"Poll question: who had as better career ZZ Top or Huey Lewis and the news?"
30 years back i had both these acts tapes. Eliminator was a huge break through hit album for ZZ Top. they had a cold sound and everybody dug there ride as well on the album cover.
i also had sports on tape by huey lewis and the news it was catchy back then.
that was a different time in pop music however these records were popular with alot of bar band acts and the stuff was catchy.
now of the two acts who had the better songs, albums and career?

ZZ Top has had lifelong memberships in their fan club for decades. Those fans will be with them until they dissolve. Not that Huey Lewis doesn't have fans but... ZZ Top for life.

Brown Sugar & Going Down To Mexico off the first ZZ Top album go hard.
Tres Hombres (with La Grange on it) was a platinum album in '73 ten full years before Huey Lewis & The News had their first & both were basically done commercially around the same time in the late-80's.
ZZ Top were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame a decade ago, safe to say Huey & Co ain't seeing that day ever.

...than ZZ Top, not saying ZZ Top isn't bad or got a better career but Huey Lewis already has me as a fan and I do listen to their music every once in a while.

Desert dry sound, cool riffs, ace lead-guitarist, ill voices, great songs, at least 1.5 amazing albums ("Tres Hombres" and the studio-side on "Fandango"; the live-side is bullshit) and 3-4 very good ones.
"Eliminator" is a bit corny but I think it sounds better now than it has done in years and there is some good shit. Regarding the hits, "Gimme all your lovin" and "Legs" are pretty lame but "Sharp dressed man" kicks ass IMO
