American rock band Heart formed in 1973 and launched to stardom in the mid-1970s. The band subsequently enjoyed even more popularity in the late 1980s, due to a musical departure from their previously favored folk rock towards album-oriented rock. Heart has sold over 35 million records worldwide to date, including over 22.5 million in album sales in the U.S. The group was also ranked number 57 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" and they have had top 10 albums on the Billboard Album Chart in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2010s, making them one of the most longstanding and successful hard rock bands in history.
Joan Jett (born Joan Marie Larkin) is best known for her work with Joan Jett and The Blackhearts. Her musical career started when she was a founding member of the Runaways, and she later took over as frontwoman for their latter two LPs Waitin' for the Night and And Now… The Runaways, after former lead singer Cherrie Currie left the band. When the band went their separate ways in 1979, Jett's new project was Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, whose record "I Love Rock 'n' Roll", which is Billboard’s No. 56 song of all time. Jett has released two solo studio albums and ten studio albums with the Blackhearts.
Cheap Trickformed in Rockford, Illinois in 1974, recorded their first official demo in 1975, and in 1976 were signed to Epic Records. Their self-titled debut LP was released one year later and although it was not a commercial success, received a positive reception from critics. Cheap Trick amassed a huge following in Japan, with all three of their first albums going gold there, and when they arrived to tour the country for the first time in 1978, they were greeted with a hysteria similar to Beatlemania. Their live album recorded on the tour, Cheap Trick at Budokan, catapulted the band into international stardom, and the album went triple platinum in the United States. The band has been ranked No.25 in VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.
