From The Big & Dumb Department The guitar riffs are ham-fisted, the drums lumber and shamble along like drunken rhinos, and the lyrics range from dunderheaded to savantish.→[More:]Yes, I'm talking about butt rock/mullet rock. But at their best those anthems capture something. The pride, frustration, desperation and even pathos of everyday existence in the prosaic world.

These three gems show that at it's best:

Axe - Rock And Roll Party In The Streets.

Superficially, this is just another party anthem, but something about it captures the sad sense that the "party in the street," is just a momentary respite from workaday misery.

Dictators - I Stand Tall

Yeah, my boys again, (featuring the owner of the last meetup site on lead vocals). This song could be a great alternative national anthem. It communicates the sense of living in a weird-ass place, but loving it anyway.

Manowar - Carry On

Yup, New York's favorite loincloth wearing Metal band provide the ultimate meathead anthem (featuring former Dictator Ross The Boss on guitar). Subtle it ain't but if it dosen't make you want to pump your fist in the air just a little bit, then I can only conclude that you have no soul. Possible the best testosterone OD anthem ever.

You won't win any cool points anywhere for loving this stuff, but I'm sure you all have your own favorite fist-pumping lunkhead rockers. Let's hear 'em!
