Artist: Foreigner
Video: An abbreviated version from YouTube.
Foreigner was another favorite band in 1985. Led by founding members Mick Jones (lead guitar) and Lou Gramm (lead vocals), the group cranked out classic rock hits in the late 70's and early 80's. Its first five albums reached the top 5 in America.
"That Was Yesterday" was the second biggest hit from the "Agent Provocateur" album, peaking at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100. This song has always been a favorite of mine, I think mostly because of Lou Gramm's kick-ass vocal performance, and the lyrics. It is the story of a man who is grieving over a lost love, yet determined to move on and put the relationship behind him.
The video is a live performance, featuring many shots of adoring fans as well as crew preparing for the concert. The version that aired on MTV also includes part of the number #1 hit "I Want To Know What Love Is". Gramm also rocks a mean tambourine.
Finally, there is a new poll. I haven't figured out how to archive old polls, but I am keeping track of the winners of previous polls. So far, that includes This Time and Rock 'n' Roll Girls. These songs and other winners will square off against each other in future polls. Thanks for voting!
