No way man, Caught Up in You, and Hold on Losely are fricking southern rock classics.

Flirtin with Disaster is the type of bullshite you hear at state fairs and bullriding events

How has no one mentioned Kid Rock yet? Probably the best southern rock of the modern era

This brings up a good question. What defines a Southern Rock band? Do they have to be from the southern U.S., or is defined by the music they play?

Bands like The Band and Little Feat are not from the South, but I think an argument can be made that they play in the genre of Southern Rock, particularly Little Feat. The Band would probably fall more into Americana (whatever that is, lol).

Kid Rock is about as southern rock as Creed. If anything, he's alternative modern country.

CCR, stylistically speaking, is nothing like the bands that came out of Jacksonville and Tampa.

Yes I have...I saw Molly Hatchet play that song and many others at a State Fair in Wyoming. Worst Show I have ever been too...The band just isn't that good. Even the Georgia Satellites are better than them, but I didn't include them since they are more 2nd wave Southern Rock

Thank you for respecting the subject line of the original post.

What year did you see Molly Hatchet?

2008, I think.

But my dad saw them with me, and he saw them in Baton Rouge way back when they were popular and he said it wasn't much better
