A Scottish band from the 1970s best known for the enduring single "Knockin' On Heaven's Door."
For their sound, start with "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" for the ballad, then try "Boys Night Out" for something with more drive.
Most people know the song "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" from other artists, but Heaven recorded it first in 1974. That ballad became their signature, but their catalog runs deeper with tracks like "Boys Night Out" and "Hard Life" showing their rock side. They weren't just a studio act either, they played the Isle of Wight Festival and opened for Led Zeppelin on tour.
Heaven formed in 1970 and put out early albums like "Penthouse and Pavement." Their 1974 single "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" from the 1975 album "The Time is Now" became their calling card. They kept recording through the 70s and reunited occasionally in the 80s.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
