Still love that ZZ Top looked like a fucking grindcore band in 1970 pic.twitter.com/b7DpP6rmu2— Legendarium (@LegendariumBand) August 26, 2022

I can't think of another band that started out so strong--their run from ZZ Top's First Album through Deguello is just killer--and jumped the shark so hard. Good for them for figuring out the cash-making formula, I suppose.

Yeah, couldn’t disagree more. The Top were open to the sounds of Devo and The B-52s on El Loco, and the way they combined that with Texas blues was a master stroke imo. I think the conception and production of Eliminator is a sonic blast akin to the debut Boston album. It just sounds fucking huge, and deserves all the sales and success it got. xp

Eh. I hated that sound back in the day, and I still hate it. They really became a parody of themselves.

El Loco is such a weird album, kind of mellow, but I love it now.

^^^ and totally sets the stage for Eliminator. I didn't really care about ZZ Top in the 70s, but as a new wave loving young adult working in a record store in 1980 it was an eye-opener.

his guitar has such a nasal, brassy quality that when he plays more softly it almost sounds like a muted horn

Guitar moves is awesome. High recommend the Deaner, Cass Mccombs and J Mascis episodes too.
