With their accessible AOR sound, Foreigner made it OK for pop fans to listen to hard rock in the '70s. American singer Lou Gramm and UK guitarist Mick Jones (formerly of Spooky Tooth, not to be confused with the Clash guitarist) are responsible for some of classic rock's most instantly recognizable anthems ("Hot Blooded," "Cold As Ice," etc.); however, mammoth hit ballads like the sinisterly seductive "Waiting For a Girl Like You" and the anomalous, gospel-inflected "I Want to Know What Love Is" launched a second life for the band in the 1980s as purveyors of soft rock ballads.
