Another song you could honor Tina Turner on female Friday is "It's Only Love", her duet with Bryan Adams. The concert version is absolute 🔥 🔥 🔥. You guys will be floored by their chemistry.
Some of Heart's best songs are the ones that were only heard on Album Oriented Rock stations. If you want some true heavy rock check some of the songs that were Album Rock hits (vs. Top 40 singles like this one). Some of the best: Mistral Wind (most diehard fans feel like it's the best cut they ever recorded, and Nancy is on record as saying it's the best Heart song of their career), Black on Black, Bad Animals (the title cut from this album), Kick it Out, Devil Delight, If Looks Could Kill, The Night, Wild Child.
In case anyone is wondering why all the animated cave drawing animals were flying around throughout the video it's because the album this song came off of was called Bad Animals. The front of the album was plain white with the band name and cave drawings of five tricked up looking animals. Each drawing represented one of the five band members, and in the video each animal comes into the video off the band member it's tied to (i.e. Nancy has a tattoo of the green animal that comes to life and Ann is cutting her animal into the wall when it comes to life). It made more sense then because the album was one of the biggest bands and the album was one of the biggest albums of the year.
Heart never had a bad album, and "Bad Animals" is my favorite!!! You still have some great ones from that album to check out. "I Want You So Bad," "There's The Girl" and "Bad Animals" are three more from that album that are essential.
Bad Animals was my least favorite of their Capitol albums, but that's like saying flying first class is my least favorite form of luxury travel. I just felt like it was far mellower and more pop oriented than their other albums. But with that said, my favorite album track off all the Capitol albums is the title cut to Bad Animals. Overall, their first four albums plus Brigade and Desire Walks on are my favorite studio albums.
I agree that Bad Animals is a great follow up album to the self titled 1985 HEART. There's The Girl and the #1 hit Alone. Ann Wilson has one of the most singular voices in rock history.
Need to get back to 70’s Heart! “Kick It Out” will wake you up for sure! “Little Queen” “Even It Up” & “White Lightning & Wine” are classics. “Dog & Butterfly” shows off a softer, acoustic sound if you want a more mellow side.
Ann's voice is such an amazing instrument. She can shatter concrete blocks, or lightly tickle the ears like a feather. She can be a hurricane, or a gentle spring breeze.
Ann when she hits her upper register power notes is untouchable! Definitely one of the best vocalists ever. LOL Nancy ain't shabby either. The band absolutely ROCKS!!!
Thank you for getting back to reacting to Heart! Two live songs they do that you must react to are "Dog and Butterfly" and their cover of Led Zeppelin's "The Battle of Evermore"! Looking forward to your reaction already!!
Ann and Nancy were raised by someone in the military and they would do campfire singing and they got their musical influence by the way of the parents. They have more siblings but no one went into the industry like that and they had another friend who helped write a lot of the songs from the seventies albums
Speaking of hidden gems, I want to push your investigation of the Beatles. Paperback Writer, Helter Skelter, and Ticket to Ride are three Beatles songs with sounds unlike any you've done so far. Have a Fancy Friday!!!
Thank you for playing my song. Love it! Love you both! Some other Heart tunes to consider "Will you be there in the morning" sung by Nancy "There's the girl" sung by Nancy "Nothing at all" Ann "Stranded" Nancy "If looks could kill" Ann "Magic Man" Ann (Not sure you did this one)
The subtle driving riffs in this song get me every time. Instantly transported to life in the late 80's. No other voice like Ann! You guys should visit Magic Man if you haven't yet.
This was actually one of their bigger hits. They generally weren't a big singles band but this one hit the Top 10. I guess maybe it seems deeper into the catalog since it doesn't get the airplay of their early classics. They are one of those bands that, at least in the 80s and 90s, their album cuts were far superior to the singles.
Was listening to this today on the way from work and thought maybe this deserves a reaction. Thank you for listening to a top 3 female vocalist; #1 for me and I’ve been around for a while.
Omg, have you heard Ann Wilson and Mike Reno's (frontman of Loverboy) duet, Almost Paradise? A tiny clip of it i's in the prom scene at the end of Footloose
There's also, NOBODY HOME - a song (by Heart), that is rarely mentioned outside video uploads of it. One of their most mellow, and underrated songs (in my opinion).
Always a good day when Heart is on the channel. You guys have done quite a few so we're getting down the not so mainstream ones which is awesome because those are some of my favorites of theirs. "If Looks Could Kill", "I Want You So Bad", "There's The Girl", "Nothin' At All" and "Will You Be There (In The Morning) are a few more. 😎👍
I really hope you two go back to explore more of Heart's Progressive Rock days. Here's just a few from those days to check out: "Magic Man" "Crazy on You" "Sing Child" "Love Alive" "Little Queen" "Say Hello" "Cook with Fire" "Straight On" "Dog & Butterfly" "Nada One" "Mistral Wind"
Mistral is the best studio recording Heart ever made. The only album I've ever felt anything prog from was Dreamboat Annie. The other early albums were pretty straight up Zeppelinesque rock. One later song that does sound prog is the title cut from Bad Animals. While that album is from their commercial period, the title song sounds like it was influenced by Comfortably Numb, midtempo with very heavy guitar, and is written by the entire band. It's structure is similar to Devil Delight with the heavy/soft minor chord/major chord passages, very heavy guitar, and Ann's voice is on fire. It's the best album cut from their Capitol Records period, so even if you don't care for that period check it out -- it's definitely not a Diane Warren song .
@@chrisacer6605 You and I have a completely different definition of progressive rock and pop rock. Led Zeppelin is a Progressive Hard Rock band by my definition. SIDENOTE: John Paul Jones shares my definition with the exception of calling it Hard Rock. He was quoted to say Led Zeppelin is a Progressive Rock Band.
I saw Heart at Iowa Jam in 1977. Absolutely top tier. Have a pocket in my Heart for Ann & Nancy ever since. The other bands appearing at that show were the J Geils Band, Foghat and Marshall Tucker. Good, good times!
Ann and Nancy both said that Ann's relatively obscured presence (and the tight shots of her) in this video was because the record company was uptight about Ann's weight and so they made every effort to avoid showing her body.
They used a "Stunt Ann" in this video too. Toward the end there is a clip of Ann way in the background dancing, and it's a stand in. There is also a "Stunt Ann" in the These Dreams video when the camera goes through the glass wall toward a figure that is supposed to be Ann. On that one you can pause the video at the closest frame and see that whomever that is has a much bigger nose than Ann.
It is crazy the tricks they went through to hide her weight gain. I didn't even realize it at the time until a cousin of mine saw them in concert and said she was surprised Ann had gained so much weight. Then hearing years later Ann talk about the way they treated her and if you go back and watch the videos and look at the album covers and posters they used every trick in the book to hide her and push Nancy to the front. So sad.
I lived through the 80s and I really like Heart but I’ve never heard this song. Thanks to whoever recommended it! I love being surprised! Jay and Amber, you guys are the best!!
New to your channel, loving it. Ann Wilson is my favourite singer and as I'm 62 had the pleasure of buying vinyl and finding New music. Dreamboat Annie was one of the first albums I bought. I recommend a listen to Frank Turner and Four Simple Words, best wishes Paul
This whole album is engrained in my memory and truly hearing this, I can close my eyes and it's 1987 again I just got married and out first child is on the way 😊 The whole album does this!
I absolutely love old school 70's Heart, but the Heart album and Bad Animals,were my jam ,too! Who Will You Run To is a favorite of mine from that era. I was stoked to see it up
Ive been waiting for this. Loves me some Wilson sister's and Heart! I was a huge fan in the 80's and 90's. Who Will You Run To is a favorite from this era to me. You should do Nothing At All next from 1985. Also, Kick it Out. Please
Gotta do Even it Up! Also their cover of Led Zeppelin’s Rock and Roll with Jason Bonham playing drums!!! Heart is awesome! Such a part of my teenage years!!!!❤️
So glad you love HEART!! Nancy sings "There's the Girl" on this album. TOTALLY worth a listen!! (where did the HEART album cover go? Get a frame for that yet?? Much love!!!_.
When "Bad Animals" came out in the summer of 1987, my older sister had the cassette and she was playing soccer at night in a indoor pavillion in Phoenix, AZ. I would go with her and the radio in her little blue Nissan truck didnt work, so she had a am/fm cassette player she lugged around to play music in her truck. We played "Bad Animals" on our way to the soccer pavillion at night, and the truck had no air conditioning. We had the windows rolled down and with the cool summer Phoenix air, "Bad Animals" playing on that cassette player and the city passing us by, it was a time to remember.
I still have my Bad Animals CD those characters in the video are on their album cover-Bad Animals. Several good songs on this album including the great song ALONE.
Their album Bad Animals was great, I listened to it so many times that know them songs by Heart, no pund intended, Great pick, always admire Nancy and Ann
This is one that is overshadowed in the catalog of this band. Ann Wilson does it some amazing notes but her voice is mesmerizing when she does the slower material. Give it a try. The first one, if you have not heard it already, is Alone. That is a bombastic banger.
There is another song on this same album called “Wait for an answer “ that is not typical Heart, but Ann shows off everything that she can do with her voice and talent. It is a real showcase of her talent.
Doesn't matter the decade...70's, 80's...now...Heart rocks!! This is such a great banger. If you want something slightly different, but still AMAZING...check out Sylvan Song/Dream Of The Archer from their second album Little Queen - you're going to hear Ann's voice & Nancy's guitar in a whole new light!
Wilson sisters are sublime…I encourage you to listen and react to another beautiful song and voice by the late studio singer Valerie Carter. Her song is “OOH CHILD”
The Wilson's come from Bellevue, Washington. A guy I used to work for in Central Oregon and his older siblings went to Bellevue High School. When whatever it was that caused there to be a special day, the ladies' father was a teacher there and the band would play concerts at the high school. Can you imagine?
My dad told me about when he saw them playing in a bar in Seattle before they made it big. Wish I could've been there to see that. But I did get to see them in concert. My first concert when I was 9 years old
Ann was put through hell by the record companies in the '80s. They kept trying to put her in the background and push Nancy as the frontwoman because Ann was heavier. In the music videos she'd be shown sparingly, and always in a way that hid her body as much as possible. Ann and Nancy both dealt with sexism throughout their entire careers for being incredible musicians in a male-dominated genre, and always stayed classy and true to themselves.
It was disgusting and just shows that authenticity was not valued then. But when you're a public figure, especially an entertainer who allows yourself to be treated as a sex symbol then you bear some responsibility to take care of yourself too. Any singer of any band who is high profile enough to be on posters (and Ann and Nancy had posters during that time -- I had one in my bedroom) should know that if they gain a great deal of weight like Ann did it can hurt their image. So as awful as she was treated, Ann was complicit too. There are pictures on the internet of Ann from the mid to late 90s (her heaviest period) where she is almost unrecognizable and I feel bad that she felt so surprised when people made an issue of it. But most of all I blame the video producers and Heart's management for thinking if they just hid the weight gain in the videos that no one would ever know. Because of them not letting her evolve authentically people were absolutely shocked when they saw her in real life because all they had seen of her were those videos where she was either hidden, recorded through a "slimming" lens, or the worst was having a thin "Stunt Ann" with a blurred face stand in for her (These Dreams and this video near the end where she is dancing in the background -- that wasn't Ann dancing). It was a terrible, painful period for Ann but she could have avoided it if she had taken better care of herself and it would have been less shocking if they hadn't tried to cover it up. When they go to those levels to hide someone's flaws the end result is worse than the flaws.
Ann Wilson is not only one of the greatest female vocalists ever, but one of the best vocalists ever male or female!!
True!...but Wonder Woman for president...
To me her and Annie Lennox are the two best female voices of all time and both are in my top 10 rock voices
-and nancy-
Agree on Ann Wilson and Annie Lenox. I also absolutely love Haley Reinhart, especially her work with Post Modern Jukebox.
Absolute truth!!!
"If Looks Could KIll" is another good one from Heart.
Definitely 👍
I LOVE that song! ❤
Another song you could honor Tina Turner on female Friday is "It's Only Love", her duet with Bryan Adams. The concert version is absolute 🔥 🔥 🔥. You guys will be floored by their chemistry.
By the way, "Easy Target" is another great in your face rocking song by Heart.
Facts! That performance is Pure rock and roll
Totally agree.
Great idea. I have suggested it several times!
@Craig dragseth I have as well. One day it will eventually happen.
Jay & Amber, you will LOVE their "Kick It Out" and "Dog and Butterfly" !!! A banger and a soft one!
One for Jay and one for Amber good move 😁
Love them both! Dog and Butterfly is one that puts me in such a good mood!
I actually came here to write your comment!😂
They've done Dog and Butterfly,I believe ,but definitely Kick it Out

As a teenager in the 80’s, this was “the norm” on the radio and didn’t realize how amazing Heart was at the time. Thanks for appreciating them.

Heart is definitely one of the best rock bands ever! Ann's voice is right up there with Steve Perry's of Journey.

So glad I had Heart as the soundtrack of my childhood!! These girls always rocked and there music is timeless!!
All of Heart's songs are brilliant!
Heart made incredible music
The rock gods broke the mold after they created Ann Wilson!
"Tell it like it is" should be next. She shows her range on that one.
Which album is that from,again? Private Audition?
Have they done Dog & Butterfly?
@@brianmcmaster5112 Greatest Hits Live
Tell it Like It Is and Magic Man were their only Top 10 singles prior to 1985.
💖Heart will always be one of my all time favorite groups!!!! Love their rock, but also love their softer stuff, Dog and Butterfly and Steamboat Annie.

I love this band and this song is actually one of my favorites. One word: Attitude. This song absolutely has it.
Nothing but pure talent 🔥
For the next Heart reaction, "If Looks Could Kill" is a banger! "Nothin' At All" is another good one!
Saw Heart when they toured with Def Leppard in 2011 in Melbourne Australia! 😎🔥🤘🎸
It seems like Ann and Nancy respect each others talent and give each other the space to shine in the songs. They also seem to appreciate each other.
I have seen Heart twice live in St Louis and still one of the best live bands I have ever seen. Hope Nancy and Ann make up one day and tour again.
Heart Wild Child is a banger. I really like I Didn't Want to Need you as well.
Heart was so Awesome in concert! Never ever disappointed. ♥️
Maybe my favorite Heart song. The harmonies are fantastic, and the outro is their best.
I saw Heart live in 1983. Ann Wilson is amazing. Jay and Amber, You'll love "Even It Up" a great banger Ann and Nancy are stellar.

The music industry is dirty 🤬
True, in order to keep the contract, they went along with the record company wishes.
Something they regret in doing afterwards.
Think how far things have come thinking of Lizzo. The MTV era was not the best for women.
They used a "Stunt Ann" in this video too. Toward the end there is a clip of Ann way in the background dancing, and it's a stand in.

Yes! Heart's (nearly) best song. KRANK IT!! Did they do Dog & Butterfly?
DOG & BUTTERFLY! DOG & BUTTERFLY! DOG & BUTTERFLY! DOG & BUTTERFLY!
Great point, Amber, about the band matching Ann's intensity.
I still have my Bad Animals CD those characters in the video are on their album cover-Bad Animals. Several good songs on this album including the great song ALONE.
Their album Bad Animals was great, I listened to it so many times that know them songs by Heart, no pund intended, Great pick, always admire Nancy and Ann
smiling i went tosee Heart concert in 80's 90's twice ,they are so best live.
Bad Animals is such a criminally underrated Heart album!
I've never thought of it as underrated. It's their second biggest selling album and had a recording studio named after it.
This is one that is overshadowed in the catalog of this band. Ann Wilson does it some amazing notes but her voice is mesmerizing when she does the slower material. Give it a try. The first one, if you have not heard it already, is Alone. That is a bombastic banger.
There is another song on this same album called “Wait for an answer “ that is not typical Heart, but Ann shows off everything that she can do with her voice and talent. It is a real showcase of her talent.
Doesn't matter the decade...70's, 80's...now...Heart rocks!! This is such a great banger.
If you want something slightly different, but still AMAZING...check out Sylvan Song/Dream Of The Archer from their second album Little Queen - you're going to hear Ann's voice & Nancy's guitar in a whole new light!
I got to see Heart live back in the day, and man they were AMAZING!
Yes!!!! One of the hidden gems of a song that I love from heart, good breakup song for me in my teens
The Queen of Rock, Ann Wilson!
love heart
One of their best imo.
Wilson sisters are sublime…I encourage you to listen and react to another beautiful song and voice by the late studio singer Valerie Carter. Her song is “OOH CHILD”
*Heart - "Stranded".. Such a great song (one of my faves) and Nancy sings this one.*
The Wilson's come from Bellevue, Washington. A guy I used to work for in Central Oregon and his older siblings went to Bellevue High School. When whatever it was that caused there to be a special day, the ladies' father was a teacher there and the band would play concerts at the high school. Can you imagine?
Sister Nancy has a pretty good voice as well
I love how they incorporated the "Bad Animals" figures in the video. Howard Leese deserves a lot of credit for the bands musical direction imo.
The country equivalent to this song is Pam Tillis' "Its Lonely Out There". Another great female singer.
Nothin' At All should be the next Heart song...😊
I Didn’t Want to Need You is a must listen to
7:28, ''I Love Heart'' J and Amber in Unison with the Room. We Love Heart. !!
there's that smile you gave me again. Thanks for that !!
My dad told me about when he saw them playing in a bar in Seattle before they made it big. Wish I could've been there to see that. But I did get to see them in concert. My first concert when I was 9 years old
#7 on the Hot 100 back in 1987 and followup single to "Alone"
A couple of earlier Heart tracks worth looking at would be Dreamboat Annie and Dog and Butterfly. Hell there all great and even better live.
Ann was put through hell by the record companies in the '80s. They kept trying to put her in the background and push Nancy as the frontwoman because Ann was heavier. In the music videos she'd be shown sparingly, and always in a way that hid her body as much as possible.
Ann and Nancy both dealt with sexism throughout their entire careers for being incredible musicians in a male-dominated genre, and always stayed classy and true to themselves.
The whole video thing was disgusting...and obvious.
The sad thing is Anne. Was always very pretty. Whether she was thin or heavy she was gorgeous. And she always kept it classy. That helped.
It was disgusting and just shows that authenticity was not valued then. But when you're a public figure, especially an entertainer who allows yourself to be treated as a sex symbol then you bear some responsibility to take care of yourself too. Any singer of any band who is high profile enough to be on posters (and Ann and Nancy had posters during that time -- I had one in my bedroom) should know that if they gain a great deal of weight like Ann did it can hurt their image. So as awful as she was treated, Ann was complicit too. There are pictures on the internet of Ann from the mid to late 90s (her heaviest period) where she is almost unrecognizable and I feel bad that she felt so surprised when people made an issue of it. But most of all I blame the video producers and Heart's management for thinking if they just hid the weight gain in the videos that no one would ever know. Because of them not letting her evolve authentically people were absolutely shocked when they saw her in real life because all they had seen of her were those videos where she was either hidden, recorded through a "slimming" lens, or the worst was having a thin "Stunt Ann" with a blurred face stand in for her (These Dreams and this video near the end where she is dancing in the background -- that wasn't Ann dancing). It was a terrible, painful period for Ann but she could have avoided it if she had taken better care of herself and it would have been less shocking if they hadn't tried to cover it up. When they go to those levels to hide someone's flaws the end result is worse than the flaws.
that stairway cover was amazing. heart is amazing.
Great people. Thank you so much.
