Back in the day, there were two competing FM rock stations in my area. Keep in mind, this wasn't the time when stations like this were called classic rock, because, well, classic rock as we know it now was the present and near past. So the two stations tended to be very competitive, and one way they tried to keep people involved was call in polls for songs, and every night the stations would play their respective top tens for the day.
The less successful of the two stations was the pioneer of this, and on their nightly countdowns, only two songs held the top spot longer than Juke Box Hero. One was I Love It Loud by Kiss, and the other, inexplicably, was Flamethrower by the J. Geils Band.
Another memory I have of this song was the review of Foreigner's 4 in the local morning paper (ahh, there's a memory. Time was there were both morning and evening papers. Then they merged and became one) where the reviewer called it the best yet strangest rock song since Rush's Tom Sawyer. Having UTTERLY dated myself now, I'll just say Juke Box Hero is a pretty interesting rocker by Foreigner, that does go through a sizable number of moods and tempo changes. Cool tune.
