POV edits

I changed "most successful" to "one of the most successful" because the point is debatable. Fleetwood Mac, for example, is another female fronted rock band that sold 18 million copies of one album (Rumors). Ok, so Fleetwood Mac is not really hard rock, but then neither is Heart. --LeeHunter 02:05, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

You should hear Fleetwood Mac before they got Stevie Nicks. They're much heavier. Also, some of Heart's songs are heavier but Fleetwood Mac with Stevie Nicks is never heavy... Redwolf24 06:04, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Early Band Members

I'm looking to find Jim Hill and his involvement with the band in the early stages. Anyone with information please post it.

Albums

I finally decided to make pages for all the albums. Enjoy! Weatherman90 17:54, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Couple questions about the main page

1) Why is there a link to Bands from Canada? Wilson's are from California and Heart is known for the whole Seattle connection.

Not to dig up dirt...

2) I found it odd there is no mention of Nancy's relationship with the guitarist.

3) On a similair line, didn't the label go to quite a bit of work to hide Ann's weight gain in the 80s? Sabalon (talk • contribs) 20:21 11 September 2006 (UTC).

As for 1), Heart was based in Canada (Vancouver) for several years, due to the military draft [1] and had their initial success through a Canadian label (Mushroom) - therefore they are considered partially a Canadian band; the statements in 2) and 3) require sources (see WP:V).

I SAW ON A YOUTUBE VID ONE OF THEIR CONCERTS ANN WILSON SAYS THAT 'THER'RE FROM CANADA'

Low Profile addition

I was not sure exactly how to state the change that I made but here I go. I added that the song Crazy On You is in Guitar Hero 2. I linked the word Guitar Hero 2 to that games article as a way of confirming that this is true. If any further confirmation is needed it should be found on the Guitar Hero 2 Article. Thank You for your time.Bengaska 01:51, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Bad timing

Ann & Nancy joined 1974, the band moved to Canada. What year? (And in 1974, how much risk was there of getting sent to Vietnam? Really?) Trekphiler 03:08, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

• It wasn't about being sent to Vietnam -- it's that Roger and Mike Fisher had already dodged the draft and were on the run from U.S. authorities. Canada was a safe haven for draft dodgers prior to Jimmy Carter giving them amnesty in January 1977.

WTF????

"In addition to being a savvy business man, Kimball is also rumored to be known as the "best looking VC guy on Union Street". This has yet to be confirmed and is contradictory to unnamed sources familiar with Kimball." can someone please explain to me how this has any revelation to Heart? if not then someone should just put the information on his page and create a link ( i dont know how myself) Curefreak (talk • contribs) 20:33, 17 March 2007 (UTC).

Controversy section

I added a "controversy" section discussing their infamous lesbian lovers-rumor as well as an early rumor of the sisters being occult followers. User:67.182.31.229 (Talk) 02:21, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

I took a stab at tightening up the section, and removed the tags. RomaC 10:25, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Genre(s)?

I see that
Genre = [ [ Hard rock ] ], [ [ Rock (music) | Rock ] ], [ [ Pop rock ] ], [ [ Arena rock ] ]
has been changed to
Genre = [ [ Hard rock ] ] < br > [ [ Rock music | Rock ] ]
without any explanation.

Can anyone provide a definitive reference, (or failing that, a plausable explanation), of which genre(s) is/are appropriate?

Thanks in advance, Pdfpdf 05:22, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

pop rock should be(and will be)rplaced with heavy metal 67.225.25.37 (talk) 05:38, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Highly amusing (for about 20 seconds). Reverted. Pdfpdf (talk) 07:36, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Years active?

Can anyone point me at a definition for "Years active"?

Depending on the definition, I could argue that Heart became active in 1974, 1975 or 1976:

• 1974 - "White Heart" changed its name to "Heart"
• 1975 - "Heart" signed with "Mushroom Records"
• 1975 or 1976 - "Dreamboat Annie" recorded. (I haven't been able to determine exactly when.)
• 1975 or 1976 - "Dreamboat Annie" released in Canada. (I haven't been able to determine exactly when.)
• 1976 - "Dreamboat Annie" released in the U.S.

Flags

I hope nobody minds my removal of the little nest of flags this article had in the infobox. WP:FLAG is a fairly well-developed essay which explains why using flags like this is a bad idea. --John 22:26, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Question - "the greatest band of all time"

ok since you didnt ask a question about the main page, I guess it would be ok if i just ask a simple question, or actually ask for some advice. I'm writing this thesis statement paper on why Heart is the greatest band of all time. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on just how i can convert the reader to thinking that Heart is the greatest band of all time. 169.204.182.215 (talk) 18:52, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

You can't - you'll never be able to convince anyone that Heart are greater than The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, U2 or any of a dozen other "great bands". Although in my biassed opinion they are a great band, you could never class them as "the greatest band of all time". Pdfpdf 01:29, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

In my opinion, Heart trumps U2, The Beatles, and (on most occasions) The Stones. Anyway, To help (unless it's too late), just use subtle bias. Not too upfront on the subject, but just enough to convey your point without saying you are crazy and obssessive.-TheChrisParker (talk) 21:04, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

You can listen to Bebe Le Strange and still think they're the greatest band of all time.? Don't even get me started on Desire Walks On or Jupiter's Darling... Hondo77 17:56, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Heartalbum.PNG

Image:Heartalbum.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use.

FYI - album covers are only fair-use in the articles specific to the source of the album cover itself. In other words... the Dreamboat Annie album cover can only be used in the Dreamboat Annie article and no where else. See WP:FAIR for more details. 156.34.217.48 02:15, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
