love how you have to call your mates to fight other people's fights and use homophobic and threats of violence to make you look hard

sort it the fuck out, arguing with some daft tnuc like myself (or you) on the internet is fucking pathetic, sort it out

What is, in your opinion, the greatest Foreigner track? It's a tough proposition, they have so many amazing tracks.

For me, you have to start by looking to the classics, and the biggest classic of them all is 'I want to know what love is', especially given what time of year it is

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVjocvTg9vQ

The backing choir really add an edge to the track that ensures that it will stay in the pantheon of great rock tracks for all time.

However, I much prefer the subtler, 'I've been waiting for a girl like you'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXjJCbA5qc4

The lyrics are so intense and the music matches, restrained yet powerful. The synth sound almost reminds me of Duran Duran's classic dark synth sound on 'Rio'

I would be inclined to go for the phenomenal 'Cold as Ice'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kul2VstxtCc

however I feel like MOP destroyed this track in my heart by speeding up the vocals and making a hiphop track out of it. I've just heard it too many times I guess.

I think, eventually, it always come down to one classic track though. 'Jukebox Hero'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5_qhnWByA4

Jukebox Hero, to me, is the absolute zenith of all that is amazing in stadium rock. The ambition and soul on display in this tune perfectly matches the lyrics about how all you need is a guitar and you too can be a rock hero.

Standing in the rain, with his head hung low
Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show
Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene
Put his ear to the wall, then like a distant scream

He heard one guitar, just blew him away
He saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day
Bought a beat up six string in a secondhand store
Didn't know how to play it, but he knew for sure

That one guitar, felt good in his hands
Didn't take long, to understand
Just one guitar, slung way down low
Was one way ticket, only one way to go

So he started rockin'
Ain't never gonna stop
Gotta keep on rockin'
Someday he's gonna make it to the top

And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a juke box hero
He took one guitar, juke box hero, stars in his eyes
Juke box hero, he'll come alive tonight

In a town without a name, in a heavy downpour
Thought he passed his own shadow, by the backstage door
Like a trip through the past, to that day in the rain
And that one guitar made his whole life change

Now he needs to keep rockin'
He just can't stop
Gotta keep on rockin'
That boy has got to stay on top

And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
Yeah, juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
With that one guitar he'll come alive
Come alive tonight

Yeah, he's gotta keep rockin'
He just can't stop
Gotta keep on rockin'
That boy has got to stay on top

And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
Just one guitar, put stars in his eyes
He's just a juke box hero, aah aah aah
Juke box hero, juke box hero, he's got stars in his eyes
Stars in his eyes

Actually, I reckon this is my favourite track of all time.

The bit where he goes 'That one guitar...' and then the guitars kick in is the most majestic and unbelievable euphoric and rocking-out moment ever. Try closing your eyes when this bit happens.

Then again, maybe your a Journey man. They sure had their moments too I suppose
