Do you agree?

Well, I’ve put a lot of thought into what I’m about to say and I appreciate some of you will disagree with me, or maybe even agree with me. Night and day I’ve been running through all the albums, listening to each of them, comparing etc, looking at their listings of songs trying to decide which, in my opinion, is the best album, the boys at their best, so far.
Maybe a particular track (or tracks) has a great groove, or the lead solo is fantastic, the lyrics entertaining (as is the case in many songs!) or the whole song just hits 'the spot'

Every album has a 'classic' or two, or three, or four etc etc on it, its been a very difficult decision.

Looking back, I think the reason for my choice of 'Best Album' is that it was the second ever album of theirs I bought, after buying 'Eliminator'.
I have a copy of this album on vinyl, 331/3 rpm, in a green, gate fold sleeve. I treasure this one very much, I've even stopped playing now (having this on CD!) to preserve it.
For me every single track on this Album is an absolute classic.

For me, the best ZZ Top album EVER (so far!) is;

TRES HOMBRES

Now I’ve revealed this to you, what is your favourite ZZ Top album (so far!)


My favourite track (so far!):

Cheap Sunglasses (lead guitar solo just melts me! its that sound that gives me goose bumps)

Yes, Deguello is my second favourite album.

Thanks for reading

    I am so tired of being ripped off by web sites that buy up all the tickets to an event and reselling them for so much more than the original price ........And the artist doesn't get the extra money

    Anyone want to hear some killer covers of some old ZZTOP tunes off of First album and Rio Grande Mud?? email me rmclain@insightbb.com
    This is music by my best friend who I believe is Billy's long lost brother.
