    "Juke Box Hero" might be tightly connected to Rochester, but Foreigner has many other popular songs . What are your favorite?

    We assembled a list of the best other songs by the classic rock band ( Foreigner is going into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in October). Your order of favorite songs might be different.

    Billboard recently ranked "Urgent" as the best song by Foreigner:

    " It sounds like nothing before, or since, in the Foreigner catalog, from the edgy guitar pattern to Thomas Dolby’s subtly deployed synthesizers and an icy, implied funk funk motif. And Junior Walker’s saxophone is an inspired, value-plus addition to a track that would have been killer even without it. "

    But the site ranked "Juke Box Hero" fifth, so what do they know?

    A classic rock station in Philly , 102.9, agrees with us on the top song for our rough list:

    "As far as debut singles go, 'Feels Like the First Time' is one of the best. And yet, it may be the most underrated in the grand scheme of classic rock. Foreigner gets a lot of love from its fans, but they never really got their due."
