I like the bar-boogie ZZ Top over the MTV superstars.

Once they got into the MTV era,their albums became over produced. If you buy any of the early CDs, make sure they are the original mix versions. They were
remixed with more echo when they first came out on CD, to try and make them sound like the newer stuff. The result sounds like they are being broadcast on an early 60's, boss jock AM radio station. AWFUL!

Got to agreed (mostly) with the previous comments. The early albums are far superior to the later ones but check out Rythmeen which is a return to the early stuff.

Stick with the early, more blues-influenced albums.

Their early albums are tremendous work indeed. It is too bad the later albums don't stack up with their better work.
