Chris DeBurgh - High On Emotion

Postby Frayo » Sat Jun 12, 2004 12:49 pm

Anyone familiar with how this song goes..Its got a sound to it..Its like something that would fit very easily into a soundtrack to a fantasy movie. I dont know what to call it... I have found a few songs like it- I call it "fantasy rock" cause I dont know what it is--

Assistance pls? What else falls into this category?

Early Gowan could be considered this kind of music. "A Criminal Mind" was a pretty good song that got a couple spins on MTV. Gowan and DeBurgh kinda look alike too:
