Yeah, they did. Is it La Grange?

^Has to be it. Tres Hombres 1973, awesome album.

Excellent album indeed. I just didn't think there were any hit singles from it.
SWIK.

La Grange has been overplayed on NA radio stations for quite a few years now.

Guess it didn't translate over here. Nobody here even knew ZZ, commercially at least, till Eliminator.

I prefer Moving Sidewalks myself

Yeah, Troll, quick history. They started out as the Moving Sidewalks in the sixties (thus my mini joke

).They broke through with Tres Hombres in 1973 as Plankton indicated. They also had a hit with Tush a few years later (can't remember the exact year) and was played off and on at AOR radio stations. Then they broke through with Eliminator in 1983 thanks to MTV and a trio of hot girls. They rode that wave for a few years obviously.

Yeah, I remember my brother loving (like we all did) the singles from Eliminator (would we have loved them as much without the videos? Answers on a postcard...) and buying Rio Grande Mud. His exact words: "This is nothing like the other album!" No ****, sherlock!

I went the other direction. I went through a big ZZ phase in the early 80's, buying listening to Deguello, Tejas, Fandango and Tres Hombres, and when Eliminator came out, I was a little disappointed.
