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 “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,” “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). The album also features two new tracks “Viva Las Vegas” and “Gun Love”.
