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

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.
Playing Dog & Butterfly at the moment. For me this is their peak.
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

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
Yeah - I didn't see Ray Wilson up there, either.
No idea who determines who the "inducted members" are for any given act, however.
