ZZ Top, Afterburner—1985
Afterburner (1985) is a terrible ZZ Top album. It is sittin’-on-the-tailgate-of-your-F150-drinking-Bartyles-and-James-and-smoking-clove-cigarettes-up-the-holler-round-at-midnight bad. But the album cover? It’s nearly perfect. Who doesn’t remember the bad ass “Eliminator” hot rod in multiple ZZ Top videos? It’s the car that empties scantily clad women ala a Ringling Brothers clown car. ZZ Top…they’re about fast cars, fast women, and fast music. What exemplifies speed more than a pimped out 1933 model Ford? Why, a space shuttle/Eliminator mash up, that's what? That thing is beautiful. And it’s moving so fast that it appears to be bending space!
