Metal versus Rock 5: Southern Rock
When I started putting together my list of top ten favorite hard rock songs I ran into a problem. I had a lot more than ten. However, I found a couple of ways to 'expand' my list creatively. For one, I took out all the songs from my original list that could also be categorized as "Southern Rock," and put them on a separate list. So, here we have my top five favorite Southern Rock songs, all of which also fit generally within the Hard Rock genre.

I confess Southern Rock is just something I never got into.
Can't argue much with that list, though I'd probably thrown in an Allman Brothers tune.
These are definitely the most accessible of the songs you have been playing. I hear words now.
Alex, I suppose I can forgive you,
Ty, they definitely had some good stuff.
Patti, lol. It's the southern drawl thing, maybe. :)
No Jimi? No Grand Funk? No Credence? How do we narrow it down? We live(d) the greatest times in rock!
ALOHA from Honolulu
Comfort Spiral
=^..^= <3
Cloudia, I liked all those, especially Jimmi and Creedence, but I could only allow myself five and these are my favorites. Run through the Jungle and All along the watchtower are way up there, though.
What,
You missed Tony Joe White,
"Down in Louisiana
Where the gators grow so mean..." :)
skynyrd!!!!!!! freebird!!!!!! ha
cool...i dont know texas hippie....i need to take a listen....
Ivan, I don't even know who that is.
Brian, Texas Hippie Coalition is pretty new but they have some great stuff.
Charles, I'm going to have to look anew at Hard Rock. I can see that I have missed a lot. Like books and movies, I'm open to all kinds of music.
The Texas Hippies are new to me... I figured all Texas hippies had moved out of state. I would have to add the Allman Brothers and Marshall Tucker. It is interesting to see your musical interests
I have a lot of ZZ Top, and
Lynyrd Skynyrd. I'll have to expand a bit. :)
Would you consider the Black Crows Southern Rock?
Charles-I love southern rock. Years ago I hung out with Henry Weck, the drummer in Blackfoot.
Yeahdawg, I can go with this list,for sure. Southern Rock was very big in Tar Heel Land in the 1970s and early 1980s especially.
