I made a quick list and already have 25 albums. Typically I think of the artist and go back and try to pick one album. Back in the day, the album used to be the unit of importance, now I find it is the artist&#8217;s catalog (and collaborations!). So, today I&#8217;d put together my own playlist of tracks from several albums.  I like the earlier ZZ Top albums quite a bit, but Eliminator was the first concert I saw (in Lubbock, TX, January 19, 1984, with Night Ranger opening).  So here&#8217;s album 2 of 10 of 25 (so far), for ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ZZ Top Eliminator You should go listen to the whole thing, but here\u2019s one song I recommend to get you started: Sharp Dressed Man Ben challenged me to post 10 albums that have influenced my musical taste \u2013 one a day for 10 days.
