YMMV / ZZ Top

• Epic Riff: Too many to count, though "La Grange" is easily the most iconic.
• Mexicans Love Speedy Gonzales: La Grange, Tx. is a real place, as is that shack that once stood just outside its city limits ^note more of a large dilapidated farmhouse than a shack, really, but close enough. Given that, it's amazing to see the tongue-in-cheek love a conservative minor city has for a song that has helped forever brand it as "The Best Little Town In Texas". The band paid back the love in 2015 by holding a full concert at the annual county fair of the town that had been a favorite layover stop in their earliest days of touring.
• More Popular Spin Off: Of American Blues (Dusty and Frank's previous band) and Moving Sidewalks (Billy's previous band).
• Narm Charm: The lyrics to the Trope Namer for "Sharp-Dressed Man," have the singer describing himself not in a snazzy suit or in full formal evening wear, but a mish-mash of styles that makes him look like he's trying too hard ^note silk suits are worn during summer but topcoats are for autumn, top hats are for formal white tie but he's wearing a long tie, and how is he wearing gloves and a diamond ring at the same time?. And you know what? You could totally pull that off.^note Alternately, the singer may be boasting about the lavish contents of his wardrobe, not necessarily the clothes he happens to be wearing at the moment.
• Newer Than They Think: They were never known for being a band of clean-shaven musicians (though Billy Gibbons was briefly clean-shaven during the band's early years), but their iconic beards weren't fully grown until El Loco era. El Loco was released just five weeks before MTV first launched, leading to the band making videos for songs on their next album, 1983's Eliminator, resulting in many people's first exposures to the band having the image of Billy's and Dusty's huge beards, even though most of the songs that get played on classic rock radio come from Eliminator or before.
• Signature Song: "La Grange" and "Sharp Dressed Man", although "Legs", "Gimme All Your Lovin'" and "Tush" are not far behind in popularity.
