Dec 19, 2022: Elsewhere: ​HEART: DREAMBOAT ANNIE, CONSIDERED (1975): Figuring their way through pop-folk and prog to rock
​In 1997 when Rolling Stone had a substantial Women of Rock issue, they paid scant attention to Heart, just half a dozen sentences.
Admittedly their best days seemed to be behind them, but with six multi-platinum albums to that point they certainly deserved more space than Yoko Ono whose contribution to “rock” was marginal. Yet she scored twice as much space as the Wilson sisters Ann and Nancy who were the core of Heart as songwriters, singers: Ann the lead singer and Nancy an impressive guitarist.
Dec 11, 2012: The new class of inductees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has been announced, and it includes rockers, the Queen of Disco, a group of hip hop pioneers and a band whose fans have long been clamoring for the honor. In the performer category, Heart, Albert King, Randy Newman, Public Enemy, Rush and Donna Summer will receive the prestigious induction. Lou Adler and Quincy Jones will receive the Ahmet Ertegun Award, which is given to non-performers. Ann Wilson from Heart attended the announcement with her sister and bandmate Nancy, and said their inclusion as inductees left her feeling "somewhat surreal at the moment, I'm still trying to soak up the reality of it." This kind of acknowledgment "is so satisfying," she went on, because it means "that we are not the tree falling in the woods ... [W]e're out there working and doing shows, traveling [and] writing, for years and years and this means that we've been noticed." (SOURCE: CNN)
