Sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson are the founding members of Heart, a hard rock group that initially found success in the mid-'70's with hits like "Crazy on You," "Magic Man," "Barracuda," "Straight On" and many more. Heart continued topping the charts through the '80's and '90's with hits like "These Dreams," "Alone," "What About Love," "If Looks Could Kill" and "Never."

Joan Jett, leader of the hard-rocking Blackhearts, with whom she has become a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, has had eight platinum and gold albums and nine Top 40 singles, including the classics "Bad Reputation," "I Love Rock 'N' Roll," "I Hate Myself For Loving You" and "Crimson and Clover."

With over 5,000 performances spanning four decades and 20 million records sold worldwide, Cheap Trick is undoubtedly one of the most influential classic rock groups of the past 50 years. Hits such as "I Want You To Want Me," "Dream Police," and "Surrender" have cemented the group as one of America's top rock 'n' roll bands of all time.
