Eliminator and Afterburner made ZZ Top very wealthy indeed, especially after signing an enormous contract with Sony. But as sales started to fizzle after those two MTV-fueled megasellers, the band eventually returned to their roots as a 3 piece band playing great, hard, in your face blues-rock.
(Fun fact, Billy, Dusty and Frank all played saxophone on Deguello)
One of my favorite ZZ Top albums is still Antenna, which never got great reviews, and I Gotsta Get Paid is one of my favorite "New" ZZ Top songs. (It came out in 2012)
