Their most recent album release was La Futura in 2012. In 2004 the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (where their famous Eliminator car currently resides).

1986's Afterburner was a continuation of the Eliminator sound, though the car was now transformed into a space shuttle, and they had two more Top 10 singles, "Sleeping Bag" and "Rough Boy", plus their dance song "Velcro Fly". Their first two releases, "Gimme All Your Lovin'" and " Sharp Dressed Man" were modest hits on the Billboard Hot 100, but received heavy MTV video airplay along with their third single, a remixed version of " Legs" (which reached the Top 10, a first for the band), with the centerpiece of each video, a red 1933 Ford coupe called "The Eliminator" and three scantily-clad women featured, and "Legs" introduced the group's famous white wool "spinning guitars". About the same time MTV was heating up as a release point for videos, so the band added synth vibes to their guitar/bass/drum sounds, making them more appealing in a mainstream audience, and releasing videos.
In 1983, their album Eliminator was released. After their 1976 album Tejas was released, the band took time off, then after their 1979 album Deguello their career began to take off, with the release of their singles "Cheap Sunglasses" and "I Thank You". Their Texas tours continued to grow in attendance. In 1975 their album Fandango! was released, featuring their hit song " Tush". In 1973 ZZ Top opened for The Rolling Stones and released their album Tres Hombres, which became their first million-seller and their first single, La Grange, was released. In 1969 the band got together and began touring and recording albums in 1970.

Gibbons & Hill also are known for their trademark unshaven beards, the Gillette company offered the duo $1 million each to shave their beards for a TV commercial, which they graciously declined.

The band consists of guitarist/vocalist Billy Gibbons, bassist/vocalist Dusty Hill, and drummer Frank Beard. ZZ Top is the longest tenured band in rock history (52 years, The Four Tops members are second with 44 years together) and their style has not changed much in those years. ZZ Top is an American rock and blues band, who performed the songs " Tush", " Legs", and " Sharp Dressed Man" in the show Miami Vice.
