ZZ Top

After having established a dedicated following with a five-album run that kicked off with their 1971 debut, ZZ Top entered the '80s with no idea that their fortunes would turn in a big way.

The ZZ Top discography now spans 45 years, 15 studio albums, and as guitarist Billy Gibbons frequently jokes, “the same three guys playing the same three chords.”

"For us," Billy Gibbons later admitted, "there was no turning back."

ZZ Top have been forced to postpone at least one show on their current tour following an injury to bassist Dusty Hill.

Very few classic rockers went through a transformation as jarring, or as triumphant, as they did.

Released on Jan. 16, 1971, 'ZZ Top's First Album' offered a taste of things to come from the Texas blues-rock band.

ZZ Top will return to the road in 2016.

ZZ Top's 'Tres Hombres,' released on July 26, 1973, finally hurtled the Texas band to stardom.

ZZ Top will play La Grange, Texas, for the first time.

The guys in ZZ Top are heading back out on the road for a run of tour dates that will see them touring North America through the late summer and early fall.

Billy Gibbons once described them as the "same three guys, same three chords" – but this group remained surprisingly diverse.

Jimmy Kimmel started his month-long 'Mash Up Mondays' series in style last night, inviting Weezer to join ZZ Top for a performance as the mashed-up Wee-Z Top.
