"Hearts Vs. Heads" by Stan Bush

Stan Bush first made his mark as a solo artist with his self-titled debut in 1983. Now considered an underground classic in AOR circles, this album was filled with melodic rock cuts in the vein of Survivor and Foreigner, yet it didn't make Bush a household name.

The follow-up record featuring his backing band, called "Stan Bush and Barrage", hit shelves in 1987. By now, it seemed Bush was gaining some traction, having landing many of his songs on movie soundtracks (most notably "The Touch" from the 1986 Transformers movie). Still, big time chart success continued to prove elusive.

From the Barrage album, and also featured on the soundtrack to a film called The Wraith, "Hearts Vs. Heads" is a terrific rocker. Bush sounds a little like Sammy Hagar on this one, and the hook will be in your head and heart for days.
