"Southern Rock" is two leads; a great lead vocal; a few other guys and girls. What is it you don 't get? Y'all:ROTF:

The Allman bros have to considered the leader of the whole southern rock scene, but LYNYRD SKYNYRD, was the undisputed best of the bunch Outlaws were good but not too prolific, Charlie Daniels, Little Feat, Marshall Tucker, 38 Special all had their moments, Molly Hatchet just plain kicks ass, Southern Rock is probably one of favorite kinds of music

His name has been changed to protect the innocent. I pulled a Ron.:ROTF: :ROTF:

Ricky Medlocke from Blackfoot has been playing in Skynyrd for the past couple of years. I will be checking them out frontrow at the local Indian Casino next month.

Ricky played with Skynyrd as a drummer on thier first recordings at Muscle Shoals. He also was a co-writer on some of thier early songs.

The Allmans opened the door for all those that followed but I think Skynyrd took it to another level.

I never really thought of ZZTop or the Black Crows as southern rock

"Howdy folks, the is your old buddy Shorty Medlocke.
I'd like to tell ya bout a bunch of fox hounds I got.
Old ring and old tige and old rover,
and went when we head out across them Georgia hills
it sounds something like this...."

Blackfoot folks.

SKYNYRD is the best.

Allmans began the gnere, and there is a great CMT show on Southern Rock which goes back to the days of the Allmans and the beginings, and it is very well done.

As for the others: Blackfoot was my other favorite, followed by Molly Hatchet and The Outlaws.


Anyone who saw Blackfoot in the 1980s saw one of the most intense performers ever: Ricky Medlocke just KICKED ASS! He was insane! He's great to watch now, but back then......WOW!

I saw them OPEN for Ted Nugent once and I also saw them HEADLINE with Def Leppard (yes indeed!) as support!

W/O a doubt they, and tunes like HIGHWAY SONG, and TRAIN TRAIN should be in the top 10, let alone top 20 of this list!!

Allman Bros definitely were the best, IMO. Such a well rounded diverse band that drew from many styles., Then Outlaws and Skynyrd in no particular order, and what about Little Feat? If you haven't heard it the Allman Bros last album, Hitting the Note is an incredible album, you want to talk about 2 great guitarists, they don't get much better than Haynes and Trucks.

ZZ Top is my fav but mad props to Skynard, Gaines and King especially.

Lately (last 15 years) I like The Black Crowes :-)

[wulfe13]

Skynyrd and now Shinedown is moving up the ladder, they kick ass!!!

I'd have to say Black Crowes are the WORST! I never understood how the hell they made it!
