Nonsense! Is this what you call music? How about Wild One, Bobby Rydell, Im Sorry, Brenda Lee, and my favorite is: Beyond the Sea, Bobby Darin. I'm a music fanatic and have been since I was a kid (*many* years ago).Thanks,partially,to the magic of computer technology I have a music collection of over 5000 songs,about 95% of them being from '57 to '69.My collection includes everything from Dylan,to Anita Bryant,to Percy Faith,to the Who....and *lots* of stuff in between.The era you mention (late 50's/early 60's) was a truly great one and is *well* represented in my collection,I assure you.

ZZTop didn't have Frank or Dusty in the ORIGINAL lineup.
ZZ Top - Salt Lick
http://www.billyfgibbons.com/Bio.aspx
When the Moving Sidewalks parted ways in 1969, Gibbons sought to form a more boogie/blues rock-based band. He hooked up with Billy Etheridge from Dallas and Lanier Greig. At the time Billy had an apartment, and had nothing on the walls but stolen rainbow handbills. One day while sitting there, he noticed how these posters had been tacked up in no particular order just to cover the walls. At the left end of the wall was a B.B. King poster, toward the right was O.V. Wright and all the way over at the far end was ZZ Hill. From there he created the name ZZ Top from ZZ Hill and Top meaning King. The band soon got together and cut the first single, Salt Lick b/w Millers Farm, launched in-house with Scat Records. At the time when the ZZ single began taking off and the gigs started rolling in, there was an important change in the ZZ Top lineup
.namely Mr. Frank Beard and his bandmate, Mr. Dusty Hill.
