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

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?

Lol

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!"

Slade Alive is my go to buttrock LP xxp

can any good thing come from nazareth?

the guess who's "so long, bannatyne" is an underrated mid-tempo plod classic

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

Are you forgetting a-smith’s “sick as a dog”

So butt rock requires dogs?

That's how they say 'Hello'!

ALSO: How have we gotten this far without mentioning Butt Rock High Priest Sammy Hagar?

"It's got what it takes"

and the Black Crowes, which is clearly post-butt if butt at all

Shake Your Moneymaker (Butt)

"Sick as a Dog" is so damn good

imo it's not butt rock, for the same reasons no tracks on Sticky Fingers are butt rock

mama kin feels like it's got some butt in it

'bitch' has some oompa loompa in it

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

see also "Bitch"

wouldn't say its the platonic buttrock ideal but "dirty white boy" should prob get an honorable mention for the title alone

Does The Cult fit in here?

damn. Electric does seem like it would. and that's what? like 87?

Electric is, like, meta butt rock.

Electric Butt

"Fire Woman" definitely qualifies

Fire Woman is pretty butt, but there's too much going on, imo. Post-butt for sure.

I feel like some Brian Johnson era AC/DC fits but not Bon Scott

Black Velvet
is a little butt rock
Black Velvet
kinda slow but so what

what would be considered "taint rock"

Nickelback, because, 'tain't rock.

I think early Melissa Etheridge or Hootie is like butt rock lite or something. Neither has the balls to be butt rock, but you know they wanna be butt.

Man, you want '80s butt rock? Lots Bryan Adams qualifies. Like, "Somebody?" That's pretty butt.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqhELBUdYqM

Then again, maybe Adams represents that subtle transition from butt rock to, er, Mutt rock.

why are there several prime examples of hair metal in this buttrock poll? I know I am not the first one to point this out, but, GnR, Quiet Riot, and Twisted Sister ... hair and butt are related, but not the same. Also, Georgia Satellites and Metallica -- way too late.

when I think buttrock I think:

American Band
TCB
You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet
Bad to the Bone

and...

Slow Ride

i view buttrock as generating primarily feelings of fellowship, among the dudes and dude-adjacent ... it is the soundtrack to bros before hos for white men

sarahell otm

one rule of thumb I've applied is, could anyone possibly consider this song to be sexy? if the answer is yes, that song is not buttrock

music for slugging Miller Lites

I think I've heard the term "butt rock" twice irl and the people were referring to 80s hard rock/hair metal afaict (and one of those was from an ilxor). Outside ilx, I gather that online people use it to refer to post-grunge like Nickelback. It seems fairly simple to grasp what the compilers of this comp are going for. This thread's efforts to invent a subgenre based on purely affective properties seem fascinatingly quixotic.

quixotic rock is my favorite genre

I first heard the term "buttrock" in the 90s. it was in a response to a USEnet post where I was talking about Metallica, and this queefdick replied by saying Metallica sucked because he "hated cheesy buttrock".

i assume he was referring to the Black album (Load wasn't out yet), but idk

I'm fine with the exercise tbh. it's just an enjoyable thread goof. buttrock has never been clearly defined, and it's just a bit of fun, let's be cool

It's gotta be the right kind of super dumb, as in "butt stupid," which is different from regular stupid.
