 |  | Honestly I Just Dont Like ZZ Top |  |
ZZ Top you hate em or you love em. I dont hate these guys but i just honestly dont like really any of the songs on this album except three, Sharp Dressed Man, LA Garange, and Tush. Every other song on here i really hate ecsepcially, "Planet Of Woman", or "Legs". ZZ Top all they do is sing about hot women and getting some. Thats there whole basis for there band thats it every song thats what they sing about. Arrggg whats next Journey, "Be Good To Yourself", come on people pick up Dark Side Of The Moon instead of this shameless music
October 11, 2008My family and I are going to see ZZ Top soon. I wanted my daughter to here their music as she is not familar with them, so this CD was perfect for her to listen to ( her dad and I too )Thanks fot the quick shipping!
September 29, 2008 | | (4.5 stars) GIMME ALL YOUR MTV GREATEST HITS ! (by no means a complete ZZ Top collection, but still an enjoyable one) | |
ZZ Top is the eclectic Texas blues/boogie and hard rock band that features the two front men (Billy Gibbons on guitar, Dusty Hill on bass) with trademark dark sunglasses and very long full beards. Drummer Frank Beard has no beard. All three are original members from the band's inception as a cosmic cowboy blues/hard rock trio in 1969. Billy Gibbons is widely respected as one of the best electric blues/rock guitarists in the business.
ZZ Top - Greatest Hits (1992) mostly covers the Texas trio's 1980s techno-boogie working-class chic MTV years, but that doesn't mean that this collection isn't worthy. On the contrary, this is great stuff that any true ZZ Top fan would like. Sure, they use drum machines and electronics on a lot of these songs, but Billy Gibbons' loud and bluesy guitar and humorously sly vocals are still front and center, and everything here is unmistakably ZZ Top.
The collection does briefly touch on the band's early years. La Grange, Tush, Cheap Sunglasses, and I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide are all from the band's Tex-Mex blues and boogie years in the seventies, but unfortunately the classic Waiting For The Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago wasn't included, and that is why I docked this collection 1/2 star. That's an unforgivable oversight, but it doesn't suck all the joy from this set. There is still a lot of good ZZ Top music here. Gimme All Your Lovin', Sharp Dressed Man, Legs, My Head's In Mississippi, Rough Boy, Tube Snake Boogie and much more. They even threw in a couple of new songs, Gun Love and their version of Elvis' Viva Las Vegas.
ZZ Top - Greatest Hits includes eighteen songs, and if you're in the mood for hearing ZZ Top music from their highly successful MTV years, this covers the era as well as it really needs to. I'm a fan of the band's early years (Tres Hombres is my favorite ZZ Top album), but I like this era as well. So while I mostly listen to the early stuff, every now and then I'll break out ZZ Top - Greatest Hits and recall all of those cool ZZ Top videos that were on MTV in those days and rock out Tejas style.
September 25, 2008There is no one else like them. An absolute must have for fans of the unique style of none other than ZZ Top!
