Eliminator<\/strong> is the eighth studio album<\/strong> by American rock band ZZ Top<\/strong>. It was released on March 23, 1983<\/strong>, by Warner Bros. Records, and rose high on the charts in many countries. Four hit singles were released\u2014\u201dGimme All Your Lovin’\u201d which reached the American Top 40, \u201cSharp Dressed Man\u201d, \u201cTV Dinners\u201d and their most successful single, \u201cLegs\u201d. Eliminator is ZZ Top\u2019s most commercially successful release, with sales of 11 million and diamond certification in the US.<\/p>\n

Since El Loco in 1981, the bandleader, Billy Gibbons, had been moving ZZ Top\u2019s boogie and blues rock style towards the popular new wave style. For Eliminator, he increased the tempo and used more synthesizers and drum machines, producing a \u201ctighter\u201d album with a steady, driving beat. The pre-production engineer Linden Hudson collaborated with Gibbons in Texas on the tempo and songs. The producer Bill Ham and the engineer Terry Manning joined Gibbons in Memphis, Tennessee, to edit the songs, replacing much of the contributions of bassist Dusty Hill and drummer Frank Beard. Ham claimed the album was solely the work of ZZ Top, but in 1986 Hudson won a lawsuit establishing himself as composer of the song \u201cThug\u201d.<\/p>\n

Music videos for \u201cGimme All Your Lovin’\u201d, \u201cSharp Dressed Man\u201d and \u201cLegs\u201d received regular rotation on MTV and helped ZZ Top gain popularity with a younger base. A customized 1933 Ford coupe, depicted on the album cover, appeared in the videos. Following Eliminator\u2019s release, ZZ Top embarked on a worldwide concert tour.<\/p>\n

The video for \u201cLegs\u201d earned the band the MTV Video Music Award for Best Group. Rolling Stone named Eliminator number 398 on its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. It was listed at number 39 in The 100 Greatest Albums of the 80s, and it was also included in Robert Dimery\u2019s book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. A remastered version was released in 2008.<\/p>\n
