Foreigner's "Waiting For A Girl Like You" or "I Want To Know What Love Is"?


Which of these two Foreigner songs do you like better between these two and why?

Me I prefer "I Want To Know What Love Is" more because of the gospel feel towards the end of the song and it was the very first Foreigner song I ever heard.

I also prefer "I Want To Know What Love Is." I think it is a better song and I like the sound and the feel of it.

"I Want To Know What Love Is"

One reason is I'm a Shirley Bassey fan and I like her cover of it. I feel like the song is personal for her because her love life was so up and down.

I Want To Know What Love Is

Waiting For A Girl Like You
I still say Foreigner 4 was one of the best rock albums of all time.

reply

Probably "I want to know what love is."

Foreigner is an excellent band.

I want to know what love is.

It’s also a very difficult song to sing. Lou Gramm sings higher than most females in that song.

reply

"I Want To Know What Love Is" is definitely one song that deserves to be on a great album, too bad the "Agent Provocateur" album had to be a disappointment follow up to the classic "4" album.

I prefer "Waiting For A Girl Like You". It's hard to say why. The other song is good but I don't like the choir backing vocals in the chorus.
