Recorded in Memphis, their next album, 1990’s Recycler, was something of a hybrid, with tracks such as My Head’s In Mississippi and 2000 Blues harking back to the band’s traditional sound, while the likes of Concrete And Steel and the anthemic Doubleback stuck to their tried and tested formula of hard rock embroidered with synths and electronic beats. Having established themselves as the most badass boogie merchants in the business during the 70s, ZZ Top updated their sound to startling effect by adding synths and sequencers to the mix on their 80s smashes, Eliminator and Afterburner. Despite Hill’s passing, in July 2021, the band is still very much together, and the ten best ZZ Top songs prove just why these hirsute Texans are the cat’s whiskers… Listen to the best of ZZ Top here, and check out our best ZZ Top songs, below.

You're afraid of the dark, baby, no need to be shy
We'll talk about some lovin' while we look at the sky
Don't be hesitatin', it'll be alright
We'll tuck it in until it's clean out of sight
Slip inside my sleeping bag
Slip inside my sleeping bag
Let's go out to Egypt 'cause it's in the plan
Sleep beside the pharaohs in the shifting sand
We'll look at some pyramids and check out some heads
Oh, we'll whip out our mattress 'cause there ain't no beds

SongFact:
"Sleeping Bag" is a song performed by the band ZZ Top from their 1985 album 'Afterburner'.
Cash Box said that the song is a "high tech workout which makes good use of drum machines and Fairlight effects as well as the 'lil ole band from Texas' innate soul."
The song was released as a single in 1985 and became their most successful single, reaching #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, equaling the peak of their previous single "Legs". However, unlike "Legs", it also reached No. 1 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, a first for the band.
The song was featured in the 2017 film 'I, Tonya' during an ice skating routine. The real-life Tonya Harding previously used the song in some of her actual routines.

TASTING NOTES
I was ridiculously uninspired going in. Did my best. Had the added wrinkle of the roller derby afterparty, so I played to them a bit.
My dreams of reordering my crates were wrecked by my surprise, early this week, that it was indeed Third Space Saturday week.
I had a chill set for 1-2am foundered by a drunk* that broke my concentration. Plus, I ran out of records. I don't have a problem with people coming up and saying something, like the person who came up during the ZZ Top record, and asked what mix it was! And having the Treasure Valley Roller Derby after season party in the Space was a blast! It would have been nice to know that beforehand, so I could have loaded up on some sassy and aggresive women for the mix! I apologize. They were a great crowd. They did their thing, had a good time, and I enjoyed playing to them.
Elusive Panda Buck Dave from the Dedicated Servers dropped by and said hello, so did the Real Rah-Keem.
Jules came up and requested "weird shit," like that Clipping jam that I throw in the regular set. So, I’m envisioning the 1-2 am bonus as a set for those of us who work there.
We turned the volume down, and I threw on some down tempo tracks. It's something I want to explore further.
*That drunk doesn’t know how close he came to getting destroyed by my brother in law Jeff. Seriously. He just kept pushing the nonsense, and it totally broke me. Asking me questions about the Mariners gear, and distracting me with questions about Seattle sports, and saying off the wall things like "93rd and Aurora." without elaborating on it. Jeff stepped in to wing man for me, and endured the nonsense. Like I have done many times for DJ IGA back when he occupied the booth. Jeff knows how to hang without demanding to be entertained by a person AT THEIR JOB WHO IS TRYING TO CONCENTRATE!! Well, whatever. I'm going to have to work hard to overcome things like that. Part of the gig.
Next Third Space is 15 July, 2023. I swear I will have some different jams next time.
