Rock Blog - Foreigner (Head Games)

Artist: Foreigner
Song:  Head Games
Video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFQG6OOQmh8

Quick Thoughts:  Along with bands like Journey, REO Speedwagon and Styx, Foreigner was one of the rock acts from the 1970's that was able to transform and survive in the 1980's. Before their cheezy 80's ballads as a quartet (which I must admit I still liked), these guys rocked as a sextet.  Head Games was released in1979 on Foreigner's third studio album.  The album is highly known also for featuring actress and former child model, Lisanne Falk, of "Heathers" fame.

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.
