Number 197: Red 7 - The Way


Their best-known song is "Heartbeat" from the movie Manhunter, but 1985's "The Way" is my favorite Red 7 tune. I like how the drums and the synths work together, and the vocals on the verses are great. The entire song leans 80s-rock, without the worst excesses that the term "80s-rock" invokes. At least there are no long guitar solos. Anyway, Red 7 disappeared after a short career, but press play above to enjoy their only appearance on this Top 200 countdown.
