Nutty - this thread has gotten some legs so not sure if I'm repeating something already mentioned but if you like Deep Purple you probably already know their "In Rock". Sweet Child in Time is pretty memorable.
Also to radfrad, been listening to ZZ Top off and on since 1973 or so. Over the years my appreciation for Tres Hombres has just grown. That is such a solid album. No fat. Nothin' but lean muscle. Really, really good...especially played LOUD.
I posted these on the obscure bans thread but give a listen to The Standard: Swimmer, Albatross, or Wire Post to Wire (3 very good records by them), also Nada Surf - especially The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy or You Know Who You Are. The Standard is kind of emo/progressive. Nada Surf more indie rock/pop. Different than the blues-rock stuff that mostly gets talked about here (not saying anything is wrong with that).
Later.
