I lost what I wrote twice, slow internet, errors and access denied.
The people that laugh at Whitesanke are those who know only their MTV videos or their 1987 album. But Coverdale and Whitesnake are so much more. Their albums from 1977 to 1984 are great. I don't mind their commercial period either. And then there's Coverdale's collaboration with Page, so underrated it hurts. There's a blues number Don't Leave Me This way that, to me at least, is better than anything ZZTOP ever did. Restless Heart is another album that is bluesy and the song to top them all is Take Me Back Again.

ZZ Top for sure.....their first 3 or 4 albums were damn good blues rock imho...after that even though they wrote some 'radio hits'., they became a parody of themselves. Whitesnake was a parody of them selves from day one.

I like Whitesnake before 1987, but Top is just greater.

There has been countless Spinal Taps in RīN`R (quite many also in prog). Many of them has anyway done great albums.

Don't laugh at other people making polls here. I'm sure you would not like someone laughing at yours.

Whitesnake and ZZ Top both saw their best days before their mid-1980s sellout albums that catapulted them in the Top 20 with "Legs" and "Here I Go Again."
Whitesnake devolved from a solid Purple-derived hard rock outfit, anchored by the late great Jon Lord, to an AquaNet & blow-dryer-fueled candyass band on par with Poison ...but still better than those guys! After all, Whitesnake at one time or another boasted John Sykes, Vivian Campbell and Steve Vai in the line-up. But Rudy Sarzo should have never, ever frosted his hair. LOL!
ZZ Top likewise took a few steps back when they streamlined their no-BS dusted down hard blues sound into a scruffy pop-blues-rock b*****dization of what had put them on the map. The omnipresent drum machine was so awful, too. They still had some good songs strewn across those albums Eliminator and Afterburner, though.
But ZZ started making good music again, while Coverdale is simply cashing checks by having his band ride the coattails of their glory days.

Whitesnake........really..? A second rate hard rock band with a singer who wanted to be Robert Plant but isn't fit to be his roadie.
