THIS IS GOOD DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN EDITED FROM FM RADIO. ITS DESIGN TO GO FROM ONE SONG TO THE OTHER. I DON'T WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU, THE FIRST 10 SECONDS OR SO ARE EDITED. FOR ME THAT IS A BUMMER. I LIKED THE ORIGINAL CUT FROM THE ALBUM. STILL ALL THE SONGS SHOWCASE A VERY TALENTED SONGWRITING TEAM. LOU GRAMM'S VOCALS ARE FANTASTIC!

foreigner are still going strong 30 years later. just so you know,they have new members now. with hits like feels like the first time,cold as ice,hot blooded,head gameswaiting for agirl like you,i want to know what love is,say you will,and i don't want to live without you,don't worry that this isn't the real foreigner. listen to this akbum celebrate 30 years of great music with foreigner. get to know the new lineup and listen to exended versions. i'll explain later in another review in the future. ed wilson

Great compilation of Foreigner's stuff and just a great album to listen to. 1 1/4 hours of good rock. Even though it's pretty long, the listener has no trouble just putting it in the player and letting it go. No boring fill anywhere at all.

I was just a so-so fan but thought that buying the collection might make me into an avid fan. Not so. The tunes are original and kind of catchy, but frankly the production quality is low. My 10 year old said, "What's wrong with the music?" because it just doesn't have the quality of current recordings. So I would stay away unless you are already a really big fan.

This CD takes you back to the days of riding around in a car full of friends, circling the same old parking lots over and over looking for hot guys / gals and even hotter parties. Gotta love those early 80's...we were all HOT BLOODED!

If you like Foreigner like I like Foreigner, than this collection is a must for you! The sound is clear, crisp and direct. The vocals are excellent and I find this CD enjoyable many times over. A great buy!

You Know its going to be good right. You really don't need this review unless you live in a cave.

ENJOY LISTENING TO THEM, BRING BACK , THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS. WHEN YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR SINGING ABOUT. LOVE IT

Foreigner is a band that make me want to dance. Me and my coworkers rock out everytime it comes on the radio. Mainly, because we are a bunch of "Dirty White Boys" If I could give this product more than 5 stars, I would give it 6 1/2. They are awesome!!!!!

It's nice to see a greatest hits CD that actually has all the greatest hits of that band on it. Often bands will put half their hits on one CD along with a bunch of songs nobody cares about, and put the other hits on a Volume 2 greatest hits to make more money. Foreigner did the right thing by putting anything you could ever want from them on one CD. It's loaded with good stuff from their early to later days.

This is one of my favorite cd's I own. Foreigner was always one of my mother's favorite bands growing up. She bought this album a few years ago, and I was hooked on them ever since. I love alot of '70s bands Foreigner is at the top. This is a MUST own Album for any fans of '70s music.

THIS IS A GOOD CD,HOWEVER A LOT OF THE SONGS WERE NEVER GREAT HITS FOR FOREIGNER,BUT IT IS WORTH BUYING

This is a terrific collection of all the best of classic Foreigner music.

Foreigner are most certainly my favorite bands of all time who made very deserving songs in the 80s who are just as talented as DIRE STRAITS. This is a really nice greatest hits album that contains all the masterpieces including the loveliest song like WAITING FOR A GIRL LIKE YOU. Lou Gramm is one of my favorite singers who can sing the right way. Please buy this music, this music is love, not like overrated bands like Pink Floyd and Pearl Jam who suck. Foreigner is the real deal.

This is what I call great music...Foreigner are one of my all time FAVORITE BANDS. It belongs to people with excellent taste in music. These are all excellent songs, belive me you will not WASTE your money on this excellent collection. Listen to these.
Feels Like The First Time-100%-I would suggest that this song is pretty good. A great beginning track.

Cold As Ice-500%-ONE OF THE BEST FOREIGNER SONGS...It was one of the first songs I have ever listened to when I beginned listening to Foreigner.

Long Long Way From Home-315%-A GREAT SONG.

Head Knocker-54%-This song is OK but it's not their best.

Hot Blooded-245%-The FIRST FOREIGNER SONG I HAVE EVER LISTENED TO. IT'S GREAT.

Double Vision-460%-GREAT SONG...ANOTHER EXCELLENT DRIVING TUNE.

Blue Morning Blue Day-59%-A WEAKER SONG BY FOREIGNER. IT'S OK.

Dirty White Boy-499%-A GREAT INTRODUCTION.

Head Games-220%-NOT THE BEST. I LIKE IT.

Women-348%-A GOOD BOOGIE song.

Girl On The Moon-1000%-Another sweet song after my all time favorite WFAGLY. Very lovely.

Urgent-779%-EXCELLENT SONG..JUNOIR WALKER SAXOPHONE ROX.

Waiting For A Girl Like You-1,000,000,000%-I want to review how sweet and lovely this song is. Its very, very lovely..I think it's the sweetest and loveliest song on earth.

Jukebox Hero-1000%-A VERY GOOD TRACK FROM FOREIGNER..ONE OF MY FEW ALL TIME FAVORITE FOREIGNER TRACKS IN THE WAY. VERY ROCKING.

I Wanna Know What Love Is-105%-This song is good in the beginning...in the end it gets very boring when the same verse for two minutes begins. Not as sweet as Waiting for a Girl Like You.

That Was Yesterday-400%-A GOOD SONG.

Heart Turn To Stone-740%-A GREAT SONG..BETTER ON INSIDE INFORMATION.

I Dont Wanna Live Without You-293%-A WEAKER SONG AT TIMES. BETTER THAN I WANNA KNOW WHAT LOVE IS BUT CERTAINLY MORE SADDER THAN WAITING FOR A GIRL LIKE YOU.

Say You Will-300%-GREAT..NOT THE GREATEST.

Soul Docter-69%-AN ANGRY SONG...TRY TO WATCH OUT FOR THAT. ITS A GOOD SONG.

VERY RECOMMENDED

Review no.63. Twenty track CD release of all of Foreigner's hits they put out,between 1977-92. Has it REALLY been that long?Yes,I guess it has. All the great arena rock cuts your mind simply cannot forget are here,like "Feels Like The First Time" (my personal Foreigner favorite), "Hot Blooded","Double Vision","Urgent","Dirty White Boy",their signature tune "Juke Box Hero", their ballad "Waiting For A Girl Like You" among others.Only problem I have with Foreigner is these days on the tour circuit,they seem to tour with EITHER vocalist Lou Gramm or guitarist Mick Jones.Have these two parted ways for good?Would like to catch the band with both players.That'd be good.

I really like this album it is really good for anybody who starting to get into Foreginer. Now there are those of you who say that their are some songs missing I personally wish that "Rev On The Red Line" was on this CD. But isn't it true that on every greatest hits album you will find someone who isn't happy that a certain song isn't on it. But thats why there are the individual albums out there so you can get the famous songs and then you can buy their individual albums and the songs you really like.

Now that that is out of the way this is a great album. Every song on here is great. Especially "Cold As Ice", "Hot Blooded", "Feels Like The First Time", "Jukebox Hero", and "I Want To Know What Love Is".

This is one of the best Foreigner albums out there. This is a great one to start or end your collection with. This truly is a must have.

I've enjoyed this band since the first album came out way back in the 70s. Somehow I never get tired of these songs. Great guitar and arena rock voice too. Long, Long way from home is my favorite. It may be silly to review a greatest hits album that everyone who hasn't been under a rock know about, but I celebrate music like this that doesn't ever get old. I'm glad they added Blue Morning, Blue Day too.

It may be hard today, given their footnote status in the history of rock, to realize how huge Foreigner once was. They were, however, one of very few groups having three albums among the top 50 best selling ones during the 70s. The records are:

22. Foreigner - Double Vision (7 Million Sales)
38. Foreigner - Head Games (5 Million Sales)
42. Foreigner - Foreigner (5 Million Sales)

Their forth album, 4, also sold as many records and actually elevated them to international super stardom. After that their album sales began dwindling but they still managed churning out a few hit singles.

Since their break up, a number of compilations by Foreigner have been released. The main ones are The Very Best...and Beyond and Complete Greatest Hits. The former one was close to being perfect with two major problems though. The first problem was the addition of 3 new songs, all of which were stinkers. Luckily those songs were the first songs on the CD so one could simply start on track 4. I know one could go on and on about such and such tracks should be included but releasing a Foreigner compilation without Long, Long Way from Home as this compilation did can't be justified. This was one of their biggest hits on Rock stations, basically a staple on such stations and also a top 20 hit. Omitting that song is similar to deleting Let the Good Times Roll on a Cars compilation, not a huge hit but a staple at Rock stations. It also omitted Blue Morning, Blue Day but that is not the same travesty. This was rectified on this compilation, Complete Greatest Hits, which really has all their hits (including one of the before mention stinkers which albeit became a minor hit at Rock stations) but has one problem; the songs have been in many cases edited. The name of the compilation is thus not correct since some of the songs are not complete and really should be called The Definete Collection.

Recently Rhino released a double CD compilation which rectifies the above problems. That collection contains all the hits by Foreigner plus practically all the main album tracks. There is hardly a track I miss unless maybe a few of Double Vision, which is my favourite Foreigner album. What is maybe of even greater interest for many is the fact that most tracks are presented here in full length, I Don't Want to Live Without You the only exception I noticed. Being more of a complete collection rather than a definite one, it includes a few avoidable tracks.

The re-mastering job is very good on both compilations. Comparing the sound to the Very Best...Beyond release brings forth a subtle yet clear difference in clarity. For audiophiles, the difference is still obvious.

For the casual fan, this collection is the one to get, despite having edited versions. For those who really want the full length versions and some added album cuts, The Defenite Collection is the one to get.

Foreigner Fans will love this album, as it is all their Greatest Hits. Fans of 80s music will like this as well, but maybe not as much as fans of the band. I'm not a huge fan of Foreigner, but I do like this CD and it is a lot of fun to listen to. Over the years I've forgotten that they sung some of the songs on this album - how time flies.

FOREIGNER is one of this nice AOR groups along with Journey who made decent music in the eighties.This collection has some nice songs like Head Games,Juke box hero,I want to know what love is AND Waiting for a girl like you.Recommended.

This Cd I feel is too long. I can't stand Foreigner anymore, they used to be great. Awful edits like Urgent, Jukebox Hero, & Waiting for a Girl Like You have to be changed. And that boring
ballad, what is it?????? I Want to Know What Love Is....Irritating for 2 minutes. And that singer, he kind of
raises his voice too much. Not one of the best bands I have
ever heard. Other irritating songs are HEADKNOCKER, Blue Morning,
& Head games and they kinda suck. They just give me on my nerves.
This is noise.....buy any album from Dire Straits insted. Dire Straits are the best.....................................

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.

OK, no matter what list of songs are on a "Greatest Hits" compilation, there's no way to please everybody. But to call a CD "Complete" Greatest Hits and not include "Starrider" or "Rev On The Red Line", well that's an outright lie. So although this is a great collection with a lot of classic Foreigner tunes, I had to deduct 1 star for those two omissions, and another one for the misleading title. If you want "Complete", go for the Definitive Collection. But still a worthwhile purchase if you can find it at an auction site and get it for 3 or 4 bucks.

You may not remember the names of these songs but you will know each song and say, I remember that. It takes you back to the late 70s and early 80s. Great CD.

Like the title says, what a great flashback to the days of yore. My teenagers hate it, so it must be good. Mom's Music rules the Dodge Caravan anyway. :)

You can't make a complete hits collection of "Foreigner" in only 1 CD, just count all the hits of them and you can see that there are more than 20.

Only because this is a Foreigner's album, I rate it with 5 stars.

The best compilation that Foreigner did was Jukebox Heroes: The Foreigner Anthology 5 years ago. That was really an anthology with more than 30 songs of Foreigner, 2 hits of Lou Gramm "Midnight Blue" and "Just between you and me", and some other songs of Mick Jones.

By the way, even if you get this compilation you'll see what Foreigner means.

Reviewing greatest hits albums is generally a waste of time, but whatever. This certainly has every Foreigner song that I've ever heard on the radio that I can think of, plus quite a few more. If you like the Foreigner songs you've heard on the radio, check it out. They're here too.

Foreigner are the sorta band that punks love to trash-- They're very over the top, overproduced and so on and 'I Want to Know What Love Is' is unquestionably the least punk song ever written. The irony of this attack is that punks tend to be boring, pretentious twats whereas Foreigner is actually *fun* to listen to, and they strike me as far less self-important than your politically inclined punk bands. (Now don't get me wrong, there is quite a bit of good punk music out there, but it exists in spite of their moronic incompetence=authenticity philosophy, not because of it.) Certainly, aspects of this are dated, and I don't always always take it 100% seriously, but most of these are just fun, catchy songs, no matter how you look at it. I suppose Foreigner could be called the ultimate guilty pleasure as far as I'm concerned, though I hate that term.

I'm primarily a heavy metal fan, so my taste for Foreigner may seem a little strange, but it actually makes quite a bit of sense, when you think about. The parallels between AOR and power/classic metal are pretty obvious: They both generally center around the soaring, over the top chorus. Metal songs usually have some interesting riffs to back it up, but the root of the interest is in the chorus. Suffice to say, Foreigner knows how to write an overblown chorus, and Gramm has the perfect voice to work with this sorta thing. Take any song with Dio singing on it and put Gramm in his place and it'll mesh just perfectly

This compilation isn't 100% consistent, though it's better than I'd anticipated it would be. It is, actually, almost uniformly excellent up thru track 14, after which point they determined that guitars weren't cool anymore. I actually still kinda like most of this later stuff, but it actually proves to be too much, even for me. Anyway, maybe half of this compilation is totally classic: 'Feels Like the First Time', 'Cold As Ice', 'Hot Blooded', 'Double Vision', 'Blue Morning, Blue Day,' 'Head Games', 'Urgent', and finally 'Juke Box Hero' which is the greatest song of all time, last time I checked.

Yeah, I'm done. I like Foreigner...

I am almost 40 years old...and these songs were my favorite songs in Jr and Sr High School. I have many,many memories after listening to these songs. It was GREAT!!!!!!! I remember guys were jerks back then....and the man I married...well, he is benefiting from these songs as well. wink wink

I was disappointed in the original greastest hits due to the song selection, it was too short but this one has it all.

Foreigner-Complete Greatest Hits is chart topping music at it's very best. There is no filler here; just straight away the best of Foreigner's chart topping run of singles in the late 70's and early 80's. Lou Gramm and Mick Jones will be among the best song writing duo's in pop/rock history. Pick this CD up and get familiar with Foreigner!

FOREIGNER-COMPLETE GREATEST HITS: Foreigner was no better or worse than any number of the slick rock outfits clogging the pop charts from the mid seventies through the mid eighties (Boston, Journey, Styx, etc.) and certainly some of their moments outshone others. Like many groups that came out of the gate strong, their momentum and quality ebbed rather quickly, to the point where oldie tours and greatest hits compilations were all they had left. COMPLETE GREATEST HITS is just what the title implies---all the superior stuff from their first anthology RECORDS, plus plenty of less enthralling efforts (read: ballads and schlock) representing their later years. Lou Gramm's vocal wallop and Mick Jones' melodic guitar sense on FEELS LIKE THE FIRST TIME, HOTBLOODED, LONG, LONG WAY FROM HOME, and the sax driven URGENT are equal to any pop singles of their era; even anthem JUKE BOX HERO is decent dumb fun. But with the exception of their choir enhanced mega hit I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS, nothing after their fourth LP warrants "hum in your head" status, and certain pieces (SAY YOU WILL, THAT WAS YESTERDAY) are downright anemic. So stick with RECORDS and FOUR and your Foreigner collection will really be complete. RATING: THREE DIRTY WHITE BOYS

How about Rev On The Red Line? It would have been a 5 star review if that song was included.

foreigner is one of my favorite bands of all time. they rock really hard and this compilation has 18/20 great songs. the song
soul doctor could have been deleted and the song i'm gonna win
from the foreigner 4 cd could have been a better choice since
it is one of foreigner's best hard rock songs ever! if you like
hard rock music, get this.

This album is just like Sultans of Swing - The Very Best of
Dire Straits. Edited songs. I can't believe they edited songs like Hot Blooded, Urgent, & Jukebox Hero I hate these single
edits. The worse edits would be from the Dire Straits greatest
hits with Money for Nothing, So Far Away, Heavy Fuel, Brothers
in Arms, On Every Street, Calling Elvis, & Private Investigations
. Anyway, this album is great and boy this is way better than
Foreigner 4. I can't stand Lou Gramm screaming like that album
has. There is only 1 good obscure song from 4. I think it is
I'm Gonna Win. The rest of the album, the only good songs are
the 4 bigones that are on this compilation. You know them
all, Girl on the Moon, Urgent, Waiting for a Girl Like You,
and Jukebox Hero. Foreigner 4 is one waste of money just like
Brothers in Arms 1985 from Dire Straits. I think they go better
together with that. Anyway, the best song on this compilation
is Dirty White Boy. Cold As ice is also great! The last track
Say You Will rocks really hard. This album is recommended for
any heavy metal fan, so go buy this masterpiece along with
Making Movies from Dire Straits today, with the lovely songs,
Tunnel of Love, Romeo and Juliet, Skateaway, & Expresso Love.
