Although Heart had been the subject of several best-of collections over the years, such as 1980's GREATEST HITS LIVE and Capitol's 1997 GREATEST HITS, the first to include all the original versions of their hits from the late-'70s/early-'80s was Epic/Legacy's 1998 GREATEST HITS. GREATEST HITS 17 tracks contain countless classic rock radio staples--"Magic Man," "Crazy on You," "Dreamboat Annie," "Barracuda," "Little Queen," "Even It Up," "Bebe Le Strange," etc., as well as many overlooked album cuts ("Love Alive," "Dog & Butterfly"), plus a new song only available on this collection, "Strong, Strong Wind."
Led by sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, Heart struck a crucial blow for feminisim in the male-dominated world of '70s rock. They could switch from powerful, Zeppelin-like grandeur to gorgeous acoustic ballads in the blink of an eye and turned out a stream of radio staples. By the '80s, they were churning out slick pop, but the sisters re-emerged in the '90s in stripped-down acoustic duo format as the Lovemongers.
