“We weren’t the best looking band in the world. We weren’t the most dress-conscious band in the world. But Mick and Lou came up with some very, very strong songs and that’s what’s kept it going,” bassist Rick Wills says. “Sixteen top 30 hits isn’t too shabby.”have died and Jones has been sidelined by Parkinson’s disease. The band will be inducted Oct. 19 in Cleveland.“I think a lot of the talent that is in this class has been waiting on the outside as well as Foreigner,” says Greenwood.
But Greenwood soon grew disillusioned by the lack of progress over two weeks and decided to tell Jones he was going back to his own band. Four hit albums in five years — “Foreigner,” “Double Vision,” “Head Games” and “4” — cemented the band's place in classic rock history but not in the Rock Hall. Members watched bands that used to open for Foreigner go in while they waited.
After Wills showed his chops on songs like “Double Vision” and “Hot Blooded,” drummer Dennis Elliott announced he wanted Willis in the band. There were some 70 bassists still waiting to audition.
