This week the Christmas holiday is coming up and so I assumed many people would be sharing their Three Tune Tuesdays with Christmas songs. I considered it as well, but to be honest, I'm not just not in the mood to day. When I was younger I used to love the holiday, but as an adult I just don't enjoy it nearly as much. Not to mention gift giving can get expensive, and it seems rampant consumerism has taken over the season.
So today I'm just going with some fun rock n' roll with no theme, rhyme or reason!
But first off I want to say thank you to @ablaze for starting and continuing to sponsor this fun weekly event where you can share three songs that you enjoy. One lucky participant will win some HSBI units, you can't have too many of those! So if you don't already participate feel free to jump in, just use the tag #ttt or #threetunetuesday and it's never a bad idea to do a shoutout to @ablaze .
At the last second, after hearing @geneeverett 's TTT, I did add a Christmas song he shared on his TTT. It was just too good not to throw in. Plus I can now say I'm in the Christmas spirit. Thanks Gene!
ZZ Top
This iconic and legendary band formed in Houston, Texas in 1969, before I was even born. For 51 years they had the same lineup of Billy Gibbons on guitar and vocals, Dusty Hill on bass, and Frank Beard on drums. What's ironic is the Frank had no beard despite his last name! The lineup only changed upon the death of Hill in 2021, but for almost any band that is one of the most stable lineups there ever was. In the early 70's they established themselves as a solid rock band with great performances and several hit songs.
In 1983 they released Eliminator where they tweaked their sound to fit into the early 80's scene and found worldwide success. One of the biggest hits off the record was this classic "Sharp Dressed Man":
Guns N' Roses
This legendary band formed in 1985 in Los Angeles, California. They achieved world wide fame in 1987 with the release of their debut album Appetite for Destruction. Throughout all of the fame and high energy concerts they were plagued by drug and alcohol abuse that eventually would tear the band apart. However, they did make some memorable and catchy tunes that are still fun to listen to even today. Here is their first big hit "Paradise City":
The Cult
This rock band from Bradford, England formed in 1983 and picked up a following in the UK with their debut album. Their third album, Electric (1987), was a huge seller in both Europe and the US, with several hits charting on both sides of the pond. They have always been one of my personal favorite bands and they put on a great show. Here's a song off of Electric called "Lil' Devil", it a lot of fun!
No Doubt
I love this Orange County band from Anaheim, and after hearing this song in Gene's post I'm adding it in here too. It's a really cool cover of the The Vandals, another band from Orange County, but it's Christmas themed and fun. This is "Oi To The World", and I think @tengolotodo would enjoy this one!
That will do it for this Three Tune Tuesday. I really felt in the mood for some good old style rock n' roll and this hit the spot! Please feel free to leave any questions or comments below, and thank you so much for all of your support. I really do deeply appreciate it! Have a great day everyone!
