Dreamboat Annie (1976)

My favorite Heart song! I love Nancy's guitar intro on this one, and Ann's vocals really drive this tune. Hot lyrics, too.

I'm having deja-vu.

But it's a good kind, so just hush and enjoy it!

If you'd rather, I could start another gossip, Debarge, Chris Brown, MJ thread...just let me know.

In the meantime, this is yet another reason for you to watch The Virgin Suicides. This song was used perfectly in that film!

I must see it now. But you have sparked a Heart moment for me, since I'm listening to Dreamboat Annie right now in fact.

A Debarge thread is a good idea though. I don't think anyone ever discusses those guys here.

The best female rock vocalist period.

Phenom stuff

I love how Nancy does that "kick" when they play this live....She's only got 20 more years left to do it b4 she has 2 retire lol

I think I would agree.

I actually prefer "Magic Man", but "Crazy On You" is right up there.

I want to see Heart live before they retire.

Perfectly acceptable opinion although it is, in fact, wrong.

Great song, great band, and awesome clip right there. I have always been in love with Ann's voice. Thanks for posting!

Dear Ann,

I love you Ann, baby ...I hope you have gotten word by now that we have all forgiven you for the Mike Reno thing...and more importantly I hope you have forgiven yourself...It really pains me to think of all the self abuse that you put yourself through during the 80s and 90s - all those years spent chasing family boxes of Twinkies with family buckets of KFC, and all you really wanted was to forget the chorus to "Almost Paradise"...I forgive you, Ann baby. You were SUCH a coldblooded, badass rock and roll singer back in the 70s...you REALLY WERE everything that screaching talentless hack Janis Joplin was hyped up to be (but never was) by dickless rock critics everywhere. You were IT, girl.

Love

One Heart Fan

I enjoy singing along to "Magic Man" more when no one is around.

Love the song and loved BEBE LE STRANGE album....Barracuda ROCKS and Magic Man ROARS also. REMEMBER????NEVER????? NEVER? NEVER RUN AWAY....

You may appreciate this - I think Ann looks a lot like Scarlett Johansson on the album cover.

I love that 70s hair.

You can almost smell the Prell, can't you?

My other fave from this set is Sing Child. Here's a live performance from 1976.

RipHer2Shreds said:

omg.

I would be all like "Hey fuck off about your girls at the office and whatever they use on their hair!" if my husband came home and said that to me. Straw?? The nerve.

The husband in the commercial needs to open his own salon.

So are you, Rip and I still going to see Heart the next time they play in Minneapolis?

sextonseven said:

Definitely didn't expect dude to have his hands lathering in the Prell over the sink

sextonseven said:

Yes! (to both of your comments)

I have to let you know soon exactly when I'm in Amsterdam next month. It's only for a few days since I'll be running around Europe for most of my trip.
