Yeah, and I still think the girl with the long blond hair in this video is one of the all time hottest ever...any video.....wow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EXXZVdUJ98
Their charm is based precisely on not being innovative, but on consistently providing a steady diet of bluesy boogie-rock year in and year out for 40+ years.
i always liked the fact that the only band member with no beard is named Frank Beard.
I know that is not a sophisticated joke, but I still like it....
It changes constantly, but this my current favorite ZZ Top riff:

Pull on those strings with chip-on-shoulder ‘tude.
Gotta love that thundering bass rolling underneath the whole thing, as well.
Smokin' Lucky Strikes and wearin' nylons, too
HEY... that’s a cool picture!

ZZ Top - Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers
I think “Fool For Your Stockings” is my ZZ Top favorite.
I can’t believe “Disco Duck” didn’t make the cut...what’s wrong with these people?!
Well, a lot of ZZ Top purtists hate the synthesizer stuff... it’s still controversial for some
IMHO they pushed the envelope in a number of directions over the years without losing touch of the root sound- but I definitely consider them innovative, particularly withing this genre- vs say, the Fab T Birds for Stevie Ray Vaughn
Never knew this one until college... that was when I started getting into their older stuff
And, for extra non-existent credit (except in your own trivia-loging mind) -
Which ZZ Top song was also known as “The God Drums” of Lud?
Yeah, those were good videos back then. I guess they got too expensive. I liked Van Halen’s “JUMP” too. Good for when I am running at the gym too.......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlq0lYB3iSM
Do you mean Jimmie Lee Vaughn with the Fab T-Birds?
