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

I think by definition, butt, it has to be dumb and stupid, which means not clever or funky or anything.

Do the Scorpions buttrock?

I own this CD (which doesn’t seem to be listed on Discogs — I may have to rectify that)... it seems to be an attempt to cash in with the “butt-rock market,” even though a full disc’s worth of such tunes were not available for licensing (so they had to pad it out with other stuff).

Scorpions ... like, their hits are too metal or hair metal. Hurricane is kitsch butt, like, I dunno, Boston.

"black betty" gets props for literally copying and pasting the start of the song twice (original version by "starstruck" on "truckstar records" has more rockin', less butt), but this is like... all primeval. i believe that butt rock wasn't truly perfected until the '00s.

i'm just off to listen to that compilation of every thin lizzy guitar solo strung together now, thanks

still not sure what this term means but many of these songs are intolerable

many of these songs are intolerable

That's one of the criteria

Also, interminable.

most buttrockin' rhythm section - Tush
most buttrockin' lead vocal - Highway Star
most buttrockin' lead guitar - American Woman

Scorpions are such an amazing band, masters of their craft

I really like the guitars on "Sails of Charon".

Another great recording.

Bad to the Bone is pure butt cheese and always will be. Humanity could exist for a billion more years and that song will never be cool. So that’s my vote.

Missing “Oh Well” here. Kinda want to go with “Hot Blooded.” And then “Welcome to the Jungle” is on the shoulders of what came before it, creating post-butt rock.

"Just Between You and Me" by Lou Gramm is Post-Butt Rock

i respect your categorization but mostly this is insanity

"Godzilla" is perfect butt rock (it even has a bass solo!) but because it's done with a wink it's only sort of ... half-assed.

voted Slow Ride, woulda voted All Right Now but I agree that it's more than butt. its solo is very unbutt even.

I have listened to roughly a million hours of classic rock radio and adjacent and have come to the conclusion that until this thread I have never heard Nazareth's Hair of the Dog. I thought this was going to be one of those classic rock songs like "Black Betty" that I've heard a million times but didn't associate the artist/title . . . but I don't think so.

Wow, to hear that song with fresh ears ...

As I told my wife just a couple of weeks ago, when you hear "Hair of the Dog" on the radio first thing in the morning, you know it's going to be a good day.

As a matter of fact, I literally just asked my wife what makes a song butt rock, and she summed it up best: "if they just farted it out, it's butt rock."

we have a couple of good threads on this if I could figure out how to link to a thread in Zing

Bad to the Bone is pure butt cheese and always will be. Humanity could exist for a billion more years and that song will never be cool. So that’s my vote.

I'm convinced.

Another great thing about "Hair of the Dog" is the pun in the title:

Hair of the dog = heir of the dog = son of a bitch, as in, "Now you're messin' with a..."

absolutely "bad to the bone"

a lot of these songs are great!

"pure butt cheese" sounds like a fungal condition

xxpost puns you had missed!

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
