I love Hotel California too.


There's more, but I'm sure I'll see what's missing as people post.

Just have to point out that three of the four founding members of Chicago -- Lee Loughnane, James Pankow and Walt Parazaider -- were brothers in our Kappa Phi Chapter (DePaul) in the mid-60s. Parazaider served as chapter president.

The three, all of whom are still in the band, have received a National Citation and in 2009 were named Signature Sinfonians, our highest award for alums who have brought honor to the Fraternity through a high standard of accomplishment in their profession or commitment to service.

Meanwhile:

The Allman Brothers
ZZ Top
The Grateful Dead

Journey. No one can do what they do lol.

Poison, for all their hot sticky sweetness.

Bon Jovi, seriously Living on a Prayer is enough.

How in the world did I leave these out?

The Byrds
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (my favorite of all time)

You stole my answer with that second one. I still have some old 45's of theirs that were my parents.

Also, I like the Turtles. Very chill.

ETA: Led Zeplin is classic and you can't really go wrong with anything that has Eric Clapton's name on it.

Molly Hatchet was a Southern Rock band that used heavy metal style album artwork.

And that brought to mind Paul Revere and the Raiders.

how cool!! i adored chicago and saw them in concert several times. i think its great that they are still making music!

a sorority sister of mine and her mother( a ZTA alum. initiate) hired them a couple of years back to play for her dad/husband's birthday here in naples. and yes, these people have more money than Bill Gates.

Southern rockers:

Lynard Skynard(i know leonard skinner, the teacher who the boys named their band after)
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
The Allman Brothers
ZZ Top
Georgia Satellites(Keep your hands to yourself)
Black Oak Arkansas(Jim Dandy to the Rescue)

sorry charlie! how could i forget you-Charlie Daniels Band

George Thoroughgood is not a favorite, but I always think of him with "Southern" rock.

MC, I had no idea they were members of Phi Mu Alpha. That's awesome! btw, what instrument(s) do you play?

Totally agree. I love Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. I totally forgot when Young joined them. It was originally Crosby, Stills and Nash. I don't know if anyone has Woodstock on DVD, but they performed their. Wooden Ships is my fav from them.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqLy-Ks8viw I love this song.

Yes I was going to mention the middle 3.

He is more blues rock I would say.

Also I would like to mention CCR. While they may not actually be from the south they are definitely southern rock style wise.

This is more recent/ contemporary, but:

The Black Crowes

They are superb. And awesome.

I've avoided this thread all day because I thought it wouldn't ring any bells with me...being a California girl. Now I'm just confused. I grew up listening to these groups and never would have thought of them as "Southern." Can someone explain, please?

Steely Dan
The Doobie Brothers
The Steve Miller Band
Chicago
America
Eagles
Tom Petty

Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Blue on Black is one of my all time favorites.

Oh, and Chris Thomas King, even though he's more of a Blues artist.

And I think of Johnny Cash as a southern rock type, even though he's more mainstream country.

the thread is southern rock/classic rock.
