The majority of the bands you listed are not part of the first generation of southern rock.

4. Gov't Mule - They're southern and they're rock; I'm just not sure if they're southern rock.


Of course they're southern rock. Warren was a member of ABB and the majority of their songs adhere to the southern rock ethos.

quote:

ZZ Top isn't even SR in my opinion. Definitely not southern and more blues than rock


So Texas isn't part of the South?

They certainly are very bluesy, but songs like "Tush", "La Grange", and "Beerdrinkers and Hellraisers" are definitely part of the southern rock catalog.

Then you should have defined what you meant by 1st generation. If you're going to limit the list to bands from the 60's & 70's then there's only one band on it.

No.
