Foreigner - S/T.  I haven't listened to this in a long time.  I remember when it first came out, I saw them at Memorial Stadium in Seattle with Heart and Tower of Power and a couple of other bands.  Lou Gramm was an amazing performer and they had a full repertoire on their first tour since there wasn't a bad song on their first album.  Then... it seemed like it was all downhill from there and I lost interest in them.  Listening to this again, I'm taken by the quality of the production and the great songwriting and Lou's passionate performance.  Sometimes a little distance gives you a different appreciation.
