Back in time

23 March 2023

40 years ago today, on 23 March 1983, giant Californian
rock trio ZZ TOP released their 8th LP ELIMINATOR.

It was a big commercial triumph.
#9 in the Us, #3 in the UK
#in New Zealand, #2 in Canada

AllMusic said: “One of their best, yet it sounds like a mechanized ZZ Top thanks to the unflaggingly accurate grooves. Then again, that’s part of the album’s charm — this is new wave blues-rock, glossed up for the video, looking as good as the omnipresent convertible on the cover and sounding as irresistible as Reaganomics. Not the sort the old-school fans or blues-rock purists will love, but ZZ Top never sounded as much like a band of its time as they did here.” Score: 4.5/5.

R.I.P. Dusty Hill.
