finally sings and it's like... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-82VRuNPQ6eU.html

I would have judast priests voice metal voice and yes lou grahms voice

The Stranger Things theme song uses similar melody with synth, so I can see why Alexis thinks that. As for rock voices, I can see this being the choice for standard rock band, Dio is a great choice for metal and for hard rock I would select Robert Plant,

They just played my city, wasn't one damn original player left and that's why we didn't attend the show.

You would have heard his voice on guitar hero. The track 'Juke Box Hero'.

I've been waiting AND praying for a girl.....LIKE ALEXIS !!!!!!!!!!

Love Foreigner. Definitely playlist material. Side note : I'm the same here with the caffeine Burch. Pete's Dark Roast House Blend Decaffeinated can't be beat👍

Foreigner 4 is another Mutt Lange produced masterpiece...

Skating rink song...slow skate with your girl. Those were the days

I've been waiting is on the stranger things soundtrack with a total of like 180 songs

Now you understand why dad or Grandpa sitting in the driveway and not coming in yet. When this song's over then he comes in.

Play Jukebox Hero for her.

Might as well have her listen to Survivor "The Search is Over" 😎

Thomas Dolby played keyboards/synths on this song.

I love how you described the band in the beginning.

Long, Long, Way From Home would be a good follow up to this song.

You need to check them out live at Farmaid in I believe 1985.

this was our wedding song i danced with my wife back 34 years ago. i love Lou's voice as well. please do some of Lou's songs from his solo albums.

Lou Gramm has an incredible voice.
