Nomniate A Classic Southern Fried Rock Band For Our Hall Of Fame!

[Ocklawaha]

Here's the rules, Gen X, Y, and Z, just follow the boomers and hippie's, and let us all know which of the classic Southern Rock Bands you'd put in a national hall of fame in Jacksonville.

If possible post a video of their work, if you don't know how, copy the video embed code and pop it at the end of your comments. One of us will come along and try to make it work.

Nominate as many groups as you like, but they MUST be from the historical South which is actually:

Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and arguably Maryland and Missouri.

The music should be a fusion of rock, blues, electric rock and country, bluegrass, and country-western.

Obscure bands welcome!

Sometimes credited with starting the Southern Rock craze, these raunchy boys were from... uh... Black Oak Arkansas. 10,000 joints ago, somewhere on Vine, having just staggered out of the Hollywood Palladium it hit me, my family is from there too! Oh damn! Do I know Lijah!

Sweet Melissa the Allman Brothers have to be in.

Sweet Melissa hell... Let's have some of JESSICA!

Famous for being a "Georgia Band," The Allman Brothers were another product of our own sweet city, JACKSONVILLE!

The Allman Brothers Band is an American rock band once based in Macon, Georgia. The band was formed in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1969 by brothers Duane Allman (slide guitar and lead guitar) and Gregg Allman (vocals, organ), who were supported by Dickey Betts (lead guitar, rhythm guitar, vocals), Berry Oakley (bass), Butch Trucks (drums), and Jai Johanny Johanson (drums).  While the band has been called the "principal architects of Southern rock", they also incorporate elements of blues-rock and hard rock, and their live shows have jam band-style improvisation and instrumental songs.

BY REQUEST BLOODROCKS DOA... WARNING - NEVER LISTEN TO THIS SONG WHILE TAKING DOWNERS, IT WILL KILL YOU!! Voted one of the 10 Creepiest Songs of all time. Bloodrock's instrumental "rides" in the days just before electronic music were pretty amazing.  The drummer's ability in several songs to roll right into percussion triplets was nothing short of excellence.

How about a completely misplaced band? This is Creedence Clearwater Revival - The Song? Jambalaya. The Band? Actually from the BAYOU! The SACRAMENTO RIVER Biyou in CALIFORNIA! While it's hardly Southern, their music was purely in the mold of Southern Rock, moreover they were perhaps one of the only bands to borrow heavily from Zydeco Music. (ZYDECO is French: "les haricots" or "le zaricot", English: "green beans" or "snap beans") is a form of American roots or folk music. It evolved in southwest Louisiana in the early 19th century from forms of Louisiana Creole music. The rural black Creoles of southwest Louisiana and southeast Texas still sing in Creole French.

Usually fast tempo and dominated by the button or piano accordion and a form of a washboard known as a "rub-board," "scrub-board," or frottoir, zydeco music was originally created at house dances, where families and friends gathered for socializing. there are a handful of radio stations centered around New Orleans and extending out a few hundred miles each way that play Zydeco, and a couple that are exclusively Zydeco with Creole DJ's.

OCK NOTE: Having lived in the area, the farm country of Central and Northern California is generally populated by families that either escaped the ruined South at the end of the War of Yankee Aggression, or by Dust Bowl "Okies", displaced folk from throughout the South and Southwest. As a result to this day almost every town has it's Southern style bar, country music hot spot and honky tonk joint. Our music is alive and well on the Left Coast.
