    Nancy Wilson, Crazy on you's intro seems very complicated and hard to play.

    Wow, no Kath love, he was the white hendrix. Hendrix even said he was better.

    Different styles, but I've always been more of a Heart fan than a Chicago fan, so my vote has to go to Ms. Wilson.

    And why did people use to refer to Heart as "a female Led Zeppelin"? I've never understood that...

    Chicago get a bad rap because of all the schmaltzy stuff they recorded later on, but Kath was amazing-- There's a track called "Poem 63" (or something like that) on the first Chicago album, where the first few minutes are basically a guitar solo, and he just shreds on that. The Carnegie Hall album has some pretty epic solos too.

    Nancy Wilson could certainly play, but she usually had another guitar player in Heart to do the flashy stuff.

    I'm very unhappy about this.

    I love Heart and I love Chicago, but Terry Kath was one of a kind. He was one of the best, and it's a shame that he isn't here today.
