Philistine! Neil Young is always listenable (made up word but you know!) SHA and Freebird are both great songs but it amazes me what you can do with 3 chords and a few scales! Check out "An Evening With The Allman Brothers". I borrowed my parents car and this tape from my brother and drove for 45 minutes cos i didn't want to be removed from the zone... it's awesome!

ive heard of blackstone cherry, just never really looked into them because i wasn't sure what kind of music it was (guess i figgered on your typical mainstream radio rock people), but i'll be sure to go look them up.

Hey Rebel, talk about new Southern Rock bands, if you don't know them, you have to check out Black Stone Cherry. They're out of a real small town--Edmonton, Ky and the drummers dad was in the Kentucky Headhunters. Anyway, they're high gain southern rock monsters. Just google their name and you'll get their web site--the video for Lonely Train (on youtube) absolutely rocks.

Like Southpaw41L, I'll cast my vote for "Whipping Post" by the Allman Brother's Band - that track on 'Live at the Filmore East' is sheer genius. The band was at a creative peak then - after Duane Allman and Barry Oakley (bassist) died in separate motorcycle accidents, they never recaptured the raw energy and creative flair. Dickie Bett's guitar playing has always been great, but something about that original line-up with 2 drummers and all that talent just made for powerful music.

Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird" would have to be a close second. Here is an article in today's Jackson Mississippi paper about the plane crash 30 years ago:

I lean more to the ones that aren't overplayed:

Midnight Rider-Allman Bros.

Train, Train- Blackfoot

Southern Man-Neil Young..i know true Southern rockers loathe this song because of the lyrics, which is why i include it.

Freebird!

If I was too choose a more recent effort then I would plump for Kings Of Leon - Holly Roller Novocaine.

I don't really have a single favorite, but here are some contenders I didn't notice mentioned above:

CDB - "Uneasy Rider", "Devil Went Down to Georgia"
LS - "Gimme Three Steps"
Molly Hatchett - "Flirting With Disaster"
ZZ Top - "LaGrange" (how, how, how, how), "Cheap Sunglasses"

- Zurf

oops - looks like LR posted LaGrange while I was prepping my response

Either SHA or Freebird would be a worthy winner.

However how about something a little bit more commercial like Hotel California or Take It Easy by The Eagles

I think between the two, freebird should have won easily....Especially the live version: 15 minutes of joy

Green Grass & High Tides, superb.

Many of you will not have heard this, you are missing something important here in rock history.

Bootleger, you're a hero. Sounds like a good title for a song
