Which band, in your mind, are the definitive Southern Rock band? Who embodies the sound the most? Is it the Allman Brothers? Skynyrd?

Those are the two titans of the genre, but do you think another band deserves the title? Who has your vote?

It has to be Skynyrd. Allman Brothers have a jam bland bent that makes them less "definitive" as southern rock.

They started playing together well before the Allman brothers band.

Lynyrd Skynyrd

I tend to think ABB birthed it, but LS defines the genre.

Sub question… do you think .38 Special is a true blue Southern Rock band or are they more in the vein of bands like Toto or REO?

At one point I would say Lynyrd Skynyrd, but recently I came across Katie Noel and although she certainly isn’t as big (yet) of LS she has that special touch where I think she better represents the definitive southern band.

Skynyrd and it ain’t even close.

But the LACS are actually pretty good if you haven’t given them a listen.

See, in my opinion, I never really considered ZZ Top to be a Southern Rock band. I’ve always thought of them as Texas Blues rock, and then they went into more pop rock territory in the 80’s, but they always kept that blues influence going at one level or another. They’re similar in certain ways to Skynyrd, and the fan bases are very entwined I think (I’m a big fan of both).
