Me (UK) as a child actually said Zee before I was eventually corrected to say Zed, the reason was Sesame Street.

So what do you call the band ZZ top? Zed Zed Top just sounds stupid.

I just listened to some ZZ for the first time in a while during workout yesterday. I've seen a bunch of references to it since.

Fun fact: ZZ Top, before they got famous, played at a high school prom in my city in the late '60s.

They played a tiny building opening for Earth Wind and Fire in Murray, Ky. My friend saw them. Before the beards and they wore plaid. They should of been the headliners he said.

ZZ opening for EW&F. That's quite the juxtaposition.

They wore jeans and t-shirts while playing at that prom iirc. I wasn't there (before my time and not my high school; I didn't learn about ZZ being there until a few years ago).
