ZZ Top is one of the world’s most identifiable rock bands. “That Lil’ Ol’ Band from Texas” is responsible for super hits like “La Grange,” “Sharp Dressed Man,” “Legs,” and several others. When the band started up, it consisted of blues rock musicians. What makes ZZ Top so amazing is how its sound has evolved to keep up with the times. They hit it big in the 70s, and when pop came into the spotlight in the 80s, they went right along with it, playing around with synthesizers and focusing on the visual aspect of their music. Before the world knew it, they were stars of the 80s MTV era as well. —Henry McGrath
