The blond waitresses take their trays

They spin around and they cross the floor;

They got the moves.

You drop your drink then they bring you more.

Robin Trower, Bridge of Sighs?

[Mike_G]

well, I will give it a shot, I know he was a big influence on lynyrd skynyrd and played guitar with them, but I am not sure if there was another band in-between the alarm clock and skynyrd.

I used to read the backs and the inner sleeves of albums like they were hot rod magazines.

Yes, he was in Lynyrd Skynyrd, and co-wrote Sweet Home Alabama.

[Mike_G]

How many acts have done different songs called "Heartbreaker"? I'll start with three:

Led Zep

Grand Funk

Pat Benatar

I'll bet there are at least a dozen more.

The Rolling Stones

Robin Trower, Bridge of Sighs?

YES SIR!! GREAT SONG TO BUILD BY!!

The Rolling Stones

how did we forget that one?

[Snake45]

Yes, he was in Lynyrd Skynyrd, and co-wrote Sweet Home Alabama.

He's also credited with being a co-writer of Kid Rock's All Summer Long. (As was everyone who had anything to do with Sweet Home Alabama and Werewolves of London--nine writing credits altogether. I guess those guys could take their annual royalty check on that one and buy a package of gum with it.)

On the Nirvana album "Sliver, the Best of the Box" there is a rough and raw recording of them doing Zep's "HeartBreaker".....

See if you can get this one "Im gonna open up myself a flee market"

[JollySipper]

That's a line from "Mrs. Butterworth"! Nirvana was my favorite band in highschool, and Kurt is still one of my heroes....

Sanford-Townsend Band - "Smoke from a Distant Fire".

Yes sir.

Took the 60 bus, out of downtown Campbell, Ben Zandito
He was on there he was waitin' for me
All the punk rockers and the moon stompers
Are out on the corners where they sparing for change

[Guest]

I can still recall

The wheat fields of St. Paul

And the morning we got caught

Robbing from an old hen

Old McDonald he made us work

But then he paid us for what it was worth

Another tank of gas

And back on the road again

[Scale-Master]

Me and You and a Dog Named Boo - Lobo

[Harry P.]

That rings a bell. I think it's a Chicago song but can't think of the title.

"Dialogue."

Extra credit: "Lobo's" real name?

I agree!

I've only seen Heart on TV and in videos, never live, but for some reason my eyeballs pretty much stay on Nancy.

I bought a Best of Heart 2-CD set and was AMAZED at the amount of good music they did. They were the absolute masters of the Power Ballad--nobody does them better and nobody has done more GREAT ones. That's right I said it: NOBODY.

And Nancy Wilson doesn't get the acknowledgement she deserves as a guitarist. I don't know if it's because "she's just a girl" or what...

Heart's "Alone" is one of my alltime favorite songs. It had just about receded into the bowels of obscurity when Carrie Underwood blew the roof off the dump with it in the fourth season of American Idol, prompting Simon Cowell to predict on the spot that not only would she win that year, but she would go on to sell more records than anyone else in Idol history. He was right on both counts and remains so to this day.

Since then, "Alone" has become a staple on the various singing contest shows, with someone performing it pretty much every year. I've heard it done many ways, including as Italian opera by a male contestant, and I can't say I've heard a really bad version yet, but none have come close to Carrie's--which was almost as good as the original, which is still and always will be the greatest.
