That is was easy. Skynyrd of coarse.

But I am also partial to Molly Hatchet. They were fro the area. Used to party with the guys when they were just hitting it big. Late 79-82 period right after high school. Did things I had to lie to my kids about, but would'nt give up the memories for anything!

Great band.
Own most of their stuff, Tuesday's gone is good, and the ballad of Curtis Lowe is great by them.
Oh, and FREEBIRD is the official song of our town I think...

One of the FEW modern Southern aces:

Best southern rock??? That’s an oxymoron isn’t? Just play with you all.
Giving the choices so far, and the time era (70’s), my vote goes for the Bay Area, southern style, CCR.
Remove the geographic barrier but keep the era; Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, AC/DC, Stones, Yes, Eagles, Ramones, Cars, Foreigner, Peters Frampton, Blondie…

Got to go with some of these southern groups (my favs), John...still feel that CCR broke the gound, and are heads above the rest. IMO

.38 special!!! I don't call it southern rock though...red neck rock! I had a pool party last night had the margarita machine fired up ice cold beer ipod in the back ground rocking, then someone axed "who is that" I bout had a stroke...not southern..eeer red neck rock, but it was Van Halen...are you kidding me?

Iam just going to big up a band called Black Stone Cherry their from Kentucky .Formed in 2001 , they may not be the best or quite as old as Lynyrd Skynryd but i saw them live last year and they rocked , Duff Mcagan and the Palour Mob did the support. There were alot of younger people in the crowd it was a good gig . Support the younger bands theres some gooduns out there .

My vote goes to INXS.

They are from Australia and that's waaaay down south. :hurray:

CDB, Marshall Tucker, Hatchet, Blackfoot, Dickey Betts, .38 Special, Outlaws, CCR, Allman Bros, Winters Brothers (from Tenn. Dennis & Donnie - not Johnny & Edgar). all great bands..and lucky enough to see most of them... but if you ever got to see Allen Collins on lead guitar and Ronnie on vocals - Skynyrd has to win hands down :bow:

Nobody probably remembers Black Oak Arkansas,they didn't last long.

Great bands listed in this thread....a local band here made it big for a short while in the late '70s and early 80's, Nantucket.

Lord have mercy on my sole...have it on my ipod!

Allman Brothers. Molly Hatchet,Lynard, Marshall Tucker. Just saw Greg Allman a couple months ago and he still sings as good as he did in the 70's.

What about Tom Petty? He has a new album due out already too.

All you guys are naming the obvious but no one is talking about one of the greatest multiple guitar rock songs ever ...... SHAME !

Creedance/thread lol

Corrosion of Conformity is from down south- North Carolina.
they are what happens when southern rock mixes with heavy metal.

Lord have mercy on my sole...have it on my ipod!

I have a friend (Mike Scrima) who bought Black Oaks mountain hideaway on Bull Shoals lake,near Oakland,he turned it into a fishing resort.The pool stilll had the band logo on the bottom when he bought the place,he had to blast it off or they wanted him to pay for it because it was a registered tradmark for the band,somewhere I have a photo of it.

Give me some Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams JR. music anyday.:beers:

Hey REDFOX , I like this one , he was 1 of 1 !!

And my favorite old video of Waylon,he gets tickled at the end at the guitar player,vintage string benders...Checkout the Babe keyboard player....... his future wife Jesse ....and the trademark WOOP WOOP
YouTube- Waylon Jennings - Only Daddy That'll Walk The Line

sorry waylon isnt southern rock

I agree but after REDFOX has spent so much time posting car pic's...let's give him this one....Buddy Holly who Waylon played with many years ago was probably a footstool for this...Ok now......Southern Rock...........Skynrd I think is best !!!!!
I think this a good cruisin' song with air blowing the the 69 !!! :thumbsup:
