Free Music Notes for Heart - Greatest Hits: 1985-1995Free Music Review: All the hits plus more.... Hit: 5 Stars
When I first got this cd a couple months ago I doubted that I would like it that much but now I love it. This collection of hits from 1985-1995 starts out with "What About Love" which made it to #10. It is a well written song about telling someone what you are really feeling about them. "If Looks Could Kill" lets Heart show that they can get up in your face as well as they can sing about love, which made it to #54. "Never" is another one of those up in your face songs from the band that hit #4. The #1 hit "These Dreams" is one of the mellow, laid back songs on this album and is very well written. "Nothin' At All" is one of the first songs of Hearts that I heard and it is also one of my favorites that made it to #10. Another #1 hit from the group "Alone" is another one of the stand out tracks on this compilation. "Who Will You Run To" (#7) shows off Ann Wilson's vocal abilities. "There's The Girl" (#10) is a good song with great vocals and says that not all girls are what they seem to be. "Surrender To Me" which was a track with Ann Wilson and Robin Zander made it to #6 is a corny song if you ask me. "All I Wanna Do...." (#2) caused a little controversy when it first it was also originally written for Don Henley. "I Didn't Want To Need You" (#23) is a good song about not needing someone after it was a little too late. "Tall,Dark,Handsome Stranger" is a good rock track that is meant to be loud when played if not it is boring. "Stranded" (#13) is a good song about a break up and how everything isn't like a fairy tale. "You're The Voice" was another song that stirred up some controversy love and not war theme and "Back To Avalon" is a acoustic and contrasts some of their other works. "Black on Black II" is an awesome song that reminds me of "Barracuda" with it's guitar riffs. "Will You Be There" lets both of the sisters share mic in this song which made it to #30. "The Road Home" is a live track on the album. If you like Heart and want the hits without buying a mess load of cds this is for you..
Free Music Review: The hits just keep on coming!! Hit: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic collection of memorable 80's and early 90's hits by the Wilson sisters, not to leave out Howard Leese, Mark Andes or Denny Carmassi. Those guys are great musicians in their own right. This CD contains some of my many favorite hits from the 80's. In fact, I'm listening to this great CD right now as I type this. Anyone who remembers the 80's will know these classics. Some of the tracks here are: "What About Love", "These Dreams", "Nothin' At All" and "Never" from the massively successful self-titled 1985 comeback album which sold over 5 million copies in the first year. As well as "Alone", "There's The Girl" and "Who Will You Run To" from the '87 album 'Bad Animals'. Listening to these great songs take me back to a time when listening to Top 40 radio was truly enjoyable. In my opinion these songs come from THE best era in pop music, a million light years ahead of today's Top 40. "All I Wanna Do" is another primo track in this collection from the 1990 album 'Brigade', which is a tragically overlooked album. More great stuff lies within this CD, more great songs from 'Brigade' and the '93 album 'Desire Walks On'. "Will You Be there In The Morning", "Tall Dark Handsome Stranger", "Black On Black II", and "Stranded". Great songs that stand the test of time is what you'll get when you make the smart decision to buy this greatest hits CD. "85-95" is well worth the money, if you love great music like I do. Also, all songs are 24-bit remastered so they sound even better than ever. For me, this CD is truly enjoyable to listen to time and time again. I think you get the idea. So if you don't have it, well, you know the drill. ROCK ON!!

Free Music Review: delicious pop metal Hit: 5 Stars
i was 14 when Heart released back in 1985 their self-titled album worldwide. All of a sudden i knew they were bringing out in me the rocker side as much as Madonna did with pop and Whitney Houston did with R'n'B. I loved everything about the Wilson sisters: their looks - says who metal bands are formed of bad big smelly guys only??? - and their attitude towards music. I remember MTV palying heavily NEVER and THESE DREAMS, pumping on NEVER and raising controversy with ALL I WANNA DO IS MAKE LOVE TO YOU. Well, this collection proves to be more than that, since not only all of the singles issued by EMI are included here, you do have also some nuggets such as SURRENDER TO ME (which hit the top 10 US back in 1989) from the TEQUILA SUNRISE soundtrack - a powerful duet by Ann and Cheap Trick's Robin Zander -, the album cut TALL, DARK, HANDSOME STRANGER (that i would have personally left out in favour of the commercially available singles I WANT YOU SO BAD and THE WOMAN IN ME), the hard-to-find radio version of YOU'RE THE VOICE (previously available only in a live version on the ROCK THE HOUSE LIVE! album) and to bring everything to full circle, an awesome acoustic version of THE ROAD HOME. Heart knows how to rock you off, Ann and Nancy are two modern mermaids that take you by the hand and bring you to their underwater world, where you can be gently lulled by the sweetest of ballads (STRANDED) or swept by the hardest-driven guitar riff (BLACK ON BLACK II)... I'm 30 now, halfa life more, but all those songs are still masterpieces to me. If you're a late Heart fan as i am you'll love this collection, if you've never heard about them - which i doubt, just go ask yr older brother or younger uncle - this is a good buy to get you started loving their stuff...it's a must buy!
Free Music Review: One of the best "Greatest Hits" albums of All-Time! Hit: 5 Stars
This is truly an excellent compliation of Heart's hit singles spanning the years 1985-1995. This album contains several songs that were left off Heart's similar hits album from this time period, "These Dreams--Heart's Greatest Hits". Most notably, "There's The Girl" (a #12 hit in 1987) and "I Didn't Want To Need You" ( a #23 hit in 1990) are welcome additions that weren't included on the aforementioned compilation. But what makes this album even better is the fact that it includes the Top 10 duet from 1989 between Heart's Ann Wilson and Cheap Trick's Robin Zander, "Surrender To Me". This song was originally featured in the soundtrack to the movie, "Tequila Sunrise" with Mel Gibson. The soundtrack album has long been out of print, and the song, as far as I know, has never been featured on any other album, not even a "Various Artists" type of compilation, so you will most likely have a hard time finding it anywhere else. All tracks have been 24-bit digitally remastered as well, which makes for an even better listening experience, on top of Ann Wilson's already incredible, soaring vocals. I highly recommend it for all fans of Heart, and all fans of music from the 80's and 90's.
