World's Greatest Bands Elimination Game!

[WillieMorgan]

I just looked on Wikipedia. I know "I Want to Know What Love Is" - but one power ballad from the 80s doesn't seem enough to put them on this list. I checked out Chicago and it looks like they did one 80s power ballad that I recognise as well (If You Leave Me Now).

Well, even if we discount the 80 million album sales that Foreigner have amassed that's one more song than I'd be able to recognise from Alabama!

This is a list that includes Linkin Park after all.

Same here. But I'm British and from the look of their song titles on Wikipedia, I'm guessing Alabama are Country and Western, so they'd never make it big here.
