Holy shit....something I did not know. The gal in the pic above is Jeana Tomasino - who later married MLB pitcher Matt Keogh and became one of the original Real Housewives of Orange County.
She has quite the "portfolio". Bing image search with safe filters off. November 1980 Playboy Playmate.

I've found that ZZ Top's greatest hits are a multi-generational crowd pleaser. Many will love it, some will tolerate, none will hate.

I can't think of any other band - besides maybe Aerosmith - where I love the early to mid 70s body of work but hate their 80s phase. The Best of ZZ Top which covers everything from the 1st four albums is flawless. But mang do I loathe 80s ZZ Top.GrundleStiltzkin said:I've found that ZZ Top's greatest hits are a multi-generational crowd pleaser. Many will love it, some will tolerate, none will hate.
They were just way cooler wearing nudie suits and before the old testament beards...

If you were listening/watching ZZ Top in the MTV years for the tunes, you now how I know you're gay?

Don't get me wrong, IFL synthesizers, but not on ZZ top. -

Not really true. I like Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Who, the Beatles (some), Rolling Stones, some Dylan, Neil Young, David Bowie, the Eagles (some) and many others that fit into old white men music.YellowSnow said:

You guys sometimes grate on me because you are 40-60 white dudes who basically follow the 40-60 white guy code. Scotch, beer, guns, every popular 70’s rock band, war buffs, couldn’t name a rock band from 2010 on... The 40-60 year old white dude starter pack.
Still love you guys. BFF, ttyl 😘😘😘. -

Sorry dude I like what I like. Can I ask that you please refrain from insulting me for it, turn the other cheek, and allow me to talk shit about you for your taste?

Burned a few Amps and blew a few tweeters and woofers to ZZ back in the day, especially from Eliminator.

You’ll be there in the same position roadie not too far off with the generation behind you talking the same shit. Hopefully.RoadDawg55 said:

As my great uncle use to say, “where you are, I have been. Where I am, you SOON shall be.”

Gibbons might be the most under appreciated guitarist out there. People like to say Zeplin and Clapton were doing the blues back then but fuck those Limies. They were selling us back our own shit cut a few times, the Top was imo the first band to do real electrical blues. This shit rips...

Well let's see here... I don't drink scotch, I don't drink beer, I don't own a gun but am planning to go with Baze to the firing range sometime this spring or summer and buy one. I'm not that much into 1970s rock bands, I have read several books about World War II but wouldn't call myself a war buff, and yes I would struggle to name more than a couple rock bands from 2010-on. As I said once before, one of my guilty pleasures is that I really enjoy listening to Rozes. I'm shocked she's not more popular but it's probably because she's not super attractive. But I love her stuff.RoadDawg55 said:

I believe my cousin, who once upon a time was a finalist for the Raiderettes, dated Matt Keogh once upon a time. I will need to ask her to make sure.PurpleThrobber said:

I had to look up Rozes. I have heard her song “Roses” with the Chainsmokers a few times. I’m not a big EDM fan, but it’s a good pop song.DerekJohnson said:

My brother wasted his money on some "meet the band" tickets with ZZ Top. Long story short...those guys are tiny. Only Billy is not a midget.

Actors are tiny. I would always be shocked seeing them in person sometimes in LA. Most of them were really small.dflea said:
