All the Hits (And Then Some)

"I'm going to admit up front that I'm a casual fan of Foreigner. Until I bought Complete Greatest Hits, the only Foreigner album in my 6,000-plus collection was a cassette copy of 1982's Records: The Best of Foreigner. So you won't hear any carping from me about why didn't Rhino include "(plug in your favorite Foreigner song here)" instead of using "(a song you don't like as well)." When Foreigner first charted in the late-Seventies, disco was threatening to take over the music industry. It was refreshing to hear rock 'n' roll on the radio again. This is simply, track for track, the best single disc overview available. It includes every Top 40 hit (with the glaring exception of 1982's "Breaking Up," No. 26) along with a handful of lesser hits ("Women," No. 41; "Heart Turns to Stone," No. 56), uncharted singles ("Soul Doctor" and "Girl on the Moon"), and album tracks ("Headknocker"). Again, for the casual fan, this is THE Foreigner album to own. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"
"Complete Greatest Hits" Could Have Been Better!

"Foreigner emerged on the rock scene in 1977 and released the stunning self titled "Foreigner" album which was followed by "Double Vision", "Head Games", "Foreigner 4" and a string of other great albums. Foreigner was one of the great arena rock bands to come out of the seventies when concerts were affordable and packed with fans who appreciated good old rock n' roll. This Foreigner cd entitled "Complete Greatest Hits" should have been called "Almost Complete Greatest Hits" because there are a number of songs missing that should have been on this collection. Sure the big hits are here such as "Feels Like The First Time", "Cold As Ice", "Hot Blooded", "Double Vision", "Head Games", "Urgent", "Juke Box Hero", etc. but as one reviewer mentioned "Girl On The Moon" could have been deleted and better choices could have been "Until The End Of Time" or "Under The Gun". For die hard Foreigner fans there is also the two cd set entitled "Foreigner Anthology: Jukebox Heros" which is a more complete collection and has songs from both Lou Gramm and Mick Jone's solo careers plus much more. But for less money this "Complete Greatest Hits" must make do. The sound quality is superb and the 19 page booklet includes a nice history of the band and some great pictures. If you enjoy seventies rock then this is a must have."
A Must For Foreigner Fans!!!!

"What can I say?? If your a fan of Foreigner then this compilation needs to be added to your collection. 20 of they're biggest hits from 1977's top 5 hit "Feels Like The First Time" up through 1992's "Soul Doctor". Nine top 10 hits, seven top 5's and they're only Number 1 "I Want To Know What Love Is". All the hits are there, from early rockers such as "Cold As Ice", "Hot Blooded", "Double Vision", "Head Games" and "Urgent" to the power ballads like "Waiting For A Girl Like You" and "I Want To Know What Love Is" through the 80's rock hits like "That Was Yesterday", "Say You Will" and "I Don't Want To Live Without You". The sound quality is fantastic, it's crystal clear just as if it was recorded today. So buy this CD crank up the volume and enjoy one of the greatest rock groups in music history. I'd also like to say Foreigner belongs in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame!"
The best single-disc Foreigner complilation.

"This is a very good Foreigner compilation and certainly the best single-disc compilation of theirs that you will find. It's got all of the hits, very little in the way of filler (if any) and it has great sound. If you want more than this, get the Definitive Collection, but this should certainly suit the casual Foreigner fan. In my opinion, the Defenitive Collection is a little much and really only for serious fans. This one could suit anyone, really."

"This would've been a pretty good album except for one small problem. Most of the tracks,the good ones especially,have been reduced to the short version. What was wrong with the original full-length versions? If you're a real Foreigner fan,buy all their albums. If you want just the hits,then the double-disc anthology is probably reccommended."
