Hell, the whole "El Loco" album is an underrated classic...

Pearl Necklace (maybe not really under rated)
Blue Jean Blues
Jesus Just left Chicago

Great Blues tunes on those early recors.

BTW, can someone explain to me why some people tell me that ZZTOP covered War's 'Lowrider' but yet it's not on their greatest hits CDs??? Did they do a cover of that song??? Were the members of ZZTOP known as 'War' before they changed their name? Anyone? Anyone?

Brown Sugar
Bar-B-q
Enjoy and Get it On / Ten Dollar man

Gibbons puts on a clinic. The medley on Fandango is pure genius.
Listening to that, you start to realize they were arguably the greatest power trio (blues rock) ever.

Beard and Hill are underrated to say the least.

Simple answer to that one. War is a whole other band. The song has never been covered by ZZ Top (to the best of my knowledge), although everybody just THINKS that they covered it. When you see an mp3 called "ZZ Top - Lowrider", you're looking at pure lack of knowledge. (So to speak...)

I've always liked "Sleeping Bag" and "Arrested for Driving While Blind"! I've got the first 6 ZZ Top albums and really dig some of the older 70's tunes over the more popular songs from the 80's. Either way, I love the hell outta there sense of humor and inuendo like "Pork Chop Sandwich"!

[Coyote]

On what album can "Pork Chop Sandwich" be found?

[Dan]

1)Sleeping Bag
2)Pearl Necklace
3)Planet Of Women

[stringfelowhawk]

On the XXX album from 1999 I believe. Sorry, I've been offline for a while.

Beer Drinkers & HEEEEELLLLLLLLLL RRRRAAAAAIIIISERSSSS!!!!!! Sorry had to exagerate! :D

Thanks for clearing that one up!
