Ann Wilson is the best rock n roll female singer ever. End of discussion.
I never heard this album all the way through until high school. I was familiar with "Magic Man" and "Crazy On You" from radio play and I heard one of the 3 versions of "Dreamboat Annie" more than once.
As a concept album, it was a cool first release from a band. I still don't get the 3 versions of "Dreamboat Annie" and how they all made it on the record. The other songs make up for the repetitiveness of the "...Annie" melody.
I will always have a crush on Ann Wilson. I don't care if she's way larger now than she was back in the 70s. She was hot and had a killer voice.
The first sentence of your posting says it all. I completely agree. Crazy on you is one my all time favorite songs.
