Hi Timothy, Lynard Skynard and The Allman Brothers Band, are two of my favourites.
Timothy V. Dec 8, 2006, 3:43am EST
Terry..So how do you know about those bands over there in the UK ? lol

Thanks for your comment.
Shaunee C. Dec 8, 2006, 4:05am EST
wow there are a lot of good groups you named Lynard Skynard, The Black Crows,Black Foot,38 Special. These are excellent groups.
Debbie H. Dec 8, 2006, 6:06am EST
My favorite is 38 Special!!!!
Wendy HUSSEIN R. Dec 8, 2006, 6:44am EST
As a rule, I hate southern rock. But the Allman Brothers are the greatest!
What happened to your old icon?
John S. Dec 8, 2006, 8:18am EST
Try out Clutch, particularly material from their albums Blast Tyrant or Exodus. They're "southern" but full of blues and groove.
Jody Says Dec 8, 2006, 8:30am EST
Skynyrd, and Marshall tucker, btw I have seen most of these bands live.
John S. (arizona) Dec 8, 2006, 9:48am EST
I'd have to go with the Allman Brothers. They are in my time zone, ha ha.
Think I'll go eat a Peach....?
vickey w Dec 8, 2006, 10:18am EST
I think Lynard Skynard would be my choice
Timothy V. Dec 8, 2006, 1:09pm EST
That's spelled Lynyrd Skynyrd. lol
Μόףףý ● ķ ~ Dec 8, 2006, 1:13pm EST
Hmm, am I allowed to like all of them?
Timothy V. Dec 9, 2006, 1:48am EST
Sure Moggy !
Webduck * Dec 9, 2006, 4:15am EST
Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, and Marshall Tucker. And, Charlie Daniels. Oh, and Wet Willie.
Timothy V. Dec 9, 2006, 4:31am EST
Webduck...Great additions to the list ! Charlie Daniels and Wet Willie !
Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchett and Creedence
Timothy V. Dec 10, 2006, 3:45am EST
Krissy...Damn, I left CCR off the list. " Midnight Special " is my favotite CCR song.

You spelled Lynyrd Skynyrd correctly, and I mis-spelled Molly Hatchett ! lol
Kathleen ♥ L. Dec 10, 2006, 4:13am EST
Hmmm, Southern Culture on the Skids; my favs are Camel Walk, and Trailer Park Romance :)
Then there's ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, CCR.
Timothy V. Dec 10, 2006, 9:44pm EST
Damn. I forgot about Ram Jam

"Woa black betty bam alam "

That little guitar solo/run in the middle of that song is a bitch to play !
Timothy V. Dec 10, 2006, 9:49pm EST
I'll have to check those guys out Auntie.
Auntie Smedley Dec 10, 2006, 9:49pm EST
I'm going more contemporary and am writing in Slobberbone and the Drive By Truckers on my ballot.

Of course, if it's one o' them newfangled electronic voting machines it won't be counted anyway...
Auntie Smedley Dec 10, 2006, 9:54pm EST
Oops - sorry I edited, Timothy, so now your comment is out of order.

Slobberbone was an odd but *very* cool southern rock group with dark humorous lyrics. The Drive By Truckers are still together. If you like southern country rock you definately should give them a listen.
Auntie Smedley Dec 10, 2006, 9:55pm EST
Wadaminnit... Where's Little Feat?!?
Timothy V. Dec 10, 2006, 10:27pm EST
What about the Screamin' Cheeta Wheelies ?
Timothy V. Dec 10, 2006, 10:29pm EST
Also " Three Doors Down ". Those boys are from Mississippi, right ?
Eric (Don't Tread On Me) Spindler Dec 11, 2006, 6:08am EST
YEAH...where's Little Feat???
Songs like 'Texas Twister' will get you on your 'feat', and "The Feelin's All Gone" will give you the anthem for jilted lovers...powerful lyrics and strong bass lines.

But....NOBODY remembers "The Outlaws"?????
If there was ever a band that worked four electric guitars to the max, THAT was THE southern rock band to see!...."Waterhole", "There Goes Another Love Song", "Green Grass and High Tides" are a few of their most familiar songs.
Shannon Harbaugh Dec 11, 2006, 11:55am EST
I love the music that came out of Athens, GA during the 80's - REM, Indigo Girls, Hothouse Flowers, etc. :)
Timothy V. Dec 11, 2006, 7:27pm EST
Eric and Auntie..Both Little Feat and the Outlaws were indeed greats.

Shannon....Great additions from you as well.
Timothy V. Dec 13, 2006, 1:27pm EST
Thanks for the additions Liz.
Joseph H. Dec 19, 2006, 4:52pm EST
Allman Brothers and Corrosion of Conformity. No 38 Special....yuk
Timothy V. Dec 19, 2006, 9:56pm EST
Joseph...38 Special was sort of a " Pop Southern Band ". I only included them because they are classified as Southern Rock.

I'm with you on the Allman Brothers.
John Ando Dec 31, 2008, 9:32pm EST
Hello,

You have a great list. I want to check out Brothers Cain and Government Mule.

I saw Jackyl in a small venue. They offered conversation and autographs after the show and were very gracious.

I also saw Molly Hatchet in a bar in 2001. The guitarists (one of the original members) was a heavy old guy but he played licks effortlessly and was the nicest guy ever. They, too, offered autographs after the show.

Check out www.allsouthernrock.com for new bands in the same genre. There is some very good stuff with the spirit of the 70s alive!

Thanks!

John
