Your Favorite ZZ Top Song

[royalfan5]

Mine is La Grange. What is yours?

[C&CDean]

Just got payed...

[soonerbrat]

I don't like that one....when I was 17, I had an accident when that was on the radio and it reminds me of it every time I hear it.


I'm kinda partial to "She's Got Legs"

Jesus Just Left Chicago

[OU4LIFE]

'My head's in Mississippi'

[Boomer.....]

Sharp Dressed Man

[Viking Kitten]

No love for "Pearl Necklace"?

*giggles*

[Boomer.....]

Tush

[King Crimson]

i like "bad, nationwide" too.

[SoonerInKCMO]

ZZ Top? Are they those old guys that were David Cook's backup band on the AI finale?

[ousoonerfan]

La Grange

It's also the soundtrack to the pinball machine "High Speed II - The Getaway". Everytime I hear La Grange I think of sirens and cops on their loudspeakers yelling, "PULL OVER".:D

[sooner2b09]

Sharp Dressed Man

I second that

[yermom]

i grew up on that Eliminator stuff, but i think i like the older stuff like Tush and Cheap Sunglasses better, and La Grange

tough to choose :D

[tulsaoilerfan]

What, no love for Mexican Blackbird?

[Okla-homey]

What, no love for Mexican Blackbird?

They all call her punta...

[Taxman71]

Definitely their best video....based solely on the tall blonde.

As for song, I would add Gimme All Your Loving, then Tube Snake Boogie to the list.

[OklahomaRed]

"Pearl Necklace" and "Tube Snake Boogie"? What happens when you play them at the same time? :D


How about "I heard it on the X"?

[C&CDean]

No love for "Pearl Necklace"?

*giggles*

She tosses this out there and not one of you goobers bit.

Guess all you guys are smoking pot.

[StoopTroup]

If your favorite ZZ song isn't on LaGrange, Rio Grande Mud or Fandango...

Well...your probably ghey or one of their lady fans.

[mynameisjoe]

La Grange and Just got paid

[kbsooner21]

Gimme all your Loving

[OUsooner1]

Pearl Necklace.

[SouthFortySooner]

...she's about all I can handle, she's too much for my brain. She's got me under pressure!!!!!!!

edit: I saw them at RiverFest in LittleRock this weekend. Stilll Jammmin!

These are my favorite, but I hate hearing one at a time.

Leave it to the chick to phrase it like this...:texan:

While Dean says we missed VK's post, did anyone see this and think "You know how I know you're gay..."

Yes! That's one of the greatest set-opening songs ever written. I think I have to throw in for "Cheap Sunglasses" or "My Head's In Mississippi," though, because ZZ Top without the punchy lyric writing would be closer to just another blues rock band, and those are two of the best in that regard.

I was stumblin' through the parkin' lot, of that invisible Seven-Eleven...

[Oldnslo]

Why must I have a favorite?

Hell, I even like "Burger Man".

[BudSooner]

TV Dinners, Cheap Sunglasses, Tush,hell...even their rendition of Viva Las Vegas is 'aight.

I take that back, it reminds me of the Viagra commercials.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Tush

[VeeJay]

I don't see any references to "Tejas" here:

- Arrested For Driving While Blind
- Pan Am Highway Blues
- She's A Heartbreaker
- Ten Dollar Man

And the goofy "Manic Mechanic" - heh - what's not to like about that one?

[tulsaoilerfan]

Saw them in concert with Skynyrd a few years back and was highly disappointed; the music was good, but no hot chicks and no stage show and all their moves seemed choreographed

[sooneron]

In no particular oder, cept La Grange has the lead- Tush, Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers, Party On The Patio, Pearl Necklace.

[walkoffsooner]

Tush

no, we're just afeared of Czar....have you seen that guy?

[crawfish]

Tube Snake Boogie

[Sooner98]

Legs

[HoserSooner]

Always liked the guitar on "Got Me Under Pressure".

But I've always been partial to "La Grange".

[King Crimson]

my only problem with La Grange (and it's a great tune) but it's a little too close to being the John Lee Hooker song it basically is with the "boogie" riff and JLH's trademark "how how how" (from Boom, Boom, Boom).

i don't think Billy G. and those guys were doing anything but tribute but still detracts for me a little. just enough to prefer waiting for the bus.

For me, La Grange got pushed to the top partially because I have family from La Grange. That adds that little extra touch of fun to the song for me.

Chicken Ranch? :D

Chicken Ranch? :D

Not quite. It's the oppositeness of the situation that makes it fun.
