Episode 49: 'Eliminator' with Justin Ross

The Sharp Dressed Men of ZZ Top receive the 'My Classic Album'
treatment as rock artist Justin Ross joins Mike to celebrate the
iconic 'Eliminator' album.


From the moment he first heard ZZ Top at a car rally, Justin knew
this band would shape his musical identity for years to come and
together he and Mike explore the impact 'Eliminator' had on the
MTV generation with it's eclectic blend of blues rock and new
wave influences.


How did the likes of Depeche Mode and Orchestral Manoeuvres In
The Dark influence ZZ Top at this point in their career?


What impact did the 'Eliminator' music videos on MTV have on the
success of the album? 


What lyric from 'Legs' is amusingly lost in translation across
the pond from America to the UK?


PLUS: Hear 'Drink The Water', a track from Justin's new album
'Into The Dark'.


Grab yourself a TV Dinner and settle in for another episode of
'My Classic Album'.
