Song: Love is a Battlefield
Quick Thoughts: Pat Benatar was one of the most heavily played artists in the early days of MTV and has since won four Grammy awards. With a strong voice and heartfelt lyrics, she deserves a place in rock history. Released in 1983, this song made major splashes in Australia, Europe, and Canada, and of course, in the U.S. The song is written by Mike Chapman, who would go on to later produce a breakthrough album for Blondie.

Having grown up listening to mostly hip-hop, R&B, some alternative, and all sorts of music in Spanish, I decided it was time to give myself a personal survey of Rock music. My friend BJ Swanner compiled a "Top 1000 Rock Song List", aggregated from several "Top Lists". As I go through all 1,000 songs, I'll be creating my own list, sharing a brief post like this for all the songs that will make my final list. I will not be ranking the songs that make it to my final list.....for now.
