Time to start a new thread, who is you favorite southern rock band.

Mine is ZZ Top
Favorite song Beer Drinkers Hell Rasiers

Lynyrd Skynyrd!!!

song: gimme 3 steps!

ZZ is great too!

hehehe............. Pearl Necklace!

I alway did love The Allmans, and Marshal Tucker Band

can you clarify "Southern"? i'm new here ...

hmmmmmmmm I guess Southern Rock was a genre popular in the '70 to late 80's, most bands came from the southern US ie texas, the southeast etc..

gotta be skynard.

the guitar in freebird

zz top is allright- thank you!

Dont forgit Molly Hatchet

I grew up practicing my drums to southern rock so it has a special place in my heart. Marshall Tuckers "Can't you see" is my next favorite song.
Best concert was at the Paramount Theater in Seattle it was the Outlaws opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd when Lynyrd was playing Freebird the 3 guitarists
from the Outlaws joined them on stage it was a religious experience.
I forgot to mention Johnny Winter (Rock and Roll huchie Coo)

saw the allman bros in nyc - they absolutely blew the doors off the concert hall! what a jam!



jbb

I think they mean "redneck"


cheers,

Jeroen

Edgar and Johny Winter are from my neck of the woods. Port Arthur, Texas. Janis Joplin too. They have a big b-day bash for her this weekend as a matter of fact. The Museum of the GUlf Coast has a replica of her 356, pretty cool.

Blackfoot and Donnie and Marie

I don't listen to music.


M

Did you mean the Blackfoot with Ricky Medlock playing lead quitar ?
That guy could shred !

Neal

Allman Brothers

ZZ. No better southern rock song than La Grange.

opps.

The Outlaws-"Green grass and high tides"

They were a Tampa band that made it.

Paul

ok, who has heard of....


THE BEAT FARMERS!!!!!!!!!

Dixie Dregs, I mean, someone here has to be a little ecle... eclec... different.


M

I think it's "highly" debatable as to wether or not ZZ is to be categorized as a "Southern Rock" band. They are one of the best Texas Blues Rock bands I've heard and frankly (or is that Frank Beardly) one of the best Blues Rock bands (and just plain ole best Rock bands) ever, but not a Southern Rock band (in my book) hence my vote goes with my fellow Michigander...

Allman Brothers.

Hard to beat that one...

Any one heard of "The Whitehoods"?
Big in the '50's and '60's, then they had to go underground.

Paul

Yea Dixie Dregs, I saw them a few times in a lil place in Amityville

Then there was thes Allman Bros, Grateful Dead thing at some racetrack.... Watkins Glen... yea thats it....

CDB

(Charlie Daniels Band)

Marshall Tucker....

I see Greg Allman occasionally, I'll mention the fans. (I won't say anything about our cars though.. heh)

So, Holly lives in Hialeah FL, and it's about 6pm, and there comes a thunderous crash, she runs outside to see Greg coming across the yard, bare feet, from what's left of a 87 vette parked where the telephone pole used to be. He lived there for a couple weeks.

Dickey likes my Les Pauls.

You can't get away from the Allmans, at least I can't.


M

the dregs are good!!

here's a southern band that rhox!!
REVEREND HORTON HEAT!!!!


saw them in lubbock a few years ago... they abso-fuckin-lutley rocked!!!

Allman Brothers-"Eat A Peach" so named because Duane Allman ran into the back of a peach truck on his scooter and was killed.

How about Sea Level.
Chuck Levell and who else from the Allmans?

Paul

Limp Biz-kit!!! Hey they're from Jackonville......For you Dixie Dregs guys, I met Steve Morrisey(sp?) and he's a really cool dude. He's a fellow pilot and owns and old Mexican military jet.

Hey man, Tattoo Bob did most of my stuff, when we'd play Macon, we'd eat at the Soup Kitchen, where they all used to eat, and then drive over to Rose Hill Cemetary to have drinks with Berry, and Duane, we'd play Melissa, and One Way Out, and when we'd get really lit up, I'd start screaming Whippin Post.

Sometimes I feel...

The Allmans were never better than at the Filmore.


M

Flat & Scruggs

southern rock

ZZ TOP, Manic Mechanic. Sea Level? you mean with Jimmy Nalls, Lamar Williams? Its time to retire to the garage and the stacks of old albums

Come listen to a story about a man named Jed.....poor Mountaineer, barely kept his family fed....then one day he was shootin' at sum fud and up come up, a bubblin' crude...oil dat is.....black gold.....Texas tea......

kin folk said, Jed move away from here, so they loaded up the truck, and moved to Beverly, Hills that is, swimin' pools, movie stars...

Crackheads!

The Beverly Hillbillies!

-banjo plays-

Joke: If you drop a banjo, and a mandolin from the Empire State Building, which one hits first?



M

























A:who cares?

Best southern rock band? Ummmm...how about anything put out by the banjo player in Deliverance? Squeeeeel like a pig.......

DUDES...

Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble -

I also partial to the musical stylings of "SCOTS" - Souther Culture On The Skids - with songs like "Fried Chicken and Gasoline" and "8 Piece Box"...

Oh yeah...

All you guys think electric blues and southern rock are the same thing?



CAR BUFFS!


M

Poison. 'nuff said.

I agree that some of these bands are not Southern Rock but because the south is blues and country based then all these bands are (Southern) rock/blues...etc
If it makes you want to run into a brick wall then it's southern rock...

Eric Wiseberg....the geetar picker was Marshal Brickman....or I may have that backwards...go figure.

Southern Rock makes you what to get a mullet cut, drink beer and always refer to your wife/girlfriend as "My ol' lady". Also, if your house has wheels under it, you're prob'ly a Southern Rock fan.

Paul

You mean if you keep your spare wheels in the basement?

Mike

Hey, Miles,

Did you know Greg Allman owns a big house over in Richmond Hill? No one has seen Cher though.

Mike

No one said anything about "38 SPECIAL"

Yeah.....there's a reason for that.....

the Amazing Rhythm Aces. i would add the Blasters but they prob don't count as southern.
