Evening. Today's song is Jukebox Hero by Foreigner.
This is another band with a long career spanning from 1976 to now. Along with the huge career, there is a huge list of current and past band members so I'm going to try and do a history without any of their specifics. The guy who started the band did so after his old band broke up and he ended up in New York. Their demo had the band name originally as Trigger which was the name of another band already, so instead they went with Foreigner because the band was made up of some different nationalities and wherever they went they would essentially be foreigners. Their debut came out in 1977 and by the next year they were playing for hundreds of thousands of people. Throughout the years there was more albums and a revolving door of members, but the band overall has survived. And unlike some others that are technically active, but silent; these guys have been actively around touring well into 2017. It's not a bad run honestly.
What I had to find for today was easy. All we needed was a rock song each of us like. Although rock spans a pretty big genre space now. Anna was predictable choosing Thickfreakness by Black Keys. Sammy and Will went the same route, with Sammy saying Bully by Shinedown and Will picking Sound of Madness by Shinedown. My mom went with Working For The Weekend by Loverboy and my grandma chose La Bomba by Ricky Valens.
Peace.
