Stages is one of the best driving songs ever. They're always a fun concert.
Frank Beard could have "diversified" his beats on Eliminator a bit more. |

I wonder why in the hell they have never come out with a decent live album...?!!
(especially when you look at what a major draw they were in the 1970's---80's...) |

I prefer the 70s. Fandango, baby!!! Their music lost something when they put in that techno beat stuff. It wasn't bad, but their music was better when it was drums/guitar/bass. |

On the Johnny Carson show.
uk.youtube.com/watch?v=b6w0ammPbqo&feature=related Check out Carson at the end of the show. I thought the music lost a bit when they came out with the video's and the cars. Too bad they had to gimmick it up to get it played anywhere. |

No good music in the 80's, bullshit.
It was the decade of sonic exceptionalism, we will never again have a decade that sounds like it. There were so many different styles doing so many different things. |

ZZ's best stuff was from the `70's to very early `80's. Deguello was their last great album before they went "disco" and started putting out dance music instead of their signature Texas Blues. They did make a ton of money on that decision though, which I don't begrudge them. I could use a few extra million $ myself.
That said, their live concerts, even after the "disco" transition, are incredible! One of the best live bands ever. ETA: And there was plenty of good music in the `80's. I just think ZZ's best stuff was from the `70's.

projectplaylist.com's search function only pulls up so much... a lot of ZZ Tops other music isnt available thru them I guess.
If Tube Steak Boogie had been found I would have it on my list. I never said there was no good music in the 80's. I grew up and during the 80's, graduated HS in '85

My 17 y/o daughter loves SRV. A couple weeks ago I walked by her room and she was singing along with Texas Flood. Most of her friends haven't heard of him and she thinks that's sad. |

+1 zztop died when they started the techno crap. it was no longer rock and roll, but just more buble gum garbage. they were always not much more than a mediocre band at best. good in person but music just wasn't much to write home about with the exception of 2-3 songs. |
