Which one do you prefer? I like Africa better but Foreigner is close on its heals.

Africa is far superior. They fluidly incorporate Kilemenjaro into lyrical melody. You can't beat that!

It they have its geographical location wrong, it doesn’t rise above the Serengeti.

Nah not at all, Toto's version is the best. There's a video out there of a giant choir doing it on America's Got Talent that's really great too.

I fricking hate that Toto song. I know there other songs I hate more, but I’m hard pressed to think of any off the top of my head. Therefore, foreigner wins by default.

Foreigner - I've Been Waiting is better imo.

Out of those two? Africa easily.

I would take The Outfield's - Your Love over both.

Deciding which song is best is more than a hundred men or more could ever do.

Africa - dislike
I Want to Know What Love Is - despise

So Africa I guess?? Silence is better, though.

This would be like prime Tyson fighting a tomato can back in the day. Africa is far better.

And besides, that's not even Foreigners best song.
