Foreigner - "Juke Box Hero"

[Jorge_Str [Som3on3]]

The third single from their 1981 release "4", for many this album was their best. "Juke Box Hero" is my favorite track from this album so I guess that makes it my favorite Foreigner's song.
I love the anthemic rhythm of this song and I think that's the reason I like it so much.

Great song. The long looping bassline in this song is fantastic. Mutt Lange at his best.

I love Foreigner, especially this song. Either this or WFAGLY is my favorite from them.

YEAH...!!!
"Waiting For A Girl Like you" is the biggest hit from the album and their second hit from all their albums behind only from "I want to know what love is"....

Actually, "Waiting For A Girl Like You" is their biggest hit ever, since it spent six weeks at #1 (on the R&R chart), three times as long as "I Want To Know What Love Is"
This could possibly apply to Billboard too. As far as peak position goes, IWTKWLI is their biggest hit, but in terms of overall chart performance, I think "Waiting For A Girl Like You", which spent ten weeks at number one, would be a bigger hit, since it spent so much longer in the Top Ten and in the Top 40 than IWTKWLI.

Anyway, my opinion about this song - pretty good, but far from being their best.

Yes, those 2 songs are far from any other in success, maybe Waiting for a girl like you could be even bigger hit from I want to know what love is, but if u ask an 80's listener he will tell u that their most memorable hit was IWTKWLI.

BTW, Juke Box Hero is different from their other hits, it was their first song I've ever heard and it was the song that made me learn about Foreigner, I don't believe is far from their best. Maybe its chart performance could be but it's still one of their 5 most known songs.

So-so. They had much better hits.
