"Nasty" Songs

There's a lot of nastiness (of all sorts) going on in the world today. So here's a bunch of "Nasty" Songs to accompany the chaos. The songs themselves aren't really "Nasty," per se – in fact, a good number of them are instrumentals – but that word does appear somewhere in the title of each. Enjoy!  ~  JH



1)  ZZ Top  ~  “Nasty Dogs And Funky Kings”




2)  Cosmosquad  ~  “Fat, Mean, & Nasty”




3)  Axel Rudi Pell  ~  “Nasty Reputation”




4)  Holychild  ~  “Nasty Girls”

6)  Jacques Johnson Sr. & Jacques Johnson Jr.  ~  “Nasty”




7)  Janet Jackson  ~  “Nasty”




8)  Doug Trammell  ~  “Nasty”




9)  The Damned  ~  “Nasty”




10)  Vincent Ingala  ~  “Nasty”

18)  Leon  ~  “Nasty Groove”




19)  Toke Squealy  ~  “Nasty Weather”  (Best artist name of the post goes to...Toke Squealy. This was a nail-biter. Rattled Roosters was also a strong contender.)

21)  David Bennett Thomas  ~  “Nasty Roche”




22)  Isaiah Stewart  ~  “Nasty Moves”




23)  Brad Kelsey  ~  “Nasty Weather”
