How Can I Refuse? - Heart

This is a really solid pop song from an established rock band that was at the time (1982) breaking it big in the Top 40. It doesn't have the really strong guitar and vocal work from earlier classic rock songs like "Magic Man" (1976) and "Barracuda" (1977) that the band was known for, but it still captures their essential sound. The chord progressions work really well and the transitions are seamless. Rock-flavored pop at its best.
