Hence its inclusion at number 19 on our list. Blues and hip hop mightn’t seem the most natural of bedfellows, but if anyone could make it work, ZZ Top could. Next up we have I Gotsta Get Paid, a revamp of DJ DMD’s 1989 rap hit “25 Lighters” (which, fun fact, is Houston slang for taking a lighter apart and stuffing its innards with crack). Johnson may or may not have sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads but going by fan’s reaction to this 3.09-minute masterpiece, ZZ Top may well have. In at number 20 we have Dust My Broom, an updated version of I Believe I’ll Dust My Broom by the blues legend Robert Johnson. The one thing we do know for certain is that you’re guaranteed to find at least a few of your favorites in this round-up of the 20 all-time best ZZ Top songs. In 2004, their contribution to music was given the recognition it deserved when Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones inducted them into the Rock and Roll of Fame as grand an honor this was, whether it not it competes with having one of their singles(“Flyin’ High, in case you didn’t know) debut in space being named “Official Heroes for the State of Texas” by the Texas House of Representatives being presented with commemorative rings by Billy Bob Thornton at the VH1 Rock Honors or having Paula Abdul choreograph their music video to “Velcro Fly”, who knows. Their success continued all the way through the 1980s and 1990s, with albums such as Eliminator and Afterburner racking up phenomenal records sales. After signing to London Records, they began pumping out hit after hit, quickly gaining a reputation for their bawdy lyrics, distorted guitar sounds, and humorous videos. They first joined forces (albeit with a slightly different line up) in 1969, with their debut single, Salt Lick, coming out that same year. Hailed by fans and critics alike as being some of the finest roots musicians around, ZZ Top has managed to bridge the divide between commercial success and critical acclaim to spectacular effect. ZZ Top released their last album in september 2012, it is called “La Futura” a mix of Blues Rock, Boogie Rock and Southern Hard Rock from Texas….The collective of vocalist/guitarist Billy Gibbons, bassist/vocalist Dusty Hill, and drummer Frank Beard has been showing what three men with a passion for rhythm (and a fine line in beards) can do for over 50 years. the famous ZZ Keyring will disappear once placed on top of the grave prepared for the red car that was part of the success of the previous video of ZZTOP The funeral of the Eliminator is very sad…….
In fact, ZZ Top decided to change their vehicle, from the classic red car called “eliminator” to the rocket of Afterburner ( the car will be destroyed in the video of Sleeping Bag and replaced by the rocket”
the astronaut that is riding on the rocket that is the symbol of the album. They also talk about Egypt that will recur also in the cover of the single where a sphinx is wearing astronaut shades……. the ZZ Top are explaining how it is great to make love with their baby inside a sleeping bag. Sleeping Bag lyrics are very easy to explain…….
Today we talk about another success from the band from Texas, published in 1985 in the album “Afterburner”, the song is “Sleeping Bag”.Īfterburner is the ninth album made by Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard and produced by Billy Ham….rapidly it rose the chart of the most sold albums reaching the status of Platinum Album several times.
