The band behind 'Tell Me What You Want' kept pushing boundaries through the '80s and '90s.
For a quick sense of their range, start with the radio hit 'Tell Me What You Want,' then check out something like 'Rupert' or 'A World That Is Learning' from their later work.
Zebra's 'Tell Me What You Want' became a classic rock radio staple, but their catalog goes deeper than that one hit. Songs like 'Who's Behind the Door' and 'Love's a Suicide' drew attention for their suggestive themes and darker lyrical territory. They weren't just a one-album act, either, they kept recording through the late '80s and into the '90s.
The band formed in the 1970s and released their self-titled debut in 1983. They followed it with records like 'No Tellin' Lies' in 1984 and '3.v' in 1986, then kept going with 'The Herd' in 1989 and 'Zebra IV' in 1993. A live album, 'King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents Zebra,' came out in 2003.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
