9. Ann Wilson

Throughout the month of February, 102.9 WMGK will count down the 20 greatest classic rock singers decided by our listener vote. 

We’ll dedicate daily blocks to one singer who's made the list every weekday throughout the month.

MGK will celebrate Ann Wilson on Thursday, Feb. 16.

Ann Wilson helped Heart make its way into the conversation with some of the top rock & roll bands of the 1970s. Her work singing lead vocals for "Crazy On You" on the album Dreamboat Annie in 1975 helped her build a reputation as one of the best female singers of all time. "Magic Man" and "Barracuda" also grew as two of Heart's biggest hits.

She was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013 as a member of Heart. Her sister Nancy Wilson also plays guitar in the band.

Ann's career has earned her the #9 spot on the list in 2023.

One word: Heartbreaker.

Facial hair or clean shaven, Robert Plant is still a babe.


Ann and Nancy Wilson

A killer sibling vocal/guitar duo that's ridiculously talented AND beautiful? Of course they made this gallery!

Most of us would let Rod Stewart upstairs and do more than just read our tarot cards. (Wink, wink.)

Like Sting, aren't we all Tantric or at least Tantric-curious?


Stevie Nicks Performs On Stage

Stevie Nicks could be an honorary member of every coven and likely already is. She's THAT magical!

Two words: Forever hot.


Mick Jagger

It must be nice being Mick Jagger knowing so many men and women want to be him AND be with him.


Debbie Harry

Even in a weird profile view like in the photo above, Debbie Harry is still one of the most stunning women ever.
