Best Southern Rock Band Of All Time Is...


Happy Panther

Agree to disagree.

Gainesville, FL... Rock... a CD titled "Southern Accents"

That is enough classification for me.

 

If that is what you base Southern Rock on....then you truly do not know anything about the genre.

 

Just because they were from a southern state, it does not make them Southern Rock.

 

I love TP...great music and fantastic songwriter.  But, Southern Rock is a specific genre.

Tom Petty is a bit of a grey area. His music has a lot in common with the bluesy music of pure southern rock bands like 38 special. Some of his music is southern rock while some is just pop. 

 

Much of .38 special music is just pop too but they are always on the southern rock list.

 

TP is close enough I think.

Phil Anselmo is probably one of the biggest knuckleheads ever (as evidenced by the rant GS posted), but I'd actually go with Down over Pantera... Simply for the fact that I think Down had a more "southern" sound... if that makes any sense...

Allman Brothers Band.

 

 

 

 

And with all due respect to Skynard, it aint even close.

 

Syknard is great.  Id never say otherwise.  But in the pantheon of Southern Rock they are mere titans to the Gods that are ABB.

 

If the whole band didn't die in a fiery plane crash in 1977, how great would LS have been I wonder...
