I'm partial to 70s era ZZ Top. Imma share some of the deeper cuts. It's a compulsion TBH

Before you ask, yes. Yes, I did.

I owned ALL of these on 8 track at one time or another.

First one is from the album Tejas.

Rio Grande Mud is badass all the way through. Really raw and guitar driven hard rock. The big hit was Just Got Paid.

This is Whiskey Mama

From Fandango, my favorite release. If I could only have one ZZ top record Fandango is the one

I feel that 1979's release Deguello was a sort of a transition from the 70s Texas style southern rock to the 80s MTV dominating ZZ Top Pop sound.

I didn't much care for it in high school, but I do now. Kinda

"Cheap Sunglasses" and "I'm Bad I'm Nationwide" were big hits, and ZZ Top kind of rode that sound to massive wealth in the decade that followed.

I'm not posting either one, obviously

The 1st ZZ Top album I ever heard (Thanks Uncle Bruce) was Tres Hombres.

This record contains 2 of ZZ Top's all time FM radio anthems "Beer Drinkers Hell Raisers" and La Grange. Nah not gonna post 'em. We all have those tunes memorised.

I always liked this one a lot

1. Thanks for reminding me what I want for Christmas.

My husband was asking and I couldn’t think of anything.

4. Tres Hombres Was My First ZZ Album

I bought it because of LaGrange but on first listen I was blown away by how cool the first 4 songs were.
Waitin' On The Bus,
Jesus Just Left Chicago,
Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers, &
Master of Sparks
Geez, I think LaGrange was the 8th song on the album.
Superb.

5. No weak links - even the change of pace songs were tightly played and clever

Such a great band

6. First time I saw these guys was at the State Fair Bandshell in Dallas.

They didn't even have beards. The security was so lax me and some buds just snuck in. This was maybe 1970.

We weren't there for ZZ, though. They were the opening act for the Flying Burrito Brothers.
