I live in the south - I don't particularly like southern rock any more than any other rock. I'd rather listen to Rush than southern rock.

But Freebird is still the #1 southern rock anthem, like or don't. Is what it is, mane.


REM is from Georgia, but that doesn't make them southern rock. They're alternative, just like most of their fans...and the B52's are, well, ya know. ~Rock Lobster~ YaY!!! [jester]

Come on guys....the original Southern rock band....The Allman Brothers....Whipping Post
From: 'The Allman Brothers Band' (1969)
 
 
The highlight of the band's debut album (which it closes), 'Whipping Post' sounds like an old blues number. But Gregg was barely in his twenties when he wrote it. It's one of the band's most beloved and legendary songs. You can go with the lean five-minute studio version on thier debut album (1969),but you can substitute it for the 23-minute live centerpiece from 'At Fillmore East.' Either way, it's the definitive Allman Brothers Band song: a muscular slab of southern rock wrapped in myth, sweat and solos.

Actually, this thread is really a trick question.

The answer, of course, is Won't Get Fooled Again by The Who.


If you can't hear the southern twang in Roger's voice, then you ain't listening son.

They were from Southern England (i.e. Greater London area) and toured with Lynyrd Skynyrd. I would also like to add "That'll Be the Day" by Buddy Holly

Uuhhm.....yeah...I know. It's called sarcasm. I'd rather listen to cats f*cking than listen to "Freebird" or just about anything from Skynyrd. Not a bad band...just sick to death of everything that gets played on the radio...which I also don't listen to anymore.



I WAS serious about the Radiators. Great live band from New Orleans. Look em up.

They are definitely a GREAT band. I love their live stuff much better than the studio recordings though...but maybe that's just me.

You can download a bunch of their live stuff for free at the Archive.org site:

I believe that was Dan Tyminski of Union Station and it's a traditional bluegrass tune. Great song.
