The beginning of the end, that's what Eliminator was...the little 'ol blues band from Texas gets above it's raisin', buys some sequencers and rides the MTV wave.
Hope they at least made some good money because 'cuz from there on in they sho'nuff made some lame music...Never was an album more aptly-named than Recycler. Rclark, give a listen to Tres Hombres and hear the real power and the glory...

MTV killed ZZ Top, IMHO, and I was about fifteen years old when MTV came out, so I was the prime MTV demographic.
To take it one step further....

(pause for dramatic effect)

...The first song played on MTV was "Video Killed The Radio Star".
 
I think MTV (nearly) killed music. (or at least didn't do it any favors)

Yeah. What happened to La Futura  :?:   It sounded so distorted on my PC that I never bothered to listen to it on my big rig......

I still love Tres Hombres on LP.

If anyone has a link to a remastered Tres Hombres LP/FLAC/WAV/CD/MP3, I'd like to know........I'll buy a copy.... Just point me to it......

Tres Hombres and Tejas are pretty much the only ones I listen to these days.

Been fortunate enough to not hear this album overplayed. I bust it out every few years (literally), and it always impresses.

One of those albums where the name and cover match exactly what you're getting inside.

Love how the first three songs just "blow the doors off"  :thumb:. Favorite track is "TV Dinners." Wish I'd been part of the scene when it dropped. I'm sure it eliminated a lot of rock albums of the time.

Thanks for those recommends. Btw your daughter's speaker build thread kicks ass  :thumb:

Now hurry up and get a ps4, you are going to love it. It's like the Next Gen Enterprise vs the old 60's one.

You're welcome, and thank you very much.
Might have to have her start building speakers on the side to fund the PS4 account.   :lol:
