In 1977, Seattle's own Heart released "Little Queen", the band's third studio album. This song exploded on the scene as the albums break out hit and became one of their signature tracks, an instant classic and a staple on classic rock radio to this day.

In 2019, the European band No Apology recorded a cover of it and filmed a video - and it may be the best rendition out there. The blisteringly hot singer Zaritskaya channels her inner Nancy, but makes it all her own, while the rhythm section and lead guitarist crush this. This is an absolute banger. Also note, the singer's first language is not English.

Heart, Barracuda.

When there was a Led Zeppelin tribute in the UK, Robert Plant said that Heart did Led Zeppelin better than they did Led Zeppelin. Heart used to play frequently at a tavern in North Seattle on Aurora Avenue. Every time they were in town, I'd try to go see them. One of the best bands I every heard and at very good prices!

From the classic "Let There be Rock" album comes this absolute classic banger, AC/DC's WHOLE LOTTA FUCKING ROSIE. This one is an absolute banger.

Ah, man, thanks for jumpstarting this thread. PLease please please INTRODUCE your video! I love Priest, but it aleaysbegins and ends with Unleashed in the East for me - Green Manilishi, DIamonds and Rust and, of course, the ultimate, Victim of Changes. OMG those are fucking bangers.

Now, let's go back to July 4, 2004 - Buffalo New York. Goo Goo Dolls - Iris.
Have you ever seen this? One of the best live performances I have ever seen.

This is epic.

I saw them at the Galaxy Theater in Santa Ana right as they were breaking through to the big-time but they'd already committed to the tour so I got a table right up front pretty cheap. Good times.
