I’ll be 68 in less than 2 months, & I totally agree with you. It was a magical time for me. I like that the younger folks are learning about & appreciating those that came before. A special shout out to the musicians in the 50s that started a whole new genre.
This song is about a record exec started a rumor that the sisters had a lesbian relationship(to increase record sales). When Ann found out she wrote this song that night.
Really? I mean it is definitely a very sexual song, but doesn't sound like it is talking about a lesbian relationship. Sounds like she is talking about some kind of John Holmes type dude.
@Norwegisn Blue The song itself isn't about an incestuous lesbian relationship, its Ann Wilson's response to the record exec sinking so low as to spread that rumour. He's the Barracuda in the song who does and says anything it takes to gain notoriety for the band, regardless of the personal effect on the band itself.
@@fortch17 Exactly. "If the real thing don't do the trick, you better make up something quick" = Fabricate an incestuous affair to market the band. It was despicable, and they moved to a different label as a result.
Gotta do “Magic Man” if you haven’t yet. So much VIBE in that song! Ann Wilson is known to be one of the top rock singers ever. “Barracuda” doesn’t capture her versatility and style as well as other songs do. “Dog and Butterfly” is a good ballad too.
@@cryptoholica72 Me too! Also interesting factoid: cover bands would never play Magic Man because they couldn’t figure it out. The two guitarists were on different tunings. It’s basically impossible to play certain parts on standard tuning, but other parts must be played in standard.
Oh Heart two sisters that Rocked the 70’s & 80’s. Still rocking … you gotta go hear their rendition of Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven . It was at the Kennedy Center Honoring Led Zeppelin . Jason Bonham played his daddy’s set of drums that night . This was very emotional for everyone that grew up with Led Zeppelin. John Bonham was the best drummer in my world . To hear his son 22 years I believe after his dads death . Pure Magic Pure Pure Pure Magic
Honestly, it's the best cover I've ever heard , probably the best cover ever. Man , they are ultra talented and those pipes of Ann !! I guess it's only appropriate that it would take Rock Goddesses to flawlessly sing the song of Rock Gods.
What I love about most of the Wilson Sisters' music is that you can it is definitely tell it's from the 70's or 80's but timeless at the same time. Hence why they are Legends!
Loved their 70's stuff but "Alone" you hear why Ann Wilson is considered one of the greatest female rock voices. and "These Dreams" give you a chance to hear Nancy Wilson sing. Quite honestly their guitarist is a bad ass! Loved it u 2!
Her facial reaction while listening to the song and hearing the female singer just says it all. Heart is an amazing powerful band with awesome vocals and amazing guitar and drums
Barracuda was written by Ann Wilson when a record label exec made a derogatory comment about her and her sister Nancy. She penned the song in retaliation and it became a hit. Heart is one of my faves…thanks for the reaction!
Heart's tribute to Led Zeppelin at the Kennedy Center Honors, Stairway to Heaven with 2 choirs, John Bohnams son playing drums. Bring tears to my eyes every time I watch it. Spine tingles!
Ann and Nancy Wilson are QUEENS of rock and roll. In addition to the must-see "Stairway to Heaven" at the Kennedy Center Honors for Led Zeppelin, you should check out their power ballad *ALONE* to really see their vocal range!
As a modern day metal fan and a classic rock fan, that guitar riff and the speed of those drums was metal af and had to be considered one of the heaviest songs of the 70's
You're 100% correct... As a young kid hearing this for the first time, my head nearly exploded... Then I ran (headless) to my Epiphone guitar, turned up the gain on my tiny National tube amp, and proceeded to learn my first power-"chug". I'm sure there are earlier examples, but the sound was definitely not "normal" classic rock at the time, and it directly transcended into today's metal.
Amazing band - but what made Heart Legendary was Ann Wilson's Voice...... absolutely Crazy talent & brilliantly worked & trained by one of the great vocal coaches of that time period..... & remember - No Auto-Tune - that's all her.... the Wilson sisters - absolute Virtuoso performers
Anne and Nancy Wilson were sisters and formed this great Band. Those girls were freaking great. Saw them in Seattle in "1977" and they burned the place down! One of the best concerts, and I've seen most of the top Bands in the world.
Some days all you need is a little Ann and Nancy Wilson in your life. Dreamboat Annie, Alone, Stranded, Magic Man, Crazy On You. Their catalog is deep and rich
Thanks Asia & BJ. We used to jam this in a Club Band called "Stillwater" Lead Vocals Sharon & Loren, Walter Guitar, Vocals & Bass, Joe Guitar & Bass, Tyson Drums and I Was on Guitar, Vocals & Bass. Sharon recently passed away, so it's been difficult for me to listen to some of the tunes She sang perfectly in our group, But, I think she'd want us to remember the Fun times, Energy & Power house Group we were. Sharon also liked "Never, What about Love, Alone, All I wanna do is make love to You & Even it Up." Wow, 3 guys Switching off on Bass & Guitar, that was fun. Egos weren't Sabotaging the Unity of the Group. Sharon had an incredible Voice. I did a Hip hop tune with her Son Half Smoked and Joes Son Dscript. Sharon and Joe were Impressed with our use of Old School Instruments & Analog Recording. We miss Her. Man, "Stillwater" was a Hot Group!
I was up close and personal when Ann Wilson sang at a private event for attorneys a few years ago. She was in her 60s and I’m not exaggerating. She sounded EXACTLY the same. I went home and played original recordings and she had sung in the same damned keys. She sings as easily as we breathe
True, if you want to do a cover and do it well then you have to be at least as good to the voice you are following but because she has no equal that makes it really tough. The amazing thing is Nancy was lead vocals for their only #1 hit "Never." \0/ What does the woman have to do to get a #1 hit around here? lol
Yes, Heart blew alot of Bands off the Stage, Ann Wilson/Vocals & Nancy Wilson/Guitar with Roger Fisher/Lead Guitar put the Energy and Volume into Live Performances, Amazing how Anns Vocals Projected Through the Mix even at the Volume they played at, Incredible Singer. Ann & Nancy wrote this about a Record Company Executive they considered a Predator. Thank You.
Hard to believe ya'll didnt mention Ann's powerhouse voice. One of the best female rock voices of all time. 70's rock style was more about the music than hair.
The song is about taking a shot at there record label. Promoter in particular. Who at one time thought that the singer (Ann Wilson) was a lesbian and having a love affair with her sister. Guitarist (Nancy Wilson.
I think I saw them live three times--once up close. Good old days with Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Yes, and on and on. Please do some more Evanescence. Start with "The Open Door" album. So good.
I remember listening to this when changing the 383 engine out of my 69 road runner and putting in a 440. It took a whole week to do but was well worth it. Many late nights under the lights listening to this very song. Good times.
HERE IS A SPECIAL COMBINATION VIDEO FOR YOU TO REACT TO (LINK) Heart - Stairway to Heaven (Live at Kennedy Center Honors) Tribute -- Heart singing Led Zepplin's Stairway to Heaven with the Obama's in tribute on Dec. 2, 2012 at Kennedy Center The drummer wearing the English bowler hats in honor of John Bonham, the band's drummer who died in 1980. His son drumming for this performance is Jason Bonham. And they also have a mixed choir with the men singers also wearing bowlers. Heart - Stairway to Heaven (Live at Kennedy Center Honors) [FULL VERSION] ruclips.net/video/LFxOaDeJmXk/видео.html
The song is about back in the seventies there were pretty much the only female group rock group and her and her sister were very tight like best friends and people referring to them as lesbians and it was basically a diss track to all them people that were making fun of them
Im 59 yrs. old and I'd go back to the 70s and 80s in a heartbeat. Music now, ...most of it can fly away far!! Thanks for the Great reaction.. Love you guys!!
If you'd like to experience some of their 80's stuff (big hair and all) 'These Dreams' is one of the songs when Nancy actually is the lead singer (instead of playing guitar), although it is more a ballad, and 'Alone'. As others have suggested, check out their performance at the Lincoln Center, it's more recent, and one of the most amazing things you will ever see, but first watch the original Led Zepplin 'Stairway to Heaven" so you have something to reference. They have so many hits, it's easy to go down the Heart rabbit hole.
I am a 70's girl myself. There were very few women rock bands. Along with Heart, Bonnie Raitt, Fleetwood Mac & Linda Ronstadt were the few bands with females. They have paved the way.
Damn you a lucky man dawg, cuz when your lady's diggin what y'all are listenin to, there's not another woman reactor with a bigger, prettier smile anywhere on youtube ...I mean she's all pearly white teeth when she's diggin a song, it's awesome to see...y'all are doin a damn good job with this reaction channel bro, how you don't have more subs I don't know...✌🏻🇺🇸
Saw them in 79 at the Texxas Jam. It's was 110 on the field at the Cotton Bowl. They came on later as the sun went down. The wind started blowing and their outfits were blowing in the wind. They had to cut early because of rain and electrocution, but what we did see was just fire. At 63 I can still see those silk outfits blowing in the wind.
Totally agree with David Phillips below. My two favorite songs are "Alone", where you hear why Ann Wilson is considered one of the greatest female rock voices. and "These Dreams" where Nancy Wilson does a truly great job as the lead vocal. And if you want to hear them do the best cover performance ever, listen/watch their cover of "Stairway to Heaven", (Live at Kennedy Center Honors), performed in front of Led Zeppelin, the group that made it one of the best and most famous rock songs of all time, and President and First Lady Obama, among others.
Barracuda was in reference of the label and anyone trying to take, steal, all their writing credits and control them. The main lawyer/label rep was the “Barracuda” … The singer, and blond guitarist are sisters, and they both were dating the 2 guys in the group… “Magic Man” was about the singers relationship at the time. Wilson sisters fought amongst all male leading bands to write these awesome songs… Peace!
It wasn't about writing credits. It was about the PR done by their label, some of which implied the sisters were in an incestuous lesbian relationship.
Growing up listening to this band I never heard either of those but who knows? To me I always thought this was about a type of man. Back in the 1970's a barracuda was another word for a wolf, a dog, or a playa. This is from the perspective of a woman who once fell prey to his game.
I seen them talk about it on Howard Stern... basically to make it back in those you were expected to sleep with someone if you were female. They refused. a Barracuda was in reference to all those who could sign you to a record deal but wanted a happy ending first! They kicked as and did on thier own!!
@@edwardlongshanks827 Writing credits as in publishing rights… Yes, the label put out the idea the sisters were lesbians, which caused issues during that time.. The same thing is being said, and the song was a hit back on those label members that were trying to control as usual what they could. Bottom line label take over, and being female took more to get to where they ended up. Great band, many great songs,… Amazing vocals, guitar, and songs…
My parents listened to all types of music when i was a kid and i was givin a box of their old vinyl records and that Heart record was in there. Hell they even had " Jam on it" in there...lol. Definitely check out Heart's " Magic Man"
Ok. Here's a special one for you both. Stairway to Heaven - Heart Live at Kennedy Center Honors. It may be the greatest version of Stairway to Heaven ever. I would very much encourage a reaction for that!
Sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson are still going strong today… 50 years and still the baddest Female Rockers. Take a journey of their work! Never These Dreams Magic Man Dog and Butterfly…. Too many to list!

I'm 68 years old and when people ask me what the best part of my life was I say it was being to grow up with 60's and 70's music. It was a magic time.
I’m a young 60 and 70’s was by magic time for music. Real musicians and voices!
I’ll be 68 in less than 2 months, & I totally agree with you. It was a magical time for me. I like that the younger folks are learning about & appreciating those that came before. A special shout out to the musicians in the 50s that started a whole new genre.
100%
My dad is 63 and his music really puts me into a land of magic lol I’m 21. My dad was a roadie for Cinderella
Absolutely. I was lucky to grow up in this era too. Unmatched lyrics, vocals, instrumentals, and arrangement from all of the bands.
This song is about a record exec started a rumor that the sisters had a lesbian relationship(to increase record sales). When Ann found out she wrote this song that night.
Yes, you'd think that claiming your clients were involved in an incestuous relationship would be negative publicity. I hope they fired his ass!
Really? I mean it is definitely a very sexual song, but doesn't sound like it is talking about a lesbian relationship. Sounds like she is talking about some kind of John Holmes type dude.
@Norwegisn Blue
The song itself isn't about an incestuous lesbian relationship, its Ann Wilson's response to the record exec sinking so low as to spread that rumour.

Magic Man and Crazy on You are a couple of their other greatest hits 🎶🎵🎼🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤
STRAIGHT ON(for you), IF LOOKS COULD KILL.......... so many great songs......
D’Ann walker: those two and barracuda are the best
Oh Heart two sisters that Rocked the 70’s & 80’s. Still rocking … you gotta go hear their rendition of Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven . It was at the Kennedy Center Honoring Led Zeppelin . Jason Bonham played his daddy’s set of drums that night . This was very emotional for everyone that grew up with Led Zeppelin. John Bonham was the best drummer in my world .

I second that!
I fully support this. Even President Obama was into it.
Definitely
Maybe the most beautiful music ever recorded! Can't wait to see you guys get blown away at it's perfection. I agree with Lisa Ray, Pure magic!
Honestly, it's the best cover I've ever heard , probably the best cover ever. Man , they are ultra talented and those pipes of
Ann !! I guess it's only appropriate that it would take Rock Goddesses to flawlessly sing the song of Rock Gods.

I love that song 💯🔥
Her facial reaction while listening to the song and hearing the female singer just says it all. Heart is an amazing powerful band with awesome vocals and amazing guitar and drums
One of the extremely rare women rockers of that time. Ann ( vocals) and Nancy (guitar) Wilson. They are STILL rocking.
It was called a "Shag " hairstyle/haircut. I know I lived thru it! 😆💜
And it was a great look too!
Yeah, mullets didn't come around until the 80's, I believe, lol. Different do
I had a shag then , although in Australia it was called a shaggy dog…..I WAS only 10 yo
@Joe Brandon well done you. That must have been exhilarating
Well, there is a reason Heart is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
One of rock's greatest female vocalist.
The Wilson sisters are a force to be reckoned with Ann Wilson is one of the greatest female rock singers of a generation
Her voice always gives me goosebumps
The drummer kills it from start to finish!
Very underrated drummer Michael DeRosier!
He is amazing!
The drummer is absolutely fantastic! What talent!!!
Barracuda was written by Ann Wilson when a record label exec made a derogatory comment about her and her sister Nancy. She penned the song in retaliation and it became a hit. Heart is one of my faves…thanks for the reaction!
Yep old school. Real voices and talent. No Auto-tune for the people who can't really sing.
So true and this was live!!!
Absolutely 💯 ❤
One of the best female rock singers there is.Ann Wilson
Heart is one of the best bands ever still going after all the years
One of the greatest rock voices of all time
The greatest IMO 🙂
@@McShaganpronouncedShaegen Nah man, Robert Plant is the GOAT. But she's one of the greatest for sure.
Checkout Heart's tribute to Led Zeppelin at the Kennedy Honors performance. The sang "Stairway To Heaven" and it was phenomenal...def must see!
Magic man ...and Straight On !!
Btw the drums n bass are driving this song !
Thank you. That's exactly what I was thinking.
You need to watch Heart at the Kennedy Center, they cover Stairway to heaven with Led Zeppelin in attendance. As always, excellent reaction.
A must!!!!
A MUST watch
Great performance
Oh man, the looks on Page and Plants faces during that performance, it's a beautiful moment for sure.
Have they heard the original? I feel like it wouldn't have the same impact without having heard the original.
Magic Man is a must listen. Makes me think of Asia and ACal. 😂❤
The Wilson sisters showed the world that women could rock hard. Ann's voice and perfect pitch are unparalleled to this day.
Heart's tribute to Led Zeppelin at the Kennedy Center Honors, Stairway to Heaven with 2 choirs, John Bohnams son playing drums. Bring tears to my eyes every time I watch it. Spine tingles!
That was the cover ever! ❤❤❤
Not only can these ladies sing between them they can play more than 20 different instruments.
I’m lucky that I saw them live a few times.
Heart--brunette, Ann Wilson, blonde--Nancy Wilson, sisters. Voted top female rockers of all time🎶🎵 Need to do Crazy On You😎
I have listened to this song countless times, and it still fantastic. And the Bass in this is absolutely killer

Song about the music industry who at one point tried to start a rumor that she and her sister ( the blonde in the band) were lovers
Raw true talent.... no auto tune.... pure singing voice. these sisters didn't mess around when it came to Rock. OGs and legendary
Heart is at the top of the list for me. “Magic Man” is a favorite of mine. 🔥 Check it out. Enjoyed the reaction.
Anne and Nancy Wilson were sisters and formed this great Band. Those girls were freaking great. Saw them in Seattle in "1977" and they burned the place down! One of the best concerts, and I've seen most of the top Bands in the world.
Love ❤️ seen them a few times in concert!!
Alone
Magic Man
Crazy on You
Tribute to Led Zeppelin singing Stairway to Heaven is fire 🔥
Stood out? The greatest female rock vocalist- that's why they are in the rock n roll hall of fame.
LOVE it when younger folks dig the 60's and 70's music
The Wilson sisters rocked!!!
Some days all you need is a little Ann and Nancy Wilson in your life. Dreamboat Annie, Alone, Stranded, Magic Man, Crazy On You. Their catalog is deep and rich
Crazy On You and their Kennedy Center tribute to Zepp's Stairway to Heaven are other live classics to be watched!

Heart was my 1st rock concert, and Barracuda has always been my favorite off this album. Hell of a concert as well. Timeless Classic ♥️
Her voice is so amazing! Anytime someone attempts to sing it on Idol or whatever it’s like - oh no, this is not going to go well! Lol
True, if you want to do a cover and do it well then you have to be at least as good to the voice you are following but because she has no equal that makes it really tough. The amazing thing is Nancy was lead vocals for their only #1 hit "Never." \0/
What does the woman have to do to get a #1 hit around here? lol
My fav band of all time. Been a fan for 40yrs. These Ladies are still touring and still rocking it out!
Anne and Nancy Wilson, talented and just beautiful, what's not to love?
Love the reaction!!! They have so many hits,....A couple of my faves are "Heartless" & "Kick It Out"!! Had to add "Straight On" too...😁
Yes, Heart blew alot of Bands off the Stage, Ann Wilson/Vocals & Nancy Wilson/Guitar with Roger Fisher/Lead Guitar put the Energy and Volume into Live Performances, Amazing how Anns Vocals Projected Through the Mix even at the Volume they played at, Incredible Singer. Ann & Nancy wrote this about a Record Company Executive they considered a Predator. Thank You.
Heart has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Hard to believe ya'll didnt mention Ann's powerhouse voice. One of the best female rock voices of all time. 70's rock style was more about the music than hair.
Straight on For You and Magic Man are two other great songs by Heart. Straight On For You is particularly groovy IMO
HEART...Ann & Nancy Wilson...2 Legendary Rock Goddesses who have always
been Gypsy in their heart. :-)
This song came out 1978ish, and These Fabulous Master Musicians still Rocking Live in 2021.... 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎤🎸🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎤🎸
Saw Heart during this tour on the beach in FL when I was 8 years old….was soooo amazing!!!
As soon as Ann starts to sing you see Asia smile in my guess sister loyalty rconizing a great singer. kudos Asia!
The song is about taking a shot at there record label. Promoter in particular. Who at one time thought that the singer (Ann Wilson) was a lesbian and having a love affair with her sister. Guitarist (Nancy Wilson.
I think I saw them live three times--once up close. Good old days with Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Yes, and on and on. Please do some more Evanescence. Start with "The Open Door" album. So good.
Nobody can rock like Ann and Nancy Wilson!!! They are icons!!!
I remember listening to this when changing the 383 engine out of my 69 road runner and putting in a 440. It took a whole week to do but was well worth it. Many late nights under the lights listening to this very song. Good times.
Simply the greatest female Rock vocalist of all .

And please react to Heart’s live performance of Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway To Heaven”!! It blew my socks off!
Yes! Ann and Nancy Wilson are LEGENDS!
The song is about back in the seventies there were pretty much the only female group rock group and her and her sister were very tight like best friends and people referring to them as lesbians and it was basically a diss track to all them people that were making fun of them
This isn't just good ass rock..But breakthrough stuff for women in Rock. Heart are Pioneers!!
The best of the best! No female voice as powerful! No editing nothing but pure true vocal talent!
sweet the first concert I went to...Nancy Wilson was the one who inspired me to play guitar
Great music. Real musicians playing instruments and great voices singing..
Im 59 yrs. old and I'd go back to the 70s and 80s in a heartbeat. Music now, ...most of it can fly away far!!
Thanks for the Great reaction.. Love you guys!!
Looooove me some Heart! Always amazing vocals and guitar work but MAD PROPS to the drummer in this! He never stopped! /m\
"Barracuda" is a song by American rock band Heart from their third studio album, Little Queen (1977), and was released as the album's lead single.
If you'd like to experience some of their 80's stuff (big hair and all) 'These Dreams' is one of the songs when Nancy actually is the lead singer (instead of playing guitar), although it is more a ballad, and 'Alone'. As others have suggested, check out their performance at the Lincoln Center, it's more recent, and one of the most amazing things you will ever see, but first watch the original Led Zepplin 'Stairway to Heaven" so you have something to reference. They have so many hits, it's easy to go down the Heart rabbit hole.
These to ladies will always be in my opinion true females goatsof ROCK!!! the band behind he are awesome just pure talent
I remember playing this album and Rumors by Fleetwood Mac back to back. ❤✌
I am a 70's girl myself. There were very few women rock bands. Along with Heart, Bonnie Raitt, Fleetwood Mac & Linda Ronstadt were the few bands with females. They have paved the way.
Damn you a lucky man dawg, cuz when your lady's diggin what y'all are listenin to, there's not another woman reactor with a bigger, prettier smile anywhere on youtube ...I mean she's all pearly white teeth when she's diggin a song, it's awesome to see...y'all are doin a damn good job with this reaction channel bro, how you don't have more subs I don't know...✌🏻🇺🇸
Beutiful woman with a Beutiful voice. What a front for a band. Ann and Nancy , sisters chisled from some damn fine rock.
Saw them in 79 at the Texxas Jam. It's was 110 on the field at the Cotton Bowl. They came on later as the sun went down. The wind started blowing and their outfits were blowing in the wind. They had to cut early because of rain and electrocution, but what we did see was just fire. At 63 I can still see those silk outfits blowing in the wind.
Ann Wilson is one of the most iconic voices in rock Her sister Nancy is also rated one of the best guitarists in rock
I love Asia's reaction to this all-time classic..what a beautiful smile
i can understand if, style-wise, you don't enjoy the song that much... but, damn, that girl has a voice..!!!!!
of course us heart fans know what this song is about
Nancy gets to show off her beautiful voice in a song named "These Dreams".
Totally agree with David Phillips below. My two favorite songs are "Alone", where you hear why Ann Wilson is considered one of the greatest female rock voices. and "These Dreams" where Nancy Wilson does a truly great job as the lead vocal.
And if you want to hear them do the best cover performance ever, listen/watch their cover of "Stairway to Heaven", (Live at Kennedy Center Honors), performed in front of Led Zeppelin, the group that made it one of the best and most famous rock songs of all time, and President and First Lady Obama, among others.
Barracuda was in reference of the label and anyone trying to take, steal, all their writing credits and control them. The main lawyer/label rep was the “Barracuda” … The singer, and blond guitarist are sisters, and they both were dating the 2 guys in the group… “Magic Man” was about the singers relationship at the time.

Heart is the first great female rock band. Definitely paved the way for other female rockers.
Before Heart, there were a few that opened the trail for them. Janis and Grace. Ann and Nancy were at the beginning of an era of women fronting bands.
It's called a Gallop riff,used in many songs,mostly rock
Heart just performed this live on jimmy fallon show 2 weeks ago and they sound amazing even in their 70s
My parents listened to all types of music when i was a kid and i was givin a box of their old vinyl records and that Heart record was in there. Hell they even had " Jam on it" in there...lol. Definitely check out Heart's " Magic Man"
Her vocals are outstanding.
Heart: awesome vocals and instrumentals.
2 sister's Ann and Nancy Wilson
Ann on vocals Nancy on lead guitar..
Ok. Here's a special one for you both.
Stairway to Heaven - Heart Live at Kennedy Center Honors. It may be the greatest version of Stairway to Heaven ever. I would very much encourage a reaction for that!
Yes please, that performance is epic!!!
I think this is my favourite female lead song... ever
Heart - Alone
Sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson are still going strong today… 50 years and still the baddest Female Rockers. Take a journey of their work!
Never
These Dreams
Magic Man
Dog and Butterfly…. Too many to list!
They were awesome in concert!!! Ann Wilson in my opinion is the best female rock artist of all time, her sister Nancy too!!
you are 100% right, in the 70's and 80's you HAD to SHOW & PROVE.. Heart was a KICK ass band, peace yall !
