Boogie rock is a music genre which came out of the hard heavy blues rock of the late 1960s. Largely designed for dance parties, it tends to feature a repetitive driving rhythm in place of instrumental experimentation found in the more progressive blues-rock bands of the period.
Boogie rockers concentrate on the groove, working a steady, chugging back beat, often in shuffle time.
Bands include Canned Heat, ZZ Top, AC/DC, Vardis, Molly Hatchet, Status Quo,Savoy Brown and Foghat.
