Foreigner is a rock and roll band formed in New York, USA in 1976 by experienced musicians Mick Jones and Ian McDonald (see 1976 in music). Despite accusations of formulaic commercialism, Foreigner's unique style of heavy metal with keyboard flourishes has racked up sales of over 50 million records worldwide to date.

The band is led by British journeyman rocker Mick Jones (former member of Nero and the Gladiators, Spooky Tooth, and The Leslie West Band) who in early 1976 met with ex-King Crimson member Ian McDonald and formed Foreigner with Lou Gramm and three other musicians who were all unknown at the time to create a sextet.
