ZZ Top - La Grange

ZZ Top

ZZ Top is an American blues rock band, formed in 1969 in Houston, Texas. Comprising of Billy Gibbons (lead vocals and guitar), Dusty Hill (vocals, bass, and keyboards), and Frank Beard (drums and percussion), ZZ Top was ranked number 44 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.". The trio's original lineup has been intact for over 40 years; their longevity together of 41 years has placed them second only to the Four Tops, whose original band members remained intact from 1953 until the death of Lawrence Payton in 1997. ZZ Top retained the services of the same manager, Bill Ham, until September, 2006.

La Grange

La Grange is a song by the rock group ZZ Top from their album Tres Hombres, released in 1973. Considered to be almost a "one-chord blues", it is one of their most successful songs. It was released in 1973 and received extensive radio play, rising to #41 in the Billboard Pop Singles list in 1974. The song refers to a bordello on the outskirts of La Grange, Texas (later notoriously known as the "Chicken Ranch"). This brothel is also the subject of the Broadway play and film The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, the latter starring Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds.

In March 2005, Q magazine placed "La Grange" at number 92 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. The song is also ranked number 74 on Rolling Stone magazine's "100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time". The song was also included as a playable song in the video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.

@smellslikelithium1 go look at other videos. they say the same thing, but vice versa. as well for every fucking genere there is out there.

@smellslikelithium1 What would you say if i made a similar to the text u posted and in the place of hiphop and pop i put rock artists and in the place of rock artists i put rapers? And then say that rock is the bad music and the real one is hiphop. would that be fair for a rock fan as you are? One advice from me to you my idiot friend.. Think before you talk..

[snafmar]

@smellslikelithium1 Pop was always a popular music, never had that "real" or "fake" thing. Just like Rock'n Roll. So dont tell me that ur one of the 8% of teens who listen to the awesome rock music cuz for anyone awesome is a different kind of music. You shouldnt even dare to speak about hiphop when you know shit about it and even worse when u think your music is the best of all.

[snafmar]

@smellslikelithium1 Hiphop history goes like this. When it came out, it was about life in ghettos, the poor and destroyed lives these people where living. And when a rapper talks about true things and things that he lived , then he is real. He is fake when he speaks about what the public wants with beats that play in clubs and idiot teens like, what "sells" then he is fake. Cuz he is lying just to get money, just to be popular.
