History Music / HeartBand

* AshcanCopy: Due to a contract dispute, the band's original label, Mushroom Records, released''Magazine'' without their involvement in 1977. The band obtained an injunction and were able to re-record and remix it after the court found that they owed Mushroom a second album in 1978.

* CanadaEh: the time spent in exile in Vancouver rubbed off on the music. Many people mistakenly believe the girls and by extention the band ''are'' Canadian by birth and upbringing. Because they were based in Canada at the time and the band had some Canadian members, the first album benefited from Canadian content requirements for Canadian radio stations.

* ExecutiveMeddling: After they signed on with Capitol Records. Their last two records (''Private Audition'' and ''Passionworks'') had sold poorly, so Capitol revamped them to give them a "glam-metal" look and "arena-rock" sound, downplaying the folk and acoustic elements of some of their earlier music, as well as using outside writers to write songs for them. The moves worked, and the band scored a major comeback in 1985, as their self-titled record had five hit singles (four made the top 10) and sold very well.

* StepUpToTheMicrophone: Nancy sings lead on some songs, notably "These Dreams".

* [[UnPerson UnPersons]] Mike and Roger Fisher, after a very bitter and public fall-out with the Wilson sisters. Ann and Nancy at first did not want them anywhere near the band's induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, but grudgingly relented when told the award wasn't just to the Wilsons, it was to the whole of the band's classic line-up. Mike and Roger were allowed to play one song with the group to honour this[[note]]''Crazy On You''[[/note]], but were bundled quickly off stage after the contract was honoured, and replaced with anonymous sessions musicians, just to rub it in.

* OneNightStandPregnancy: "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You" is sung from the viewpoint of a woman who [[spoiler:invoked this trope, because her infertile husband couldn't give her the baby she wanted.]]

* ShouldersupNudity: The front cover of ''Dreamboat Annie'' and associated publicity shots.

* MohsScaleOfRockandMetalHardness: Usually operating anywhere from level 1 to 5, with the occasionally foray into 6.

* FatAndSkinny: Just like Cass Elliot and Michelle Phillips from The Mamas & The Papas, Ann and Nancy Wilson provide one of the few female examples of this trope, with Ann being the fat to Nancy's skinny.

* OlderAndWiser: The Wilson sisters are largely responsible for cultivating the Seattle grunge scene by opening their studios to a few then-unknown bands: Music/PearlJam, {{Music/Soundgarden}}, and {{Music/Nirvana}}. Ann would go on to lend her voice to their contemporary {{Music/AliceInChains}} on their "Sap" EP.

* DraftDodging: The original founders of this group were Mike and Roger Fisher who ran to Canada to evade the Vietnam War draft. Ann and Nancy were dating them at that time and followed them to Canada.

* FairUse: Averted. Political Opponent Sarah Palin used Ann and Nancy's song "Barracuda" during her political campaign (largely due to her nickname being "Sarah Barracuda.") They were ''not'' pleased. Also averted because she obtained the rights to use it legally.

* DeathGlare: In "If Looks Could Kill".z
