- Crowning Music of Awesome: Amongst their offerings: "Urgent", "Head Games", "Feels Like the First Time", "Hot Blooded", "I Want to Know What Love Is", "Double Vision," "Jukebox Hero" and "Starrider".
- Gateway Series: Improbably, Foreigner can be this to Progressive Rock, as the Ian McDonald connection has led a few curious listeners to give King Crimson a try.
- Germans Love David Hasselhoff: In spite of their British roots they were much more popular in the US, although they did have a #1 single and album in Britain.
- Retroactive Recognition:
- Thomas Dolby is the main synthesist on 4, two years before his breakthrough as a solo artist.
- Jennifer Holliday sings backing vocals on "I Want to Know What Love Is." Holliday is best known to Broadway fans for playing Effie White in Dreamgirls, and actually had a top 30 Billboard hit from that musical, "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going".
- David Paich did string arrangements on Double Vision. Paich is best known as the keyboardist for Toto.
- One-Scene Wonder: Junior Walker's saxophone solo on "Urgent".
- Signature Song: "I Want to Know What Love Is", much to their chagrin.
- For Lou Gramm as a solo singer it's "Midnight Blue".
