Entre_Perpetuo Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Go and buy yourself some cheap sunglasses. I'm in a ZZ Top mood. Deguello is great medicine. How would you rank the Top's output? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) I'm going on a ZZ Top run over the next few days, all their albums. There's three ZZ Top's First Album, Tejas and El Loco that I haven't heard much from or haven't heard in ages. Also I've only just picked up the latest one La Futura so I'll wait till I've gone through these ones and I'll come back and do my rankings. :smoke: <<< Beardless Billy Gibbons Edited May 11, 2017 by treeduck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 The thing about that poll is, are we just choosing the best album? Well anyway I'll do the poll later and rank all the albums then too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I'm listening to ZZ Top's First Album right now. It's tremendous! This edition is one of the 5 pack Original Album Series. It has the original mix used for 70's vinyl editions with a real drum sound. Sounds great! :codger: <<<< Dusty Hill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 Just found out that all of my ZZ Top albums from the first one through El Loco (minus Deguello) are apparently the much maligned remixed versions from the 80s since I got them all via the compilation set "Six Pack." So I went to listen to the difference between my version and the original by pulling up a video of Brown Sugar on youtube which claimed to be ripped straight from vinyl and... I can hear the difference a bit, but it's really nothing to write home about, not to my ears. Did they really sit down and rerecord every song's drum track using an 80s set for the remixes? It sounds to me more like they took the original drum track, upped some of the levels, and added a bit more reverb. Maybe I tried the wrong track to hear the difference? Idk, it all sounds good to me. I will say the original had Billy's voice and guitar hard panned to different sides of the mix for the intro, and I did like that effect.
