Southern Canada, maybe?

 

I seriously can't think of one tune that sounds even close to Southern Rock.

 

Here is a cool new Southern(ish) band:

I must know who else voted for .38 Special because you're awesome.

I am. Thanks

 

I would have to say Bob Seger fits in this category as well.

Ahem, I'd like to throw in Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble and The Black Crowes.

I voted for CCR. I loves me some John Fogarty

Southern Canada, maybe?

 

If You Want To Get To Heaven is on a few Top 25 Southern Rock Tune lists.

Maybe, but one song doesn't make a band Southern Rock. "Hold On Losely" then would mean that .38 Special is a Pop band.

CCR

 

You can never get tired of listening to their music. Out of so many singles they have I can’t say I have a favorite. All of them struck a chord when they are played

I don't consider CCR a Southern Rock band, really.

 

I'm just the second vote for the Brothers Allman? Hmmm.

Southern Rock? Limp Bizkit.

 

Incorrect. Limp Bizkit spent several years chewing Faith No More's worn jock. They were no more southern than they were good.

 

PS. George Thorogood = southern rock. Period.

The Band deserves more respect in this poll, as do the Allman Brothers. They put Skynard to shame..

Way too many bands here that ought not be.

 

Eagles are California Rock/Country/Folk. And the one song that maybe has a sound that could put them in the category for a brief moment wasn't even mentioned. Seven Bridges Road. For shame, Tex. . .

 

The Band and CCR aren't southern rock, thoug they have country and bluesy southern influences to be sure.

 

Bog Seger?!!?!! The man is from Detroit and the music is very much working class Midwest Roots Rock.

 

All of that I can forgive. What I can't abide is the lack of any mention whatsoever of Steve Morse or the Dixie Dregs. A Steve Morse guitar solo is orders of magnitude more interesting than the same lick repeated 35 times ala most Rossington and Collins solos.

 

If you are not familiar with them, limewire up some Dregs and you will be amazed.

Thorogood, IMO, is a strange mixed up breed of Rockabilly and Boogie. I don't consider him Southern Rock, no matter how many mulleted rednecks love him.

They were each considered southern rock in a Rock 'n Roll class I took last semester, so I've considered them that.

The choice was Shania Twain or Limp Bizkit, I'll take Limp Bizkit

Cowboy Mouth!!!

 

Nice call! I've seen them live a few times. Excellent band.

 

 

Who the hell is The Band?

 

Someone mentioned Molly Hatchett. Flirtin with Disaster was a solid contribution. Would April Wine fit? I know I would know many of their songs, but off the top of my head I can only think of Just Between You and Me.

 

What about Little River Band? Thoughts on where they fit??

Who the hell is The Band?

 

 

The Band

 

I had to tell my wife who they were too. But then again, musically speaking she lives in a cave.

Who the hell is The Band?

 

Only the authors of one of the finest rock concert movies/albums ever, The Last Waltz.

Just because you're not from the South, doesn't mean you can't sing it.

Who's more Southern, Limp Bizkit from Jacksonville or Shania Twain from Canada?

 

 

What if you ARE from the south, but don't sing it. REM anyone?

I'll take Shania Twain.

Then again, coming out of Athens is very different than coming out of anywhere else in Georgia. I don't think the B-52s are making any of the southern rock hall of fame lists either.

Whoa boap boap yeah!

I'll take Shania Twain.

 

As an example of Southern Rock??

 

I always thought of Southern Rock as being well, rock. Loud and obnoxious like the General Lee with the Dukes boys jumpin' out the windows. Blaring out of open truck windows by guys with Confederate battle flag bumper stickers. I don't hear Eagles, Little River Band, etc. To me, Sweet Home Alabama is the quintessential southern rock tune. Gives an old man a tear in his eye and young guys an excuse to re fight the civil war.

 

 

I've been listening to Urge's Southern Rock station and hearing a lot of Dylan as well. And Charlie Daniels, when he was good.

I'd say ABB in a landslide, but it's almost entirely due to the bootlegs. Some of their studio stuff is terrific, but you can't ignore all of the classic jamming sessions (Idlewild South Outtakes, Gatlinburg Tapes) and legendary concerts (Atlanta 1970, Stonybrook 1970, etc).

Charlie Daniels is about the only country music I have ever listened too. He actually is a really nice guy in person. I met him at a county fair show a few years back.

Well Texsox likes both kinds of music, Country and Western(1). Country was invented in the good ol' US of A. It isn't some hippy dippy liberal banging banging long haired jungle music Britain invention( 2). That makes Texsox an American and makes you, makes you, well it makes you a fan of far out!(3)
