ZZ Top Albums in Order:<\/strong> Having sold more than 50 million records worldwide, ZZ Top<\/strong> is one of the world\u2019s best-selling bands, released 15 studio albums, four live albums, seven compilation albums and 44 singles. ZZ Top developed a signature sound based on Gibbons’ blues guitar style and Hill and Beard’s rhythm section. <\/span><\/p>\n

They are popular for their live performances, sly and humorous lyrics, and the similar appearances of Gibbons and Hill, who were rarely seen without their long beards, sunglasses, and hats. The only member of ZZ Top<\/strong> without a beard is drummer Frank Beard, but that\u2019s just the second-strangest thing about this Texan trio. The strangest thing about ZZ Top is that they can lay claim to being both the dirtiest no-nonsense blues-rock band of the \u201870s and the glitziest camera-ready electro-boogie group of the \u201880s. <\/span><\/p>\n

Upon forming in Houston in 1969, ZZ Top were among a wave of Southern rock bands outfitting bluesy, British Invasion-schooled riffs with countrified fingerpicking and desert-baked grooves. But thanks to guitarist Billy Gibbons\u2019 pedigree in \u201860s garage outfit The Moving Sidewalks, horndog rave-ups like \u201cTush\u201d and \u201cLa Grange\u201d eschewed epic, Skynyrd-sized jams for a raw, raunchy energy tailor-made for a target demographic of (as another one of their early standards put it) beer drinkers and hell raisers. <\/span><\/p>\n

Though ZZ Top often played the part of Southern showmen with their cowboy hats and Nudie suits, by the early \u201880s, Gibbons and bassist Dusty Hill had grown out their beards past their chests, lending this workmanlike band a quirky visual trademark just in time for the music-video era. And it wasn\u2019t just their appearance that had changed: With 1983\u2019s blockbuster Eliminator, ZZ Top crosswired their gritty grooves with New Wave synths and sequencers to the tune of over 10 million copies sold, while a series of videos featuring hot models cruising around in the album cover\u2019s customized vintage Ford Coupe made the band icons of the then-nascent MTV. <\/span><\/p>\n

Since then, ZZ Top have kept on rollin\u2019 past the half-century mark, and they remain the rare classic-rock institution that always keeps its ear to the ground for fresh inspiration. Where most veteran artists turn to Rick Rubin for a back-to-basics reboot, ZZ Top\u2019s 2012 dalliance with the famed producer yielded \u201cI Gotsta Get Paid\u201d, a sleazy, grease-fried reinterpretation of DJ DMD\u2019s Houston-rap standard \u201c25 Lighters\u201d.
