Hammer won't let me go!

No rap or country here. Get me? Make your own thread. Now you know why Hammer keeps me here. I draw a crowd, always
 
OP is a skeezy old tart. Smells like cortisone and yeast cream.

If memory serves, they first got noticed because they played Zeppelin covers and did them really well.

Since their big hit came out in 1975, I don't think so.

Yeah, I could be mistaken, I know they were influenced by Zeppelin (among others) and have done Zeppelin covers in their concerts forever. Led Zeppelin hit in1969 (Heart formed as The Army about 1968) Ann and Nancy Wilson joined in the early '70's, so they may well have been playing Zeppelin covers as part of their shows before they hit in 1975. But they hit within a couple of years after the Wilsons joined them, which was pretty fast, even back then.

Led Zeppelin came out with their album of the same name in 1969 and it was a top 10 album that year.

They released their second album, Led Zeppelin II that same year and it went on to become a number 1 best seller.

Zeppelin released several more albums between 1970 and 1975...

Led Zeppelin III which featured "Immigrant Song".

Their untitled fourth album, commonly known as Led Zeppelin IV (1971), is one of the best-selling albums in history with 37 million copies sold. The album includes "Black Dog", "Rock and Roll" and "Stairway to Heaven", with the latter being among the most popular and influential works in rock history.

Houses of the Holy (1973) yielded "The Ocean", "Over the Hills and Far Away" and "The Rain Song".

Physical Graffiti (1975), a double album, featured "Trampled Under Foot" and "Kashmir".


So all of this music in all of these albums were released by Led Zeppelin before Nancy and Ann joined Heart...or what was at the time a band called The Army.

Two years later, The Army changed their name to Hocus Pocus, then they changed their name again to White Heart a year later, but eventually changed the name a final time to Heart in 1973.

By the mid-1970s, original members Roger Fisher and Steve Fossen had been joined by sisters Ann Wilson and Nancy Wilson, Michael Derosier, and Howard Leese to form the lineup for the band's initial mid- to late-1970s success period.

So they had to play "SOMETHING" before they became "Heart" with Ann and Nancy.....


Led Zeppellin was the hottest band at the time.


So why does @Fog find it so difficult to believe they were covering Zeppelin back then?

I'm not @Fog

I never said they didn't cover Led Zeppelin

My point is it wasn't what made them famous or made people look at them.

Yeah, even bands that write their own material, do covers. Especially when they first start out and don't have enough of a catalogue of their own music for a full show.

There's a difference between getting noticed and becoming a group that "hits".

Dreamboat Annie is what made them famous, it's not necessarily how the were "discovered" by music industry execs. Typically, bands start getting noticed for playing covers well, and if they have some original music that is pretty good, music companies sign and promote them.

Even the Beatles started by playing covers.
