    Nice!
    Okay, I'm going for (what I think is) the low bearing fruit
    Circle 1: ZZ Top / Eliminator?

    ZZ Top is circle 1 and the song I'm looking for is on the Eliminator album.
    Good start/clues!

    Dutch brothers must be Van Halen. Sharp Dressed Man sort of fits, but I can't tie it to other parts of the clue.

    Van Halen is correct for circle 2.
    The three artists/groups are all male and their respective song titles all contain the same word, but the full song titles are not exactly the same.
    I can provide the album the song was released on, if anyone wants that hint.
    But you're all a smart bunch and the answers aren't obscure :)
    @RunTimer: Eliminator clarification- it's a nickname for the car model, the Eliminator is a ___ ___.

    It helped being a fan of all three. I have nothing at the moment, so if anyone wants to step up please do.

    OOOO, me, me, me! I heard this on the way to work a couple days ago and I haven't forgotten it. So before I do.
