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.

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

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.

And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. And he told those who sold the pigeons, "NOW YOU'RE MESSIN WITH A SON OF A BITCH!"

late-period procol harum has some good stuff in that vein too, hell even as early as "whiskey train" they got that shit going on

I've heard "Hair of the Dog" a million times and "Love Hurts" ten million times, but I just played Hair of the Dog for the first time and that is a top-shelf hard rock album ... I feel dumb to have slept on these guys for so long
I didn't hear any butt rock on this album, for the same reasons early Aerosmith is not butt rock

"Mama Kin" is closer to butt rock, but I don't think saxophones are allowed
