I keep scanning through the list and feeling like I have a handle on how 'butt rock' is being used in this context but then it keeps slipping away. Like okay: 'Black Betty', 'Mississippi Queen', 'Frankenstein'. I get it! But then 'Hold Your Head Up'? 'Enter Sandman'? I don't get it!
I heard 'Hocus Pocus' the other day for the first time in a while and, man, that is a hot fucken jam. A jam with some weird-ass yodeling and scatting tacked on here and there, but a jam nonetheless.

highway star and born in the usa are probably the best songs, but they aren't buttrock imo (space truckin' and glory days are much buttier songs by the respective artists).
radar love also feels weirdly out of place, not easy enough to sing along (tho it rocks hard).
black betty and tush are the buttiest, but i think i'm gonna have to go with black betty cause i still get amped when that song drops lol

why won't you just butt out of this
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Friday, 7 February 2020 18:27 (four years ago) link
My friend and I tried to whittle down a definition, and what we concluded was it had to have a certain lack of ambition (ymmv). That is, it can't be funny on purpose ("Godzilla"), it can't have a clear unified artistic vision (AC/DC, Van Halen, ZZ Top), it just has to be butt-stupid blues-riff based rock. So, like, BTO's "Tacking Care of Business" is a yes, but in our opinion "Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" is a no, since it's got some cool chords in it. "Black Betty" is a no, because that thing is complicated as hell, and we didn't included stuff like Kiss, because Kiss is lame. Boogie always helps hit the buttock sweet spot, but our top picks were stuff like "Smoke On the Water" and for sure "Mississippi Queen" and "We're An American Band." Bad Company's "Feel like Makin' Love" deserves some, er, love, too. We considered stuff like Sabbath and specifically "Iron Man" as kind of honorary ur-butt rock.

idk i can picture wayne and garth banging their head to it. maybe they were more sophisticated than the average butt rockers. also, it's got a big dumb riff and a big dumb chorus ("metal wounds not heeeeealing"), and it inspired a big dumb rap song by trick daddy and lil jon.

This revive and Dusty Hill's death has me contemplating the line between smart-dumb and stupid-dumb in rock once again. I have a hard time calling ZZ Top butt, but I can't pinpoint how their wit shines through in "Tush", so literally and figuratively buttrock head to bottom, and yet and yet and yet I can't quite call it that.
― Citole Country (bendy), Friday, 30 July 2021 19:47 (two years ago) link
you cant think of it as a judgement. maybe it was intended that way but it’s easier if you just treat it like a fun theoretical subgenre “oh this song is good/i like this band/ therefore it’s not buttrock” will get you nowhereit’s the vibe that takes it there. buttrock ~is~ creepy & dumb & sleazy but it’s not just bad music that belongs here plus it’s a vibe that has been at the heart of rock n roll since elvis waggled his pelvis
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 30 July 2021 20:00 (two years ago) link

When we moved there in '78 - our next door neighbor was a divorced sales guy for Pepsi that had like 4 teenage sons (no mom). The dad looked kinda like Herb Tarlek with the checkered leisure pans etc. Their house was complete madness, with tons of Pepsi on the shelf, HBO on the TV and dad not much around - which meant all sorts of crazy stuff going on.The older brother looked pretty much like Wooderson, the two middle sons were twins Denny and Danny that had big curly fros and glasses and me and my buddies hung out with the youngest kid who was a couple years older than me (I was like 8-9 at the time). The twin brothers were geeky and were always like using those old metal tennis ball cans and building cannons with lighter fluid and using M80s to blow shit up. They literally got me high a few times as a kid like age 8-9. I remember well listening to the first Cars record on LP and like the world melting down.Couple years later the dad started dating this redheaded English lady and they eventually got married and moved out. How the heck he met a English woman in Muncie in the that era, I still wonder how it happened.

This sounds a lot like the dirtbag brothers who lived across the street from me with their widowed dad. Their mom was alive when I moved to the neighborhood, but then she got cancer and after she died, he used to lock himself in their backyard shed and drink all day, so the two brothers basically took over the house. I was forbidden to hang out with them, but of course that's where I spent my afternoons when my mom was at work. They listened to some lunkheaded shit — Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, KISS — but they were also into Zappa, the Residents, ELP and Captain Beefheart, all of which I learned about over there.
