Although a rather atypical Southern fried rock band ABB does it for me
 
atypical because they were definitely more blues-based than the rest of the bands mentioned in the list >> most of those had strong Copuntry roots which is really a turn off for me
 
ABB, but Skynyrd is a distant second >> first album is fantastic, but the rest is still good or acceptable.
 
groups like MTB or CDB give me the heavesDead
 
 
Ps: I do not consider ZZ Top (which I love) as Southern Rock

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Allman Brothers, but just over Molly Hatchet.

Being from Georgia, I've grown up with Southern Rock and in some ways I'm sick of it. However, LS' "Gimme Three Steps" and ABB's "Statesboro Blues" will always be on my playlist.
I'd say Lynyrd Skynyrd, but ABB is close behind and they are hands down the best Southern band currently touring. Derek Trucks is every bit as talented as Duane, he just isn't as influential. ZZ Top is another one of my favorites: Billy Gibbons is one of my favorite guitarists. I also like Blackfoot, CDB, Dixie Dregs, and Black Crowes

Allman's a great player
Skynyrd's overrated far too much
 
Molly Hatchet- God's gift to southern rock
 
still dig the black crowes though

Not a big fan of southern rock. But the Allman Brothers are the best, no doubt, and a great band regardless.

Y'all forgot about the Drive-By Truckers ... heck, they even put out an album called " A Southern Rock Opera" which was divided in two acts ! So you could almost argue that they are actually southern prog rock Big%20smile

For those of you who are actually interested, a friend of mine (who likes them , but is not a fan like I am) said they sounded like Neil Young's Crazy Horse with Don Henley singing after a whiskey bender. But I love 'em.

I can't decide between Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet, or the Outlaws. Too tough of a choice.

Little Feat.  Some damn rhythm section and the rest of the band were not exactly slouches.  Good songs and their own unique style, too.
Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia. We'll make you an offer you can't listen to.

Allman Bros. Band.

But there's no Gov't Mule!  True, they class themselves as a JamBand, but they have that Southern Rock spirit and Warren Haynes is a member of The Allman Brothers Band too.

I don't consider the Allman Bros. Band to be southern Rock. Sure, they were in the South, but they don't have a typical Southern Rock sound. They're closer to blues rock than Southern Rock.

ZZ Top is blues rock, no question.

I like most of the bands on there btw, so I don't detest southern rock.

I'll say ABB just because they're one of the best bands ever.

The Allman Brothers Band for sure. The 23 minute jam of Whipping Post on Live at Filmore East is simply stunning.

Ditto here.

By the way, The Presidents of the USA re great band. i know they are from Pacific northwest, but somehow they sound quite "southern" to me. The best rock band of 90's!

A question for you rockologists:  Do you know if there is (was) any southern-rock musician of African-American ethnicity?
Percussion, sir!
