Foreigner - Surviving the 90s

·1 hr 52 min·5 clips
Foreigner sold over 20 million albums in five years, but did they survive the 90s?
The hosts analyze Foreigner's trajectory in the 1990s, discussing their massive early success, the commercial failure of 1991's 'Unusual Heat' with a new singer, and the 1994 reunion album 'Mr. Moonlight'.
