There is no Heart without those two (obviously) but I see what you mean by the Fisher/Wilson guitar combo, but the songwriting, for me, all starts with the sisters. Have you heard The Road Home? What an intimate gem of an album...Ann and Nancy can sing circles around each other, it's like a mind meld!

I have all of Heart's albums. The Road Home is fantastic, however, there is only one new song on it (the title track)- everything else on that album is either old material or a cover.

Jupiter's Darling is okay. Not great and certainly not a return to form in terms of their 70's material. I consider it more of a fifth incarnation for them.

Roger Fisher played a large part in a lot of their 70's material. Sue Ennis tried to take over his role and IMO was a weak replacement. Just look at all the horrible material from Private Audition (blech). That's their worst album, ever.
