I don't really know how much music I listen to would be classified as "classic" but if you haven't heard Maggot Brain by Funkadelic it definitely needs to go onto your list.

A quick bit of trivia here. The only member of ZZ Top that doesn't have a beard and has never had a beard with the band as far as I know, happens to be the drummer who is called Frank Beard strangely enough.

I've also got the remastered cd version, I don't think I've ever heard the remix that Urban was referring to.

There was a time when Billy Gibbons didn't have a beard..

Yes but that's not a proper beard in the first picture though!

The first time I ever saw and heard of ZZ Top was in 1983, when I saw them on the Tube which for any non-Brits here was a great Friday early evening music show that featured all kinds of great bands that did about 3 or 4 songs and ZZ Top were one of the best to feature on there, I usually used to rush home from school to see it.

I'm sure Urban knows it and probably Trollheart if they had TV in Ireland at that time

I missed the whole Tube thing. I don't think we got Channel 4 till something like 1987.

OK I think I can safely say I like ZZ, no big surprise there.
BTW yes US I do know of the Tube and watched it many times. Let's not forget OGWT though! Now THERE was a show...

Anyhoo, on we go and next out of the bag is one I heard once but was too young and stoopid to appreciate, probably, so here's giving it another go with the wisdom (huh?) of another thirty years added on...



My report will be on your desk first thing whenever I feel like it...

I like Low but it's definitely not the magnum opus people make it out to be. Give me Station to Station, Aladdin Sane... Hell, even Ziggy before Low. That's not to say it's not a great album... It is... That just goes to show you how great Bowie is.

Station To Station has always been my favourite Bowie album. I don't know if it was because it was my first Bowie album outside of a Greatest Hits I got for Christmas one year, but it is always the one I go back to.

I'd probably go Low, Aladdin Sane, Heroes. I'm a big fan of Eno though so maybe the B-side of Low appeals to me more than it would to others.
