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

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.

So Texas isn't part of the South?

No.

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

Disagree

I would expect people to exercise their brains and determine that bands which emerged post-1990 obviously wouldn't be lumped in with those from the '70s.

Two decades difference is at least a generation apart, particularly in musical evolution.

How is Texas culturally not akin to the rest of the South?

I'll accept your disagreement if you can make a solid case for why ZZ Top's sound does not relate to southern rock. Their music is a derivative of blues and country, and both are considered influences of southern rock.
