“Dis-co Sucks! Dis-co Sucks!”
Right? Amirite?
Except that, as I said before and reinforced here: ZZ Top is not a rock band. They are a boogie dance disco band. With guitars.
And America loved it. This was a huge seller for the band.
It’s fine for what it is, I guess, but what it is is four on the floor and guitar breaks separated by monotone lyrics sung with about as emotion as can be mustered through that bees nest of a beard.
Here’s the thing about ZZ Top that I have come to learn:
They wrote one song. Every other track is a variation of that one song. Or two. Sometimes there’s another.
