In the past year I have begun to think that collectively we have taken the band Heart and their music for granted. It seems as though that their music has been on the radio forever and their songs have been classic rock radio staples for as long as there has been a “classic rock” radio format.

Somehow it has been mostly forgotten what a groundbreaking act Heart was when they arrived. The song “Magic Man” was a massive hit; it was polished, and unique, and it rocked. A steady stream of hits followed and Heart was a true rock and roll band led on stage by Ann and Nancy Wilson who brought it every night.

Heart’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame seemed to give the band a second wind and they hit the road hard with the public relations boost that comes with the HOF induction. The music is still great, Ann is in great voice, and the band still rocks.

Crazy on You

Rock on
