66 mustang Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 I kind of searched for a thread about these guys and couldn't find one so here goes. I'm not a huge ZZ Top fan, only have about 3 albums so I want to ask what is your fav? I really like AFTERBURNER a lot. I thought it was just a great album from start to finish. I know it was a bit of a change with a real 80's vibe but isn't that what made it so great? they took a page from the 38 Special playbook, keep your roots intact and add what is popular at the time to make a really good, solid album. Isn't much different than what bands like Whitesnake or Tesla do now a days. keep their core roots sound and add to it modern sound to make a really good album. So, sound of on the little band from Texas. some really great and classic songs this band has put out. What a full sound from a 3 piece!!!!!

All Nights Reserved Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 They were one of my favorite bands back then, though I'm talking about their albums from the 70's when they played cool, raw blues rock. My fave albums are 'Rio Grande Mud' and 'Tres Hombres'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockposer Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 My favorite albums by the boys are all pre- Eliminator. The only album I really can't get on with is XXX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faron Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 I need to listen to the pre Eliminator stuff as I only know a dozen or so songs. I have Eliminator through to Recycler, think they`re all great, wasn`t sure about the subsequent albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
