| Blues-rock
has rarely gotten more down and dirty than with Texas's famous
long-bearded trio ZZ
Top. Billy Gibbons, Frank Beard, and Dusty
Hill are responsible for some of the greatest party anthems of
all-time. They churned out a number of '70s rock
classics, and in
the '80s they managed to adapt succesfully to changing times,
scoring hits with a souped-up, synth-flavored sound. Eventually,
though, they got back to their gritty, bluesy roots, and in 2004
ZZ top's contribution to rock & roll was officially recognized
via their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. |
