Skynard, but ZzTop and the Eagles are a close second.

 

Eagles as southern rock? I never would have thought to toss them in that mix. Perhaps Country Rock, espcially the first couple albums, but never southern. I thought there wqas more a California / Detroit mix IIRC.

Just because you're not from the South, doesn't mean you can't sing it.

 

 

Who's more Southern, Limp Bizkit from Jacksonville or Shania Twain from Canada?

 

Southern Rock? Limp Bizkit. Country and Western? Shania Twain. Who has a song closer to Sweet Home Alabama?

 

I agree with what you wrote, I just don't quite hear a southern rock vibe in Eagles. Fill in the blank for me, Sweet Home Alabama, If You Wanna Get to Heaven, Ramblin Man, Free Bird, Green Grass and High Tides, Fire on the Mountain, Midnight Rider, _________________

 

Life in the Fast Lane? Hotel California? Desperado?

 

BTW, I love the Eagles. Saw* them about a dozen times.

 

Texas grammer y'all ;)

If you consider that rock, then I have to agree. But I don't really consider those rock tunes. They are more country.

There is a lot of cross over there.

Country Rock IS Southern Rock and vice-versa.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagles_%28band%29

 

Nope. There is a lot of crossover, but there are major differences. Southern Rock is Rock with a southern feel. Country rock is rock with country influences. You won't hear .38 Special on a country station, but you will hear the Eagles. You won't hear Shania Twain on a rock station.

 

Read through the southern rock links, very little cross over to country and western charts.

 

Southern does not equal country.

John Fogerty was born in California y'know Tex.

 

The Band is from Canada, yet are considered southern rock.

I never would have picked CCR for "Southern Rock".

 

Where, may I ask, are The Outlaws??? "Green Grass and High Tides" is a classic.

 

Georgia Satellites, Outlaws (also their Ghost Riders :headbang ), Stevie Ray, Thorogood, Molly Hatchet, Elvin Bishop, Blackfoot, OMD, April Wine

 

Lots that I didn't add.

Shania Twain has been on a pop rock station.

 

Do you really consider her a rock performer?

 

Do we agree there is a difference between southern and country?
