Words that rhyme with Foremost
Foremost, a three-syllable household-word, lands its weight on the short /ษ/ and lets the line dissolve into a fricative. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: the perfect column comes up empty, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, the assonance count climbs into the thousands. Take the lyric role separately and it's a word everyone uses. The contemporary ear forgives โ and prefers โ the assonance matches here.

Why foremost rhymes the way it does
To understand why foremost rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the short /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 77, assonance 11,113, and consonance 5. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Foremost rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
