All of it is great party music. Makes for good road music, as well.

As for the "white trash" comment... Most of the "white trash" I know listen to rap and hip-hop and drive around neighborhoods in boom-boom cars that annoy the hell out of everyone.

:thumbsup:

You act like there's something wrong with being "White Trash" I say embrace the Trash in you!

The Allman Brothers, especially early Allman Brothers, is some of the best Rock N Roll ever IMO. In one of Eric Clapton's most famous songs, Layla, Duane Allman blows Clapton away with his Slide Guitar work!

Duane Allman pretty much outplays Clapton on the entire Derrek and the Dominoes album. I read that they inspired each other to play better and better, as they kept trying to outdo each other in the studio.

That's funny, I read they were never in the studio at the same time when the album was being made.

not a big southern rock fan, but I do like the more modern southern/metal sound like Down & COC

Not unless southern UK counts as southern rock.

I'd call their early sound more 'blue collar' (kind of like a Bachman Turner Overdrive) than southern, although the two do have that nice raw edge to them. Mark Knopfler (the lead singer/guitarist) obviously had an affinity for the laid-back southern sound though. I've got a duet CD that he made with Chet Atkins (amazing country guitarist) that's got some fantastic guitar work on it.

Southern rock may be where its at. I saw Skynyrd out in Stillwater, MN and it was a great concert. But I guess it can't compare to those sweet rap concerts.

Wow, they're from the UK? I guess you learn something new everyday. :beer: Parrotheader!

Kicks ass? I think you mean sucks ass!

CCR and The Allman Bros. were two big influences for me. They were masters of riffing and really underated if you ask me.

FREEBIRD!!!!! woot! *smashes another budweiser down*

ooh oooh oooh that smell, the smell of death's around you! :|

I used to think CCR was Southern Rock, like others posted, they certainly seem like it without knowing the details. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers also remind me of Southern Rock, but I believe they aren't technically.

At anyrate, I gotta say some very good Rock has come from the South. Though I must say that ZZ Top got really old really fast.

 

[mordantmonkey]

:thumbsup: mussel shoals (sp?) rock.

I think Tom Petty's from the Panhandle or northern Florida area. That still qualifies as Southern IMO. Once you get south of roughly Gainesville it's not really Southern as much as it is 'southern New York.'

I'm not doing it to be a dick deliberately, but I hate every group so far mentioned in the first few posts. All quite awful.

I think we'd get along just fine.

I like Stevie Ray Vaughan but that is more Texas Blues-Rock.

I actually saw him in concert. :thumbsup:

He opened for Robert Plant and absolutely blew Plant away.

I saw him 2 weeks before he died. He steped out on stage with Eric Clapton in Detroit. I still have that ticket stub...now THAT was a show!

Ah that makes sense. I always thought he and his band were from some othe God forsaken place, like Indiana.

Bob Sger also has some great stuff.

 

[LordMorpheus]

I love the Allman Bros. Skynard is good, too.

Alabama rocks.
