A little back-story for regarding Heart. I knew them prior to
the release of their Self-Title album, but I was never a fan. By
that, I mean I didn't own or go out seeking their back catalog.
But I would definitely listen to their biggest hits on the radio
like Magic Man, Barracuda, etc....I was still a product of
basically being a Metal-head and although I liked Classic Rock
at the time, it was still out of my wheelhouse. So, 1985 rolls
around and what happens? I jump on board with what it regarding
as the most 'pop-oriented' Heart album at that time. Go figure.
So, the first time I saw the video for What About Love, I
immediately was hooked on the song of the summer. It was STUCK
in my head and I played that video over and over. That song
itself brings back a lot of memories, namely my days down at the
beach, hitting the boardwalk. Of course with that song I would
eventually get the album and it was chock-full of hit songs
after hit songs. And to my amazement, there were a couple of
"metal" songs that got an enthusiastic thumbs up from me. If
Looks Could Kill was a great wa to open the album with and it
rocked. But when I heard The Wolf, it just blew me away. It
still does.
This album is in fact a Greatest Hits album for me. It's got
pretty much an entire albums worth of hit songs that you know
and love. Ann Wilson shines big time here, but Nancy Wilson gets
her moment as well with These Dreams. They were anchored by the
incredible guitar work of Howard Leese who too me is one of the
most underrated guitar players of all time. As great as the
Wilson sisters are, he elevates the band to epic proportions.
Fave Songs: If Looks Could Kill, What About Love, These Dreams,
Never, Nobody's Home, Nothin' At All and The Wolf

As much as I love their previous release (Self-Titled), it's Bad
Animals that absolutely f*cking rocks. In spite of being
produced by one of my least favorite producers in the business,
this album excels in large part because of Ann Wilson's howling
voice and Howard Leese's stellar guitar work. You won't find a
better album to showcase Ann's incredible vocals here. It's
spine-tingling awesome that still has the hair on my arms
standing up. Sheesh. How the hell does she hits notes like that.
Throw a dart and hit a song and you will get her at her best.
Check out I Want You So Bad, Wait For The Answer and Bad Animals
to get some prime examples of her vocal prowess. But the corker
is of course Alone. My God, it's one of my all time favorite
tracks and it has the single greatest note she or anyone has
ever hit. You know it. Go to 2:05 of the song off the album.
Another reason why this song is one of the Greatest Songs of All
Time is the arrangement of the song that sends you to peaks and
valley's while you listen to it. Howard's solo is just icing on
the cake. All the songs pretty much follow this simple recipe of
great arrangements, bombastic vocals, kick ass guitar solo's. As
much as I love these songs, I think that opening up the album
with Who Will You Run To was absolutely the perfect song do it
with. Loooooooove it. Not to be out done though is Nancy Wilson
who once again gets a song to shine on with There's The Girl.
Although I do think that These Dreams is still her best song, I
still dig this one. RSVP was and is a great song to close out
the album.
Fave Songs: All of 'em. But my Top 5 are Who Will You Run To,
Alone, I Want You So Bad, Wait For The Answer and Bad Animals.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuude! It's the "non-hit" songs that kick major ass.
