Does Southern Rock belong in here?

HELL YEAH IT DOES!!!!!!

I've been on a wicked LYNYRD SKYNYRD kick for the last two weeks! They are my favorite band in this genre, but I like all of that stuff! I must have the redneck gene somewhere in my DNA!

So, who's with me? Post your faves and thoughts and let's get DIXIE FRIED!

PLAY FREEBIRD!!!!!!

You can 38 Special and Georgia Satellites . . . Don't give me no lies and keep your hands to yourself!!

Lynard Skynard is something ive only recently gotten into thanks to my wife

If it weren't for bands like Skynyrd & Blackfoot, bands like Orange Goblin & Dixie Witch would not be what they are...

Woot!

I love Southern Rock. I wish there was more of it actually..

I just got turned onto The Rossington Collins Band's "Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere"..
:affraid:

THAT RECORD SLAYS! I had no idea that was the first record from most of
the survivors of the big plane crash..

I scored it on vinyl for $2 -- SWEET!

I'm sure some of you are familiar with Martin Popoff, the predominantly,
metal writer. Well, he put out a book of reviews covering Southern Rock.
It's pretty good for finding out about those obscure Southern Rock
bands..

One of the newer bands carrying the torch is the band Drive By Truckers.
They're pretty killer. Check out their cd "Southern Rock Opera" ..

The Outlaws are playing around soon.. maybe I should go..

SHALOM!
Judah

Freebird and Sweet Home Alabama

I haven't heard that stuff, but I would very much like to!

Let's see, so far I like:

ALLMAN BROS.
ATLANTA RHYTHM SECTION
BLACKFOOT
CHARLIE DANIELS BAND
LYNYRD SKYNYRD
MARSHALL TUCKER BAND
MOLLY HATCHET
THE OUTLAWS
OZARK MOUNTAIN DAREDEVILS
PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE
38 SPECIAL

LOVE Skynyrd!

Favorite tunes:

Gimme Back My Bullets
On The Hunt
Simple Man


And of course, Skynyrd had some beautiful ballads, like

Freebird
All I Can Do Is Write About It
Tuesday's Gone

Why not? Skynyrd is great at it.

The best at it, as far as I'm concerned.

I agree. If the entire southern rock movement suddenly evaporated and
all we were left with was Skynyrd and the Allmans, I'd still be happy
as a bee! (though a few bands short ...)

I forgot that one! Good call!

The Outlaws - Green Grass and High Tides

Quite possibly my favorite song in this genre and an all time favorite song in ANY genre!

The Outlaws are pretty cool. I only have their first with that song
on it. It's pretty good. I was gonna go see them last week and didn't
get to go..

You should check out ROSSINGTON-COLLINS BAND. Their first album,
Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere is pretty killer. Actually, I was pretty
blown away by it. But the singer is a gal named Dale Krantz. and
she has such an awesome voice. It's really great to hear a lady
frontin' a good southern rock band..

And the CHARLIE DANIELS BAND are one of my faves. Especially
the earlier albums. I have FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN, MIDNIGHT
WIND and MILLION MILE RELFLECTIONS on vinyl. I still need
to track down HONEY IN THE ROCK, NIGHTRIDER, SADDLE TRAMP.

I was sorely dissapointed by MILLION MILE REFLECTIONS. The
production is pretty horrible and slick sounding. but, I like
The Devil Went Down To Georgia and Blind Man from that record..

Going to a record show tomorrow (ah, nothing but vinyl!!) so, maybe
I'll track down those records I'm lookin' for..

Growing up in rural Missouri, and spending copious time in Southern Louisiana, I have a bit of an attitude about/prejudice against anything I consider to be "redneck music" (i.e. country, southern rock, some hair metal, etc.), but I have to admit being a total fan of the guitar tandem of Collins/Rossington/Gaines. Lynyrd Skynyrd were simply great songwriters...though I totally abhor the very concept of the band existing in any fashion post-crash.


)+(

LS rules. Like me some Charlie Daniels once in awhile. Allmans of course.
Black Crowes owe there lives to the genre.
Novemberadio has a little south rock sound.

Stillwater
Blue Steel
Commander Cody & The Lost Planet Airmen
Henry Paul Band
Alligator Stew
Ruby Starr, she has southern influences.
Missouri
Montana


Wargod48

Cool! I been here two days and I get to plug my favorite Southern bands twice already!

Hydra-Land of Money
Point Blank-(first two albums)
Ultra- s/t

and bands that helped the transition from early hard rock to full blown southern rock happen...

Alamo-s/t
Nitzinger-s/t
Demain-s/t
Roky Erickson

So many good points here I hardly know where to begin, so I'll begin where the thread did, Skynyrd! The greatest Southern Rock Band ever! I rank Allman Brothers even higher but prefer their Blues side more! Sooo my other favs of the Genre:

ZZ Top
Blackfoot
Black Oak Arkansas
Molly Hatchett
Outlaws
early CDB
Rossington Collins Band
and to a lesser extent many more


And even during the Hair Metal craze of the 80's we had:

ZZ Top (again)
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Georgia Satelights
Black Crowes

And as others had pointed out Doom's bastard cousin Stoner owes alot to Southern Rock! Just listen to:

Dixie Witch
Artimus Piledriver
Alabama Thunderpussy
HalfWay to Gone
And before all of them COC

I'll end with 2 Southern(Ohio) Biker Blues Bands that any fan of this Genre should check out!

From the 70's: The Godz
Current: American Dog
