there ain't no goddamn way half of these bands are worse than Staind. Staind sucks really bad! Guys, it's ok to drop them even lower!
Every one of them is worse than Staind. As much as they’re made fun of, Outside and It’s Been A While are great songs. I like a of the early heavier songs too. I don’t like any of the other bands I listed at all.

I’d maybe pass by Godsmack at a festival.
The drums are cool but can’t stand the vocals or lyrics and they’re one of the many AIC ripoffs.

Disturbed is better than Staind. in 2011 i was flying to Syracuse, NY and driving from there to Watkins Glen, NY to see a phish festival. i was travelling the day before the first show, and at my connection in DC our plane got delayed for four hours and then cancelled, no other flights that day. spent four more hours in the airport with the airline dicking with me about a hotel, finally got a hotel and transportation to the hotel but my bag with all my clothes and my tent and shit had somehow made it to Syracuse even though I didn't. they didn't promise me a ticket for the next day just said show up at the airport hope we can make it work. i wasn't smoking at the time but actually bought a pack that night to smoke one cigarette.
next day show up at the airport and it was pure chaos (this was july 4 weekend). wait and finally get to the ticket counter, tell the guy whats going on with me, and he laughs and says "yeah we aren't going to get you a seat" but then he silently tapped on his computer for 10 minutes and printed me out a boarding pass. so kind of fuck that guy for saying it wouldn't happen, but moreso thank you to that guy for tapping on his computer and getting me a boarding pass.
get to syracuse and pray my bag is there, go to baggage services and she goes in the back for a while, i remember i heard the "clink" of my bags wheels hitting the ground from the back and the wave of relief coming over me was palpable.
i go get my rental car, and as i'm pulling onto the interstate to head to Watkins Glen, i flick on the radio and Disturbed's "Indestructible" is playing and i was like FUCK YEAH MOTHERFUCKER CRANK THAT SHIT UP I'LL LET YOU KNOW I HAVE BECOME INDESTRUCTIBLE
i felt like the dude on the album cover. planes can't stop me.

godsmack and nickelback are also clearly better than staind. i don't know much about godsmack but they opened for black sabbath in biloxi in the late 90s, i wasn't at the show but my wife says they were awesome.

the thought that someone would think Staind is better than Godsmack is kinda pissing me off and ruining my morning tbh

I used to have this dishwasher at a restaurant I worked at back in the 00’s. His name was Shep and was one of the funniest dudes I’ve ever met. He also wore a Godsmack hat every day. During the dinner rush the line would be slammed and he’d reach up to the cd player and pop in Godsmack and wash the fuck outta those dishes. 40 tickets deep, none of us really cared and just needed plates and that was his war cry.
After the rush was over, we’d stand outside smoking and Shep would run out, bend his head low (he was a tall fucker) and scream “Y’ALL DONE GOT GODSMACKED” and run back in.

I know I've said it before but it still surprises me how much the hate for Nickelback has waned in recent years. It's like people just got too exhausted from the hate and them refusing to go away and now everyone has just settled for them being aggressively mid and flavorless instead (as opposed to being outright terrible, which they still are).

I don't want to assume that my tastes have to coincide with someone else's lived experience and everyone deserves to speak their truth, but I only partially agree with this list.
I will rank them below, with the disclaimer that I seperate the art from the artist and will not penalize any buttrockers who's personal politics deviate from my own belief system.
1. Papa Roach (dumb modern rock that doesn't take itself seriously. Saw them at an early Ozzfest and they brought the house down ) 2. Disturbed (mostly dumb but the riffs are good and David Draiman always makes me laugh) 3. Shinedown (corny but not offensive) 4. Saliva (made a couple of good WWE theme songs back in the day) 5. Buckcherry (mostly dumb but sleazy in a believable way not a pandering way) 6. Nickelack (the first album wasn't awful and I can't blame guys for aiming for the bag) 7. Three Days Grace (inoffensive inconsequential modern rock with the occasional good riff) 8. Breaking Benjamin (same as #7 but with less good riffs) 9. FFDP (mostly bad but they did one song with Rob Halford that's actually kind of a banger) 10. Staind (not the worst but the music is brooding and whiny which isn't how I like my butt rocked) 11. Three Doors Down (kind of feels like Train doing hard rock cosplay) 12. Puddle Of Mudd (made one good WWe theme song) 13. Hinder (melodic butt ballads for the ladies) 14. Theory of a Deadman (Terrible) 15. Trapt (Terrible and dumb)

Their very name is taken from an Alice In Chains song. They were a huge influence on Godsmack. Unfortunately they never could approach the shadow of Alice In Chains who is a Top 3 [tm] late 80’s/early 90’s hard rock band. I saw them with Layne in 1993. And I saw them with the new singer in 2018. They still fucking rule and I’d see them any time.

This took way more time than i wanted and i apparently forgot to include Godsmack. They slot in at #3 after Disturbed but before Shinedown. I've seen them open for Metallica twice and you'd be lying to yourself if you don't get turnt when the riff to "I Stand Alone" comes on.

My main thing is I like heavy bands that have good singers. It’s why Tool is one of my favorite bands. It’s why I’ve listened to and seen Chevelle way more than I should. I think Aaron has a pretty good voice. Let me say though, I’ve never seen them live. I haven’t actively listened to them in like 20 years and I think Aaron is a pos person. I just think they’re better than all of those other bands.

Yeah. As long as Jerry is still around, they can do it. Imposters don’t work because of all the split vocals. Just like it’s hard to replicate Daltrey/Townshend or David Lee Roth/Michael Anthony, it’s hard to do Staley and Cantrell. In AIC’s case, DuVall can sing Staley and meshes great with Jerry.

I’m pleased to say I’ve seen very few buttrock bands live: Tool, Prophets Of Rage, Gravity Kills (?), Sister Machine Gun(?).
I don’t know. Is Pearl Jam buttrock? I don’t think they are. Skid Row/Sebastian Bach is probably buttrock but probably peaked too early to be included here.

Pearl Jam is 100% buttrock. It was played on buttrock stations non-stop.

It predates it though by a few years as most of the grunge acts do. But then again, Sabbath been around since the 1960's. Plenty of cock rock (70's mostly) crosses over to butt rock too. So It's possible some of those could be in play. Cypress Hill got some rotation on the buttrock stations too as did Beastie Boys.
And doing my job by infecting all of you for infecting me with music I didn't want to think about, "dah dah dah dana da da da da da Yeah." (Fucking stupid ass song was playing in the store yesterday).
