Southern Rock
 

Listening to a lot of back to my roots music these days

See, I wouldn't consider Mountain 'Southern Rock'. Maybe they are but not to me.

THESE are the Southern Rock "must listen to's":

Lynyrd Skynyrd
The Allman Brothers Band
The Outlaws
The Marshall Tucker Band

Listen to ANY of the above band's first 5 albums and there ya go, Southern Rock Heaven. :)

don't be a debbie downer.

Sure you can nitpick whether or not a song about a mississippi queen that references at least a couple southern cities and has all the sounds and such of southern rock but is played by a band from NY is southern rock or not,

or have a bit of fun

Besides, your thinking doesn't really make sense. That's akin to saying a rapper from houston is country and western because he's from Texas.

dang, they sound fantastic in this video!

ccr.. dig it..

hah, very southern rock and from San Francisco!

Great thread. :)

Where did I mention where Mountain is FROM?

Debbie Downer please. I listed 4 amazing Southern Rock bands yo.

I said Mountain isn't Southern Rock to ME (maybe they are, I also said...) because they do not SOUND like Southern Rock.

You probably think Creedence Clearwater Revival are 'Southern Rock' too because they mention the Mississippi in a song. LOL


Yep thought so. LOL

go away man, you got bad vibe.

Have to agree with ya there.

Molly Hatchet anyone.......

FTR wiki lists ccr as a definitive southern rock band

I think Molly and .38 special were my 2 favorites growing up in Texas in the 70s listening to this genre

Love me some good southern rock.

Here's some great northern (Canadian) southern rock. :thumbsup

this one brings back some memories!

Yes, a Wikipedia entry that other people can alter and claim as 'fact'. LOL

I will go away man because I will not argue music with someone who thinks Mountain and CCR are 'southern rock'. They are 'classic rock'.

Basically, no 'twang' equals no southern or country rock (and there's a differance there, too - Buffalo Springfield or Gram Parsons anyone?).

Whatever man, have fun and rock out. :)

thanks!!!!

now that that's cleared up, I can put some ZZ top in here!

yeah man, its all about the style. Who cares about area codes.

You may be the only person that I can recall that has ever mentioned blackfoot!! I wore that record out listening to it back in middle school. Good times. :thumbsup:thumbsup

right on! I'm not sure why, maybe it's just where I grew up but radio played a lot more .38 special, blackfoot, molly, as I recall, than skynryd and allman, etc. Those are the heavy hitters, certainly.

Some 90's harder edged southern rock:

I'm not sure how I missed these guys growing up but apparently I did! :1orglaugh

One of my favorite Southern Rock bands you've never heard of..

Holy crap! Thought I was the only one in the world who knew of these guys!

as far as the heavy southern rock hitters go, it's the MArshall Tucker Band for me

Just try and not be happy listening to this!

Haha me too. Shame they never made it bigger. They rocked. Guitarist and vocalist were awesome.

They put out a second album. I have it. It's good, but not as good as the first.

I got a bunch of these queued up, I haven't heard them before!

haha I had that poster on my bedroom wall in my parent's house :1orglaugh

I saw Point Blank open for Deep Purple in the mid-70's. :GFYBand

Funny thing was they both performed "Highway Star", but I was too fucked up at the time to remember which one did it better :stoned

Zakk Wylde's band before Black Label.

Ya I have the second one too. Agreed it's not as good. The first one is classic.

And no one's mentioned Jackyl yet?

I'll truly be shocked if anyone's heard of this..

hah, when I saw what track this is I had to bump it to the front, killer!


I'm a new Zakk Wylde fan, as of the last few months, the dude WAILS on guitar!

No southern rock thread's complete without the 'missing link' - Steve Earle.





Saw him at the Diamond Club in Toronto for the Guitar Town tour (before he got all fucked up).

Amazing show that night.

This is my fave classic southern rock song:



Not well known but was a big radio song:

My fave Outlaw track:

Now THIS is REAL Southern Rock
