Certainly used to be. Started losing interest after Elliminator when they seemed to forget their blues roots. Still, fantastic band live.

I've got some of their early albums - Fandango is awesome and worth it for the best cversion of Jailhouse Rock I've heard.

Its great - half live, half studio. Any album that that features Tush and Heard it on the X is worth having.

Obviously no-one likes a bit of Souther Boogie. I thought it may have been of interest due to Rush supporting ZZ in the early days.

Hey Slain:

Big ZZ fan here.

I was re-organizing the vinyl library last night and ran across my old copies of Tejas (great artwork) , Rio Grande Mud and Tres Hombres.

But I was an old ZZ fan when they still played "Jesus just left Chicago" and "Waitin' for the Bus".

I still play Deguello from time to time because I could never get enough of that version of "Dust my Broom" and "I'm bad, I'm Nationwide" is one of my favs .

But don't call The Top "Southern Boogie".

Texas man...Texas. There was a famous quote..."Texas ain't part of the south - it is America"!

Well, considering my opinion of these new-fangled former colonies who call themselves nations...

I also like ZZ but since I've only got them on vinyl and my records decks are without styluses the now, I've not heard them for ages...

New-fangled colonies...

I will have you know sir that I live in a "colony" that still marks Victoria Day, reruns "Faulty Towers" continously, was brought up in an Anglican Church and yes, I sang "God save the Queen" in elementary school and I still think Pagey was the greatest.

I've been a good little subject!

Can I have some more sir....
