Love that little band from Texas who taught us the tube snake boogie.

Mexican Blackbird one of my all time favorites. Early ZZ Top was awsome

Drive that old Chrysler to Mexico Boys

[BrAinPaiNt]

I like Dire Straights but this one is not even close.

ZZ TOP all the way. They are bad and nationwide.:D

[zrinkill]

ZZ Top ....... and its not even close.

[Yeagermeister]

Love me some ZZ

When I grow up I want to be as cool as The Rev. Billy F. Gibbons :D

I have been trying to talk the Mrs in to going to see them in June

Dire Straits are in Dire Straits the second they were pitted against ZZ Top.

No no no no never never never! Dire Straits all day everyday. Put on Romeo and jolliet or waterline and enjoy the talent of an extremely underated guitarist, mark knofler.

[Signals]

I like both but if I was forced to listen to a lot of either I'd go with Dire Straights.

I was always fond of ZZ Top, Tejas. I think I just liked the mellow mysterious direction that album took.

No question he is an awesome guitar player but it's ZZ Top. Billy Gibbons is pretty darn good also.

:laugh2:saw that car in Houston one night back in the '80s, heard on the radio the next day it had been stolen and taken for a ride and left somewhere. Never knew if it was a true story or not.

I'm usually more in favor of substance over style and deep, but melodic lyrics over catchy instrumental work...but ZZ Top for me here.

Don't get me wrong, ZZ Top...extremely talented musicians and that's why I prefer them over the Dire Straits. But, IMO two very different bands. Immensely enjoy both of them.

[jimmy40]

both groups had songs that would make you have a wreck, ZZ from driving too fast and Dire Straits from going to sleep.

I loved this video when I was a kid. I totally wanted to wear the high heels with the ruffled socks! :D

However, I think I'd probably have to go with Dire Straits.

[big dog cowboy]

ZZ Top

[Stautner]

I don't get the point of comparison. Different styles of music, different everything other than portions of their careers overlapped, which can be said of a heck of a lot of bands.

But ZZ wins - longer lifespan, more songs that are recognizeable, greater body of work overall. Some of the younger people on here may not be as aware of their Pre-MTV, Pre-long beard work,but that was their best work. Geting away from some of the more commercial work is a big treat as well - a lot of great blues stuff.

[DFWJC]

These two bands are not very similar, imo.

[63echo]

ZZ Top, but I'd actually give the 80s to Dire Straits and everything else to ZZ. I can't stand Eliminator and Afterburner.

I'm going to see ZZ Top and Skynyrd in May up here in Bangor. Pretty stoked. It'll be the first time I've seen either of them live.

[Lodeus]

Dire Straits for me. Like both though.

Love this song

ZZ for me....how cool is to have two bearded guys up front,and a drummer who has no beard,but his last name is Beard?

[ABQCOWBOY]

I like Dire Straights but this one is not even close.
