Along with Heart, Pat Benatar showed the largely male-dominated rock world that women could rock just as hard as men. Enjoying a string of hit albums, singles, and sold-out tours in the early '80s, Benatar's 1989 collection, BEST SHOTS, features nearly all of her songs that continue to pop up on classic rock radio to this day.
Included in her band was one of the 1980s' most underrated rock guitarists, her future husband Neil Geraldo, who proves to be the perfect musical foil to Pat's soaring voice. Featured are such big '80s rock radio hits as "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," "Fire and Ice," "Heartbreaker," and "Promises in the Dark."
