Rock Blog - Straight On (Heart)

Artist: Heart
Song:  Straight On

Video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcEFPgNftPc 

Quick Thoughts: Started by the Wilson sisters (Ann and Nancy), Heart has spanned over four decades, giving them the longest span of Top 10 albums by a female fronted band.  Heart has had a large number of band members during their run, and have also come in and out of success with their records.  They were announced as inductees to the 2013 Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame last year.  "Straight On" is from their 1978 album Dog & Butterfly. In the U.S., it became Heart's third single to enter the Top 20.

Ranking from Original "Top 1000" List:  921
Added to my Personal List?  YES
Total Songs Added to Final List: 41

Having grown up listening to mostly hip-hop, R&B, some alternative, and all sorts of music in Spanish, I decided it was time to give myself a personal survey of Rock music.  My friend BJ Swanner compiled a "Top 1000 Rock Song List", aggregated from several "Top Lists".  As I go through all 1,000 songs, I'll be creating my own list, sharing a brief post like this for all the songs that will make my final list.   I will not be ranking the songs that make it to my final list.....for now.
