Three bearded men



A review of ZZ Top´s "Greatest Hits".

Three bearded men. Two of them have long beards. The third is named Frank Beard. All three strike strange Egyptian poses. Naturally, they are surrounded by blond girls with some cleavage, weirdly pseudo-feminist videoclips and extremely uncool cars.

Yes, it's ZZ Top.

This greatest hits collection contain both songs from their "old" period (considered the best by the hard line fans) and the hits from their "new" period, considered the best by 80's pop & disco freaks like myself! I mean, what would the 80's have been without "Legs" and "Sharp Dressed Man"? Even ZZ Top's terrible foray into disco, "Viva Las Vegas" is included on this album.

There really is very little else to say about ZZ Top's Greatest Hits, the ultimate boogie rock album of all times.

  1. Check out the videoclip of "Sharp Dressed Man", I always associated this song with Gaddafi, and no, it´s not a false memory!
