Heart was huge here in the 70's,and had a major impact in the 70/80's music scene.They also helped to dispel some of the bias towards women in rock and roll.As for ZZTop,I ignore their newer stuff,but their Deguello era albums are fantastic.

About the only thing I liked about ZZ Top were the 3 hot chicks driving around in that red car. The video for "Legs" gives me the warmies.

I only caught part of the documentary, it looked good though.  I recorded it for later.

The concert was interesting because they had Bill Bruford playing drums while Phil was doing his 'front man' thing.

Don't the suits at VH1 know that prog rock is a big taboo?  What's gotten into them?  And isn't this yet another sign that the rapture is near at hand?  Shocked

Well, somebody mentioned this in the other thread, let me just confirm. This thursday in VH1 Classic the Rock Honors will take place. Remember? That same awful show last year hosted by Jaime Pressley where Def Leppard, judas Priest and Kiss were honored? (The show wasn't awful because of the honorees, but because of the lack of respect and the awful cover versions by noisy, mtv-styled bands, except for one). Well, this year the honorees are: Heart (Barracuda anyone? - were they really so important? I don't know much about them), OZZY (well, there's not much to question here), ZZTOP (I dislike the band but I don't know anything) and, wonder of wonders, GENESIS!
 
Be sure to tune in. I don't know what weird version of Genesis we'll get (for sure the trio, but they WILL perform 95%), and I don't know how they will fit among such a hard-rock-oriented crowd, and also, and the thing that mostly worries me: who will play covers of them, what covers will there be played, and how? ConfusedConfused If someone goes on playing "Invisible Touch", that may be too "pop" for the slightly harder-edge audience of this "award" (more like a Hall of Fame thing really), I'm just puzzled as to what cover will be played (covers are mandatory...those are the actual "honors"...)
 
Tune in!!!! Confused

Wow I'm gonna have to check that out.  Also Genesis is going to be honored on VH1 Rock Honors on Vh1 Classic.  I think it airs this Thursday or something like that.

I see that  VH1 Classic (in the U.S.) has some Genesis on tonight.

7:00 PM - Genesis: A History
9:00 PM - Classic Concerts: Genesis: In Concert documents the concert that Genesis embarked on in 1976, after their album A Trick of the Tail.
