Is every girl crazy for a sharp dressed man? | ZZ Top - Eliminator

On this episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Plouffe listen to Jamie's next pick, ZZ Top's Eliminator. Their eighth studio album, Eliminator was released in 1983 and marks a departure from their earlier blues influenced sound to something very in keeping with the 80s. The album featured the use of drum machines and synthesizers, with guitarist Billy Gibbons saying he took inspiration from bands such as Depeche Mode and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark for this change in their sound. The album was a hit, due largely to heavy rotation of the music videos for Sharp Dressed Man, Gimme All Your Lovin' and Legs on MTV. Eliminator was also well received critically, with many reviewers praising the new direction for the band. Will the boys give this album all their lovin or will this album be tossed out like old T.V. dinners? Come along and find out!
