Texas King Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Two very commercially successful albums from 1983. Take your pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I always thought Def Leppard were a joke band with terrible lyrics playing mundane arena rock, whereas ZZ Top an awesome band with a magnificent guitarist and some great songs - although I`ll concede their 70s albums were better than anything post-Eliminator (who knew a band could be partially ruined by synths!!!). Maybe - because I`m English - there`s just something more interesting about Texas when compared to Sheffield. But I can easily see that the beards and furry guitars might not add to any bands` credibility... but anyway, yeah, Eliminator! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I really love Eliminator. But it’s not one of my 5 favorite studio albums. Pyromania is though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) And here I thought I was going to be the only Pyromania voter here. When I first saw the thread, ZZ had 3 votes and Def Leppard zero. Edited December 9, 2019 by Lorraine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I voted for ZZ Top simply because I don't understand why Def Leppard is so popular. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Def Leppard = english Bon Jovi. Bleh. Billy Gibbons pre-ZZ band toured with Jimi Hendrix. Come on man, not even close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket ignites Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Nice match-up. I'll give the nod to ZZ 'cuz she's got legs and she knows how to use 'em. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Carmina Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 "Legs," "Sharp Dressed Man," "Got Me Under Pressure," "Give Me All Your Lovin," hell, even "TV Dinners," heavy rotation in my eighth grade year, videos with slinky women: it's gotta be ZZ Top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordgalaxy Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Def Leppard gets a lot of props from me because they let a one armed guy continue as their drummer. Unlike Yes who decided Jon Anderson being sick was just too f***ing bad and went on tour without him. Assholes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Def Leppard gets a lot of props from me because they let a one armed guy continue as their drummer. And they deserve the props for that. I respect them a lot for it too. Still, ZZ wins here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only owned ZZ Top album, Deguello, and I don't play it very often. I don't play DL very often either but more than ZZ Top (I pronounce that "zzzzztop", all one word). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
