ZZ TOP - Eliminator (1983)


It was the year 1983 A.D. when this masterpiece saw the light of day, and today, after 24 whole years, it sounds like it was released yesterday. ZZ Top is a trio band, hailing from Texas, something that you can always listen to their music. What started as a blues band, turned into a Hard Rock outfit, but still incorporating enough of those Texas blues into their music. Unique in style, unique in visual appearance, there's no way their music could be ordinary. Pure Hard Rock, with one of the catchiest grooves, with tons of blues in it, music to drive and sing along, to drink and move your head to the rhythm. Songs talking about fast cars, hot and faster women, all covered up by the excellent ability of the band to create songs that stand the test of time. It's rather hard to pick songs from this one, since each one has it's own little thing that makes it unique, but who hasn't move with the rhythm of Sharp Dressed Man or Give Me All Your Lovin?
