The heart is at the centre of our bodies and the centre of many a good song. Yes, I know that line was very cheesy but, hey, what can you do?! The songs are listed in no particular order...just in case you were wondering....
Click on the album artwork to read the Rock Realms review of each particular release.
Bonnie Tyler
Total Eclipse Of The Heart (1983)
Cool song. Mental video. Favourite track on Singstar :)
Howard Leese
Heal The Broken Hearted (2009)
Howard Leese, guitarist with Heart, joins forces with Paul Rodgers to produce one of the best songs by either of them. Ever.
Jaded Heart
Hole In My Heart (2005)
Not a love song but it'll certainly worm its way into your soul.
Survivor
Burning Heart (1985)
They did it with Eye Of The Tiger, they do it again with Burning Heart. Magic.
Sunstorm
Heart Over Mind (2006)
Joe Lynn Turner did magical things on this album, and this was one of the best tracks to come from it.
Queensrÿche
Hand On Heart (1990)
When Queensrÿche are good they're very, very good. When Queensrÿche are bad they're... awful. Fortunately this is from the former camp.
Ted Poley
If I Can't Change Your Heart (Let Me Blow Your Mind) (2007)
He sounds like a surfer dude with a naughty streak, but boy can he pull a ballad out the bag when he tries!.
Whitesnake
Straight For The Heart (1987)
Not the best song from the album but, when an album's this good, less can still be more...than almost anything else.
Yes
Owner Of A Lonely Heart (1983)
Even the most indulgent of prog acts can make a decent commercial track when they try... proved here with style.
Bad English
Ghost In Your Heart (1992)
'Journey featuring John Waite' produced some fine music... proved here by this :)
Pride Of Lions
Faithful Heart (2007)
Jim Peterik is a God when it comes to writing, Toby Hitchcock is a God when it comes to singing. Think of this as a match made in Heaven :)
Bruce Springsteen
Hungry Heart (1980)
Bruce Springsteen has written some of the best soft rock tracks over the years, and they don't get much better than this.
Europe
Open Your Heart (1988)
And you will...
Motley Crue
Kickstart My Heart (1989)
And if yours has stopped, this song WILL have that effect.
Def Leppard
Bringin' On The Heartbreak (1981)
One of the first hints of what was to come from albums like Hysteria and Pyromania, The Leps hits the proverbial nail with this one.
Just missing the cut, honourable mentions in no particular order go to Always From The Heart by Seventh Key, Headed For A Heartbreak by Winger, Heartwork by Carcass, How To Mend A Broken Heart by Eclipse and Frozen Heart by FM.
