Rock Survey - Sharp Dressed Man (ZZ Top)

Artist:  ZZ Top
Song:  Sharp Dressed Man



Video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wRHBLwpASw

Quick Thoughts: "That little ole' band from Texas", formed in 1969 in Houston. This is the only rock n' roll group with its original members still onboard after three decades, with guitarist and lead vocalist Billy Gibbons, bassist and co-lead vocalist Dusty Hill, and drummer Frank Beard.  Great guitar.  Blues-based boogie rock, strong blues roots and known for humorous lyrics.  This song is also sung by Brad Paisley.

Ranking from Original "Top 1000" List:  991
Added to my Personal List?  YES
Total Songs Added to Final List8

Having grown up listening to mostly hip-hop, R&B, some alternative, and all sorts of music in Spanish, I decided it was time to give myself a personal survey of Rock music.  My friend BJ Swanner compiled a "Top 1000 Rock Song List", aggregated from several "Top Lists".  As I go through all 1,000 songs, I'll be creating my own list, sharing a brief post like this for all the songs that will make my final list.   I will not be ranking the songs that make it to my final list.....for now.
