The time has come to take a song - just one song - from That Little Ol' Band from Texas to the desert island.

It'll be tough entertaining myself with pretend runway shows on this desert island without "Sharp Dressed Man."

I agree with LWFS in that "LaGrange" is probably the proper essence of ZZ Top but they obviously hit on something magic with that 'Eliminator' string of hits, as artificial as they were.

God damn. I already voted and this is still hard.

A psychedelic band featuring the young Billy Gibbons, The Moving Sidewalks, opened for the Jimi Hendrix experience.

Gotta go with Legs on this, 1986 I was 10 and this was the song that introduced ZZ Top to me, at the time MT-USA was an Irish music show outta of NY and Legs would have been a staple on there, this was before MTV hit Irish screens.

Saw where these guys are recording a "comeback" album with Rick Rubin set to come out next year.

Almost voted for "Tube Snake Boogie," but went with "Gimme All Your Lovin'." The AC/DC of Southern Rock.

What the world needs now is the Eliminator Girls to make an appearance to rescue the abused and down-trodden blue-collar workers.

I'm partial to the stuff that isn't still beaten to death on FM classic rock nowadays. With the notable exception of "Cheap Sunglasses," the one song from that list that has aged the best.

This is a great song and I've downloaded it. It's kind of like the Spaghetti Western of music.

I think of the Asian hot-rodders in Better Off Dead who learned everything they know about English by watching Wide World of Sports. I picture them coming across a copy of eliminator and wondering what to do with it.
