Awesome song. It was out when I starting working at the record store where I worked in college. She was quite the genre-spanner - kinda R&B, kinda rock, kinda cool. As a bonus, '60s songwriter extraordinaire Ellie Greenwich sang background vocals on it. :)<br><br>I also remember HATING the Headpins song because it was screamed. Ugh. :)<br><br>I saw Heart in concert twice in the last two years and Ann and Nancy still rock. Ann's vocals are as powerful as ever. I don't know if I have a preference for pre-85 or post-85 music - they're just different. And I always think, while the post post-85 music was definitely more commercial and more slick, if they hadn't made that change, we might not still be talking about Heart today.

With a different singer I really think I'd like the song - it is kind of catchy. I just can't get past the screaming. See, that's the thing about “Just One More Time”.
