Most Badass Blues and Blues Rock Songs

Could make you feel badass, or they're just badass in general.
The Top Ten
1 The Bluest Blues - Alvin Lee

Alvin Lee, a pioneer, underrated and under appreciated.
I think the Bluest Blues, the best blues song ever.

Love this song so much, what a great blues with so much feeling inside!

One of the best guitar solos ever. The tone, the way it builds to a crescendo...Amazing!

Alvin at his best with a sweet slide guitar by George Harrison

2 Mannish Boy - Muddy Waters

Wow, this is hard for me to choose between all of them. This is one of the first ones I ever heard and fell in love with. But since then, I've heard SO many more.
Great list!

I'm gonna go with Britgirl on this one. This song has so much swagger.

3 Bad to the Bone - George Thorogood
4 I'm Bad Like Jesse James - John Lee Hooker
5 (I'm Your) Hoochie Coochie Man - Muddy Waters
6 La Grange - ZZ Top

Especially the part when the solo comes on. Great driving song

7 Stack Shot Billy - The Black Keys

Starts off slow, but then goes real badass.

8 Roadhouse Blues - The Doors

I like this by The Doors but I think Jeff Healey band and vocals are grittier.

9 Mountain Climbing - Joe Bonamassa
10 Ball and Biscuit - The White Stripes
The Contenders
11 Numb - Gary Clark Jr.

Glad to see him getting some recognition. One hard-drivin', finger-pickin' boogiemeister.

12 Voodoo Child (Slight Return) - Jimi Hendrix

Jimi is always the best

13 Pride and Joy - Stevie Ray Vaughan
14 Sitting on Top of the World - Cream
15 Turned Off TV Blues - Ten Years After

One of Al’s most overlooked songs, if BADASS is what we are listening for put it on crank and it LOUD.Air guitar heaven and air bass, keys and drums.

16 Evil - Muddy Waters
17 When the Hurt Is Over - Mighty Sam McClain
18 Blue Jean Blues - ZZ Top
19 Smokestack Lightning - Howlin' Wolf
20 Breaking Down - The Black Keys
21 Cold Shot - Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble
22 Yer Blues - The Jeff Healey Band

Not so much the lyrics, but his voice and the sheer power of the music. It's incredible!

23 I Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Steal My Jelly Roll - Taj Mahal
24 Slow Cooker Man - Travis Bowlin
25 Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa - I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know
