This isn't a perfect roundup of
ZZ Top's superstar years of the '80s, but it comes pretty close. It dips back into the '70s for
"Pearl Necklace" and
"La Grange," with a couple of selections from the post-peak '90s, but this does offer the
MTV-era basics:
"Gimme All Your Lovin'," "Sharp Dressed Man," "Rough Boy," "Tush," "My Head's in Mississippi," "Doubleback," "Cheap Sunglasses," "Sleeping Bag." What slows this record down are some new cuts and album tracks that don't deserve to be here, along with a remix, not the original version, of
"Legs." Still, that may just be quibbling for some listeners, since the basics are all here, making this a good complement to the '70s-focused
The Best of ZZ Top (although it would be nice if a definitive disc, with all the hits, would appear on the market).
