Answer in comments.

Answer: ZZ Top

One of the rumoured origins of the band name ZZ Top is that it has been named after two popular brands of rolling paper, Zig-Zag and ‘Top’.The current version of the story—as told by Billy Gibbons and recorded in his book Rock + Roll Gearhead–is derived from the name of blues guitar master B. B. King.They thus figured that “King” was also at the “top”, and so settled on ZZ Top.

Cracked by Dante, Praneetha, Rosh and the Flightless One.
