Crosby, Stills, and Nash, of course (College in the 70's)
The Beatles
Jethro Tull
Fleetwood Mac (Stevie Nicks was hot in '75)
Moody Blues
Early Elton John
ZZ Top
Rather an eclectic group!

Re: OT: Great performances
How could ANYONE not like ZZ Top?
Re: OT: Great performances
My nephew can't stand them, thinks they're overrated and overplayed (he's 27).
As an aside, I met Billy Gibbons a few years ago, cool dude. I told him how much I loved Breakaway, and he thanked me.
Personally, I think the Moody Blues are underrated.
Re: OT: Great performances
Of course ZZ Top is over-rated! But some of their songs are classic and their videos were awesome! The schtick worked!

Overrated, what's that mean exactly? They made it really with their exposure on MTV, they worked that well. They have sold 50 million albums and been inducted into the R&R HOF, who's doing the rating?. By the time of Hill's death in 2021, ZZ Top had become the longest-running band with an unchanged lineup in the history of popular music.[
Re: OT: Great performances
I think the word, "over-rated" had more to do with the quality of their music. It isn't exactly music and lyrics you'd remember 20 years from now, but you have to take into consideration how they definitely found their niche and milked it for all it was worth!

Okay, they took like a sabbatical, came back, music had changed, they had grew the beards, and it clicked with MTV

Re: OT: Great performances
OK I love this song but this it the goofiest collection of MFers in the history of American Music. LOL A song so easy even a Caveman could sing it!
