Antenna is the eleventh studio album by American blues-rock band ZZ Top, released in 1994 (see 1994 in music). It was the band's first album to be released under the RCA label. It was also the first time ZZ Top had a song with the album title in its name (Antenna/Antenna Head.) The opening track and final single from the album, "Pincushion," reached #1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The Album cover is sometimes rumored to have originated from Operation Ivy's famous Ska Man Cover, however this has yet to be proven.
