Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

They might come from the Sunshine State, though we have to say they don’t look the part. Not that it matters a lot, of course. These guys knew how to rock out, and that’s good enough for us! Tom and the others simply possess the longevity and talent that has earned them a solid spot in rock history. “American Girl” was among their biggest hits, though fans all mourned the death of Tom Petty in 2017.

ZZ Top

ZZ Top started out as a blues-inspired rock band but later incorporated punk rock, new wave, and dance rock with the use of synthesizers. They are best known for humorous lyrics that had been full of innuendo and double entendres. The rock band consisted of Billy Gibbons on the guitar and Dusty Hill on the bass.
