ZZ Top
"Sharp Dressed Man"

Released in 1983

ZZ Top was a rock band from Texas. The band was instantly recognizable by the long beards of Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill. You would hear them on FM radio in the 1970s, but they exploded when MTV came around and had many of their biggest hits.

ZZ Top was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.
