Best Southern Rock Band (excluding Skynard} ?
- Thread starter AttillaTheDog
- Start date
Allman Bros, unless you consider them too bluesy to be southern rock
One thing I learned in the AF, Texans believe ZZ Top is better than Skynyrd. Dumbasses.
Hard to say. There’s so many that contributed to that sub genre
The Outlaws
Allman Brothers
.38 Special
Molly Hatchet
Marshall Tucker

Most underrated band of all time, they didn't make bad music. Melissa has to be in the conversation of best song ever.
Love Green Grass and High Tides, but their catalog gets thin after that.
Allman Bros end of conversation. I still like listening to Warren Haynes and Govt Mule play their old stuff
Bands that have carried on the genre
Black Crowes
Govt Mule
Kings of Leon (their older stuff for sure)
Drive by Truckers

I think Molly Hatchet was even better than Skynard. Marshall Tucker Band, The Outlaws & 38 Special are also on the list.
They ain’t southern rock but they are country rock and I expect a certain gif to be posted here in response…

Channelling my inner Geoff Collins, I would have to go with 1A Skynard and 1B The Allman Brothers. There was a LOT of musical talent (especially guitarists) in those two bands. A distant 3rd and you flip a coin between ZZ Top and 38 Special.
Marshall Tucker is my favorite of the old guard southern bands from the 70's, followed closely by Blackfoot.
BLACK OAK ARKANSAS!
Number 1 with a bullet!!!

current best that is carrying the banner has to be Blackberry Smoke
I thought Hurry Sundown was good as well but agree, not a lot to pick from.
Gotta be the Allman Brothers, basically invented the genre.
I had to put Almon Brothers in there, but they played too many blues. They are great.
You have to put them in the list of the best bands of all time.
The number one band for pure Southern rock is probably Molly Hatchet; everybody else after that.
