Does ZZTop get overlooked?!


Question: Do you think that ZZTop gets overlooked during discussions of great classic rock bands? I was watching them perform at nascar race yesterday and it hit me. Thes guys have been performing for over 30 years! You never see them in the "scandal rags". You never hear of them overdosing or fighting or any of the crap you hear about a lot of artist, old and new. As far as I know, the never broke up. They have the same 3 members they have always had......yet, a lot of times they seem to get left out of the great classic rock band discussions....I wonder why that is?

The guy that answered above about no album---how about 'Eliminator' ??? Excellent album!
Also, how many trios in rock do you know that have such a 'big sound'? ZZ Top are 3 outstanding musicians and sometimes do get overlooked when discussions about great classic rock bands come up. I've seen them 4 times.
The best was in 1986 in Atlanta, when they opened, a large Sphnix was on stage covered up. When they started playing the 'shifting sands' song the Sphinx sucked the cover up his nostrils! Also, they had neon images playing on the ceiling and walls. Anyone else see this show?

Not often enough...I hate ZZTop. They weren't that great.

Black Sabbath all the way

They are definitely overlooked for classic rock.

they are good, but overall, what classic album did they make that forced people to recognize them? i cant think of one, although they are an enjoyable band with moderate success and moderate attention.

They're good, but all of their songs sound pretty much the same. I'd like to see them change it up every now and then and try playing some different-paced stuff.

ZZTop has had quite a few good songs but that's it. I mean I like them but in my opinion they haven't done anything earth shattering. When they first came out they had a lot more competition than they do now so if anything, I could understand them getting more recognition today rather than yesterday. They are what they are.

i think they get overlooked to a certain degree, but also as has been mentioned their songs are all quite a bit alike, with the major exception of la grange, and they aren't the strongest band lyrically, especially in comparison to some of the bands they competed with in their era of popularity

Yes! How can a great song like TV Dinners get overlooked? They don't get into trouble, they haven't had big feuds that lead to band breakups, they haven't even changed a member...plus anyone with a fuzzy guitar deserves some credit.

in the mid 80's, they were on top of the world! Dont feel bad for them- I'm a fan too. Everyone still knows Sharp Dressed Man & sings along. They've had an extremely long run (since the mid-60's) & are still performing today.

ZZtop, Black Sabbith, Mettalica, are good.

Maybe it is the lack of drama and scandals and feuds wihtin the band that cause them to be overlooked.

they are defenitly over looked .alot of rock today would not be the same without them. the only time they've been honored well was in the mtv rock honors with ozzy.
