Yep, Skynyrd all day. Maybe the Outlaws make a case to be mentioned.

Maybe, but there is no Allman Bros without T Bone Walker, Elmore James, Howlin Wolf, etc.

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


Interestingly enough, Allman Bros were more rooted in R&B, soul, some jazz influence and old school blues.....the sound that most of us identify as southern rock when thinking about the Allman Bros didn't crop up until the 1973 Brothers and Sisters album, after Duane and Barry had passed.

Think of this like funk. James Brown is the godfather of soul/funk. He was the originator.

George Clinton/Parliament-Funkadelic took it to another level.

James Brown = Allman Brothers
LS= PF
