LOL - David a tard - never (WE LOVE YOU DAVID!!!! )

Seriously, to each their own, but I am at a loss to see how Ann's voice could not dazzle anyone. I mean listen to their version of "Unchained Melody" - and then think that that is a 50 something year old woman hitting those three or so octaves with the same vengence she showed when she was in her 20's

I also think Dreamboat Annie and Dog and Butterfly are amongst the most original and cooler things I have ever heard.

Everyone has their moments, my dear.

Not to mention "Mistral Wind" and "Nada One".

Heart has produced plenty of dreck along the way, however, the talent of Ann and Nancy is pretty much unparalled.

I know, and I love every cheesy minute of it! The one thing I can't stomach though is "All I Wanna Do is Make Love To You." They should have just let Don Henley have that one .

But I love the "Heart" album which I know a lot of old schoolers don't like, but whatever, I would listen to Ann sing the alphabet. And the way I look at it is, if I can be a Stevie Nicks fan through Rock a Little and Tango in the Night I can be a Heart fan through their mid-late 80's debacle of a decade making music .

Pfffff! That's cool. I just think the narrative is SOOOOOO unbelievable! I mean, a woman (and I know this song was written for a man) is driving along the road at night picks up a male hitchhiker, takes him to a motel, (actually, this is getting good) they have their one night stand and then years later they meet up again (randomly) and the child sees her "own eyes" in the eyes of the "real" father for the first time? Gimme a break, it is so far fetched!

Oh I know, but as I was posting I started to think about the lyrics and it just kind of tickled me. Ann's singing is flawless though!

Brigade was their last gasp. There was a LOT of crapola on that album. "Secret" is Heart's "Unconditional Love".

"What About Love?" is blistering, ain't it?

I downloaded a thirteen minute piano demo of "The Nightmare" off of The Lewdge and had to turn it off after the first five minutes. Stevie Nicks Piano Plinking at its worst....

The freeeking song was written by Mutt Lange! That dude makes Bret Michaels look like Leonard Cohen....

I can't imagine what drugs Ann was on the time that would allow her to record that song.

Yes, you did.

Ann has stated many times in the past that the main reason she was able to keep her figure in the mid-late 70's was due to her cocaine use. Her ex, Mike Fisher, was a real asshole and was always harping on her about her weight.

Yeah, and where is he today? Exactly.

His brother (was it Steve Fisher?) was a total dork too. Did anyone see the Heart BTM? He was so incredibly in lust with Nancy Wilson it was insane! He had his eye on her from the time she joined the band and then mercilessly pursued her for years until she finally caved and got together with him. Then he threw a guitar at her backstage because she broke up with him and hooked up with the drummer. I dunno, he kind of has a stalkeresque quality to him that gives me the creeps!
