Description: Formed in Houston, Texas in 1969, ZZ Top became known as much for their beards and humor as for their blues-rock swagger. Afterburner marked their continued embrace of synthesizers and MTV-era visuals, propelling them into the mid-’80s mainstream. The band’s high-tech stage sets and music videos from this period—often featuring the iconic red Eliminator car—cemented them as cross-generational pop culture figures, blending Texas roots with space-age style.
