Heart is a rock band technically formed in [[Vancouver]], Canada but with all its members originating from [[Seattle]], Washington - one of their founding members was dodging the draft, everybody else followed, and later they moved back to Seattle once the whole thing blew over.

=== Tropes related to the band: ===
Line 15:
* [[Incest Subtext]]: In a rather bizarre invoking of this trope, Ann and Nancy Wilson were rumoured early in their career to have been lesbian lovers. The rumour was started by their first record label, Mushroom Records, through innuendo and juxtaposition including the use of a suggestive photo and caption for the artwork of their first album, ''Dreamboat Annie'', in an attempt to garner publicity and boost album sales. The Wilson sisters were unaware of the rumour campaign being fueled by their recording company. Once they discovered it, due to comments made by a reporter during an interview, they were very unhappy with their representation, and indirectly attacked those responsible in their next album.
** This story lingers. To the extent that a music writer for the London Guardian could sneeringly say, in the early 2000's, that Heart's music remains ''unaccountably popular among lesbians''. Another innuendo published in the same paper was that an unfailing sign of a woman being lesbian is that she owns all Heart's albums plus concert bootlegs.
* [[Intercourse
* [[Power Ballad]]: Many of their songs from the mid-to-late Eighties, the most famous one being "Alone".
* [[Stop and Go]]: "Magic Man".
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: Several of their songs seem to just be copied from [[
* [[Take That]]: Ann wrote "Barracuda" as an attack at their record label for starting the rumour that she and her sister were lovers.
* [[Those Two Guys|Those Two Ladies]]
