"Hair of the Dog" indeed an egregious omission. Related: cowbell seems to add a little buttness generally speaking

Josh let’s just agree to, well not exactly disagree, but that I’m completely right about “Ain’t Seen Nothin Yet” and you’re completely wrong

Very sad, the Bob Seger track should have been Her Strut.

It's between Black Betty and Slow Ride. Slow Ride has the advantage of two tempos: double buttin'. But I think I gotta go Ram Jam.

Foghat’s cover of “I Just Want to Make Love to You” is even more buttrock than “Slow Ride”.

Oh shit, "Her Strut" is such butt rock. I saw Seger at MSG a few months ago, and not only had I not heard that song since it was on the radio, I think I thought it was ZZ Top!

Does anybody know where I can download the "Hey man is that Freedom Rock?" "Yeah man!" "Well TURN IT UP, MAN!!" commercial?
I swear you kids these days have no idea how good you have it. Back in MY DAY you couldn’t just go to YouTube and type “freedom rock commercial”, oh no.

In leaving out Nazareth, this list is clearly willing to mess with a son of a bitch. Which is a pretty buttrockin' thing to do, but not as buttrockin' as the song itself.

xp, I personally believe buttrock ended in 1979, and anything later is something else. Maybe that Pat Travers song is grandfathered if it was recorded before '80.

Wasn't buttrock supposed to be like, Pearl Jam and stuff? Theory of a NickleCreed?

it's not even totally a decade boundary thing with 79, so much as by that point, new wave couldn't be ignored, and it blunted the swagger.

gotta be some buttrock bleed (sorry) over into the 80s right? def a time and place thing so GnR or Metallica or later Aerosmith feels wrong. Billy Squire tho...

I love Billy Squire, but there's a Mutt Langiness to his sound that's un-butt. Mutt stole the Butt.

"Hot Blooded" will always be the Platonic form of butt-rock, IMO. At least, its the one that immediately makes me feel the most embarrassed for everyone involved.

when anything resembling buttrock is played in her hearing, my wife makes a face and says "This sounds like Foghat!"
ergo Slow Ride ftw
― Brad C., Friday, 7 February 2020 21:35 (four years ago) link
Voted for my favourite, which was "Highway Star". Rigorous attempts to define "butt rock" certainly helpful, though.
― With considerable charm, you still have made a choice (Sund4r), Friday, 7 February 2020 21:56 (four years ago) link
I always thought butt rock was hard rock with the edges kinda blunted, like Foreigner definitely being my idea and prob Grand Funk Railroad, but I like dancing to a lot of these. My personal favorite here is "Mississippi Queen".

I still don't get why anybody would call Black Betty butt rock. It's crazy showoff syncopated and tricky. Should you be able to dance to butt rock?
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 7 February 2020 22:33 (four years ago) link
and not like in the way the stones or dusty Springfield did American R&b. foreigner and Foghat et al feel so “American” that i think ppl are often shocked when they realize thats not the case
― A-B-C. A-Always, B-Be, C-Chooglin (will), Friday, 7 February 2020 22:36 (four years ago) link
"Hair of the Dog," though, that should be called "Hair of the Butt." It's got cowbell *and* talkbox. And it's awesome.

lol didn't know Foghat wasn't American. in my defense I've prob thought about them a grand total of 22 seconds in my life.

their three big hits rule ok well apparently Lou Gramm guess American, but the rest of the band was UK. didn’t know that.

I disagree with one of the points upthread - there was a lot of butt rock made in the 90s under the grunge flag Very little butt rock in the 80s though
― valet doberman (Jon not Jon), Friday, 7 February 2020 23:06 (four years ago) link
Buttrock has as much to do with British Blues as American music. Also I think most of these bands were pretty skilled and limber, even if the point was lumbering riffs, having played a variety of genres growing up. Especially compared to their descendants in hair metal and cock rock, who just grew up playing this stuff.
