- 'Little Queen' (1977) In hindsight, Heart's third LP felt much more like the proper follow-up to 'Dreamboat Annie.' The band's inimitable combination of rock and folk—which was already sharply defined on their debut—feels even more in focus.
- 'Dog and Butterfly' (1978) Cut from the same cloth as 1977's 'Little Queen,' this album alternates between dreamy folk passages and nervy classic rock grooves.
- 'Dreamboat Annie' (1976) Few first albums are as fully formed (and confident-sounding) as Heart's debut. Come for the classic singles "Crazy On You" and "Magic Man"; stay for the blues-country boogie "White Lightning & Wine," poetic gem "Soul Of The Sea" and the gentle, acoustic guitar-ruffled title track.
- 'Bebe Le Strange' (1980) This was the first Heart LP without Michael and Roger Fisher, which is perhaps why Ann and Nancy Wilson's songwriting feels so unconstrained by expectations.

- 'Barracuda' From: ‘Little Queen’ (1977) In the Top 100 Classic Rock Songs entry for ‘Barracuda,’ UCR said: “Stacked, Zeppelin-esque riffs rumble with the power of a buffalo stampede in tandem with the galloping drumming and [Ann Wilson’s] powerhouse voice — an instrument that’s simultaneously operatic, twang-touched and blues-based.
- ‘Crazy On You’ From: ‘Dreamboat Annie’ (1976) Besides ‘Barracuda’ (see No.1 on our list of the Top 10 Heart Songs), the most dynamic opening of a Heart song is inarguably ‘Crazy On You.’
- ‘Magic Man’ From: ‘Dreamboat Annie’ (1976) 'Magic Man’ has a little something for everyone. Creaky, understated guitars. Innocent-yet-worldly vocals. Deceptively simple lyrics about being charmed by an inappropriate (but alluring) “magic man,” to the great distress of a mother.
- ‘Dog & Butterfly’ From: ‘Dog & Butterfly’ (1978) Ann and Nancy Wilson always stress the importance of duality to Heart’s music. “I think we’re always rebellious,” Ann Wilson told UCR last year.

When Heartchanged record companies in the mid-1980s and signed with Capitol Records, their look and sound changed dramatically. One of the main reasons their sound was completely altered was that Capitol records utilized outside songwriters to supply the band with material to record. Many older Heart fans were turned off by the material, which was ...
Heart’s “Magic Man,” was the song that introduced the world to Heart. The song was released in 1976 as a single off their debut album Dreamboat Annie.As a sixteen-year-old at the time, I remember hearing the song on the radio standing out as something incredibly fresh and original. It was the sound of those opening guitar notes that made you drop a...
The fabulous Heart song “Crazy on You” was released on Heart’s debut album in 1976.

Ann’s k...
