Thread: Let's Hear It For Heart...

    I have a serious crush on Ann. I don't care if she's 120 pounds or 1,000.

    You are correct. Thank you and I've corrected my OP. And, yes, Passionworks definitely rocks!

    Nice to see some love 'round here for a band that has always been about love....

    Peace,

    Heart is prog, complete with a singer that could play flute like Peter Gabriel or Ian Anderson.

    As much as I love early Heart, they are not prog. They are a hard rock band ala Zeppelin, but with that mid-'70s feel. Ann is on par with Gabriel on flute but nowhere near Ian, imho.

    I disagree with that last part. Have you ever heard the song Sing Child Sing?

    Yes, many times. I've had that album since it came out. It's ok to disagree. We all have our opinions.

    All I'm saying is that she gave Mr. Anderson a run for his money in terms of the flute playing on that song.

    The R&RHOF has way too many jokes in its halls to be taken seriously. I congratulated Heart a long, long time ago. That was when they deserved to be called the greatest female fronted Rock band oof all time.

    I will always have a soft spot for Heart...first live band I ever saw in 1982 when they were the opening band for Queen at Milton Keynes Bowl.

    The last time I saw them they were playing a free concert in Universal Theme Park, Orlando and I was surprised the set list omitted most of their 80's hits

    Would love to see them back in the UK sometime

    Go get everything from "Dreamboat Annie" to "Bebe le Strange" right now.

    Back in the 70s when Heart were new-ish, two of my friends somehow got the number of Nancy Wilson's management and called her and left some dopey message for her. They didn't think anything would come of it, so went out, and when they got home the mom of one of my friends told them Nancy Wilson had called back for them. It was true, and they missed it! Agh!

    Very happy to see Heart going in. Anyone who is a fan and hasn't heard their new release Fanatic needs to do so-half VERY rocking, a few cool folksy tunes, and a couple catchy pop songs. Classic Heart!

    Red Velvet Car is an excellent album as well. So to was 2004's Jupiter's Darling.
    Compact Disk brought high fidelity to the masses and audiophiles will never forgive it for that

    congrats to them. killer band but when they lost roger fisher i sort of lost interest. the sisters ran the band but the ace in the hole was rogers guitar playing. wild, all over the place unpredicatable but mostly interesting. they never really got another flashy guitar player again seemed they were happy with guitar playing that sounded just like every one else doing aor and fm radio heavy rock.

    Bebe Le Strange is an excellent release, and Roger isn't on there. Plus, if Behind The Music is to be believed, he didn't leave the band on good terms(apparently, he threw a hissy fit when his guitar stopped working onstage; he tried to smash in to bits on stage, then he tried to connect it with Nancy's head backstage). Plus, he was a member of Alias(who had a hit with More Than Words Can Say) with Steve Fossen and Mike DeRosier.

    Well, that was the culmination of a lot of frustration, a lot of which stemmed from issues being in a relationship with... Nancy, I think? Anyway, he definitely had a lot to do with the band's sound. So did DeRosier. Bebe Le Strange was ok, but it was the end, and a far cry from Dog and Butterfly.

    Agreed. BeBe Le Strange is decent,imo, but nowhere near D & B, which I find to be their peak.

    And yes he was with Nancy. His brother Mike was with Ann.

    Roger still plays around the area occasionally.

    So has anyone heard exactly who is inducted into the HoF besides the Wilsons? I sure hope the early band members aren't neglected.

    Do they actually do that, induct only certain members of a group? I might be a bit naive 'bout all of this but didn't they induct Heart? And they certainly can't be defining that as the current band because nobody in this current band, while good, had anything to do with their glory years. Howard Leese was the last mainstay and he's been gone since 1999!

    Peace,
    Alex

    Well, I had heard that Bob Welch wasn't inducted along with Fleetwood Mac, while I believe just about everyone else that ever played with them was.

    I'm not sure if there are other examples, without looking.

    Only the '70-'75(post Ant) lineup was inducted. Despite Ant not being inducted, he was mentioned in Trey's induction speech.

    Yeah - I didn't see Ray Wilson up there, either.


    No idea who determines who the "inducted members" are for any given act, however.
    Music isn't about chops, or even about talent - it's about sound and the way that sound communicates to people. Mike Keneally

    Well, Ray wasn't an important part of Genesis. Ant was so important that Genesis considered disbanding when he left. Also, Steve did play similarly to Ant on his first few Genesis releases.
