There's No Other Like ZZ Top

Posted: Jan 05, 2009

Sometimes I find myself taking ZZ Top for granted, and that just ain't right. I need to say more good things about that "Little Ol' Band from Texas" that has been a part of my musical landscape since the early seventies. I guess it's just that their music has become so much a part of my life that I never stop to think about just how important they really are.

I saw them live in Clemson around 1975 and it was downright rockin.' The stage show, the attitude, Southern Rock and blues blended together with a little tongue in cheek humor and some absolutely smoking musicianship. I saw the band live two other times during the '80's and '90's and both shows were equally spellbinding.

Today, I start off the new year right by saluting ZZ Top with a list of their 20 Best Songs ever. Please log in and let me know of you agree or disgree. You know you love 'em, everybody does.

Visit our Legends of Southern Rock page and check out all the links for classic GRITZ interviews, reviews and more. And keep on checking out our ever expanding archive of Southern Rock Lists.

Just let me know if you wanna go to that home out on the range.

Keep it Real. Keep it Southern.
