Best Southern Rock Band Of All Time Is...

[Davidson Deac II]

Probably not the best, but I liked a band named Black Oak Arkansas when I was younger.  Never hear them on the radio these days though. 

[PanthaSan]

Lucero.

 

Yeah, they are kinda considered as Hillbilly but I think they represent the southern rock sound nicely.

[Mol3m4n]

When people think of tacos they think of Taco Bell, that doesn't make them the best.

I said back when this thread was new that Skynyrd are among the top but Id easily place them as low as 5 and no higher than third.

Allman Brothers are the top.

then its some combination of

.38 Special

Molly Hatchet

Skynard

Marshal Tucker

And I disagree.

[Inimicus]

And I disagree.

 

And I can respect that.

The correct answer is The Allman Brothers.

 

But I did see Black Oak in April 1974 at the original California Jam..... "Jim Dandy!"

 

[Pejorative Miscreant]

Didn't see it mentioned but 38 Special was a very good band. Did a lot for bringing southern rock forward in the 70s and 80s.

George Hatcher band

[Herbert is Sorry]

Never counted CCR as Southern Rock Band

Allman Brothers were the ground breakers

Lynyrd Skynyrd took it to the top.

Honorable mentions are

CDB

Marshall Tucker Band

ZZ Top

Everyone else are wanna be's

What about Charlie Daniels Band, The Eagle or Doobie Brothers.

I think most of them suck. I'm more into the the old school country and hippie music. I liked Little Feat a lot though

CDB = Charlie Daniels Band

 

Eagles like CCR are not southern rock

 

Little Feat, yes, sort of, although they had little airplay

 

[heel31ok]

Skynyrd, Allman Bros, then all the rest.
