The most buttrockin' song on Buddy Blue's list of the top 50 Butt Rock Anthems (search term: buttrock)

I love "Hair of the Dog" btw. Exodus actually briefly played it as a joke on the cruise and it was cool as hell.

it's just fun to sing "Son of a Bitch" in beavisvoice

I can't decide whether to vote for the butt-rockiest song I like the most ('American Woman') or for my favourite song on this list ('Highway Star', preferably the Made in Japan version).

Bad to the Bone is amazing. and extremely cool tbrr w you guys

Bad to the Bone is rock badassery for CPAs with coke-bottle glasses that just ain't vibin to REO anymore

"Bad to the Bone" was extremely cool to me when I was 4 years old

Tbf 4 year-olds know a thing or two about butts.

i always associated music like that with Baywatch

speaking of which, that theme song is almost buttrock, but it has too much 'other' crap in it

i couldn't finish "hair of the dog", there's only room for one butt rock song with way too much cowbell and it ain't "hair of the dog"

aw

don't fear the reaper is too proggy to be butt rock

Hair of the Dog owns

yeah Reaper is poppy, maybe one could argue it was buttpop, but i don't concur

Wondering if "Flirtin' with Disaster" by Molly Hatchet fits here. Or is it somehow too Southern? Or too fast?

Is CCR proto butt?

And how does swamp rock fit in? Totally separate genre? Is there swamp butt??

From the list (which obv contains a lot of bogus butt) it would seem it's OK to be from Texas, but the Deep South only gets "Freebird" - fine, that's a monster - and the Black Crowes, which is clearly post-butt if butt at all

Is there such a thing as neo-butt? And how is it that a cursory search for 'butt rock' primarily yields results about post-grunge acts from the late 90s whereas almost everyone itt is pushing for a completely different chronology?

if there is a little Ohio Players feel to the buttrock, does that make it buttfunk?

dunno

does Jacksonville count as Deep South? because another dead-cert first-ballot entry to the butt-rock canon comes from there:

FLIRTIN WITH DISASTER by molly hatchet

Jacksonville is deep somethin'. if you go to downtown Jax on a Monday night and shout "hello!", it'll bounce back like you're in a canyon

Molly Hatchet kinda seems built for this genre

All of north Florida is Deep South ime. Strong historical ties to the CSA.

"Freebird" is too well played and too intricately arranged to pass the butt rock test imo

I'm not sure about "Bad to the Bone" ... blues are a basic ingredient of butt rock, specifically cheesy ill-played loud blues, but once a certain level of blues content is exceeded, we're moving out of the butt rock sector of the Venn diagram

I feel the same way about the Black Crowes track -- the lingering traces of Otis' genius are soulful enough to disqualify it

Agree with that fwiw

to me buttrock basically equals bar band blues rock

ah no

There needs to be a kind of stiff-hipped auteur boogie element to it imo

well, supposedly the term butt rock is a 90s term that came from radio stations that proclaimed they played 'nothing but rock' so it referred to the type of fare that appeared the most on hard rock stations, and not necessarily referring to 'new' music

I think a good butt rock song should trigger a little rump shakin.’ I’m voting VH

I like the "nothing but rock" etymology, never heard that before

but "stiff-hipped" is more descriptive of butt rock as I comprehend it ... it must rawk but it can't be too groovy or swinging

So is Dazed and Confused the movie with the most butt rock soundtrack? does have some ballads and butt rock adjacent tunes but D&C has a number of iconic butt rock songs/scenes.

Blown away by the pun from Nazareth, never got it on my own. I am the son and heir of a bitch that is criminally vulgar.

"Cum On Feel The Noize" by Quiet Riot

Er, excuse me?

Also, has no-one here ever heard of Status Quo?

And that's probably the first time the word 'auteur' gets within shouting distance of Quo.

you might want to have chosen a different song

the Quiet Riot Cum On butt rocks in a way that Slades...doesn't? idk....

Cum On butt

well that was unfortunate

i still haven't recovered tbh

xp But(t) there's people in the Slade clip fist punching the air!

Re: Quo, Slade imo buttrock has everything to do with the playlists of US album-oriented rock stations of the '70s and '80s and their "Classic Rock" successors, and the fact is Status Quo were and are not known in that world outside of "Pictures of Matchstick Men," and Slade were never a big presence there either. The Quiet Riot cover was massive in the US however. It may seem random which UK records have been anointed butt-wise but there is this history to it.

Hair of the Dog pun

holy
shit

Wait, what is the pun? That a son of a bitch is literally a dog?

A son of a bitch would be the heir of a dog. Heir/hair.

Oh!

Is the "h" in "hair" silent in Scotland?

Good one either way but even better if so.

I kinda want a thread dedicated to the best raspy, raw hard rock vocalists. Ones who can sound like they ate barbed wire

Dude from Nazareth was actually even better live.

Jesus?
