Hearing all these great songs together is like finally coming home to family and friends after being away for too long...they are forever etched in the memories of my life in the great American South...a heartfelt thanks to all these legendary artists...

You have the last three songs correct but not in the order they should be. This is the order : #3 Sweet Home Alabama #2 Ramblin' Man #1 Free Bird

@carsconcerts963 do you have CMT's 40 Greatest Men of Country Music, released in 2003?

Lynyrd Skynyrd is incredible. They actually sounded better to live than recording. But how did leave ZZ Top off the list? La Grange was one of them songs that went, where did that come from? I went and bought the Tres Hombres Album. It was incredible, so I went I and got the first two albums as soon as I saved enough money. 3 Piece band with a huge sound.

Hank Jr was the best concert I ever been. Spartanburg Auditorium I thank 1982. I was in to rock. My Brother was listening to Hank. I was liking what heard from most of the bubble gum Rock at the Time. So I said I am going to see Hank with ya'll. Spartanburg is 10 miles from I live. Hank had a lot of rowdy friends here.

Molly Hatchet was an Awesome band. Incredible singer Danny Joe Brown, may they rest in peace.

The Georgia Satellites were a great band. That album was great. And at this time there was a lot of bad music on rock radio.

I always love the story Blackfoot using Ricky's Grandfather on the Harp. This is one of the songs the first time heard, it was like "Where Did that Come From" It was so prefect. A great Tribute to Mr. Medlock.

A great comment that I saw regarding Train Train was from someone saying they wannted to get into a bar fight to that song.

All GREAT, songs the order is subjective and there are so many more.

Love it when a band members are zzHOTT and bad ass musicians

Bret Michaels is nothing but a big phony he should go back to wearing makeup like he did when he was in poison and just disappear I have no respect for this guy !

I have no respect for bret Michaels opinion on anything wish you had not had him on here for commentary !

Really? Out of all the Allman Brothers music catalog they pick "I'm no Angel " 😂

So my question is who is the greatest rock band question mark Lynyrd Skynyrd or the Allman Brothers band it seemed to me a pretty much tie

You could have just randomly picked 20 Lynyrd Skynyrd songs and this list would have been more accurate

The Allman Brothers created southern rock

Charlie Daniels was a great guitar player also

I wish taco bowman could be there signing artigraphs... Daytona is where its at!!!! Pure outlaw country, party central lots good historical factions. Thanks for an amazing show guys!!!❤

A southern band often overlooked is in many ways the very first Southern Rock band- Black Oak Arkansas

How can “Amie” not be in a list of the Top 20 best Southern Rock songs!!

Most critics are undereducated on the Allman Brothers. They didn't have gimmicks and tricks, they just started it all and played a new kind of music. Any Southern officinato will conceded the ABB was at the top. All other musicians will concede their influence on all the bands that followed them. True icons and left a legacy of musicians that still come from the Allman orbit. The road goes on forever.

going off the grid: North Mississippi Allstars - goin' down south; Widespread Panic - ain't life grand & chilly wet water; Drive by Truckers - goddamn lonely love; a ton of sh*t by All Them Witches. Molly Hatchet - gator country

My favorite southern rock band who never gets enough credit is the Atlanta Rhythm Section.

I can't believe Molly Hatchet wasn't included

Black Oak Arkansas 💪

this list was obviously created by someone who did not live through the time period when southern rock was at its peak. its southern Rock, not pop, or country, how about next time you consult with a Boomer and perhaps you could get it right.

What, No BOA?

So many great songs and stories I can’t pick just one. “Sweet Home” was largely written by Ed King who was a S. California man!!!

Thank you for uploading! Possible to upload the Uncompressed Video of this CMT Special?:D And do you also happen to have these CMT Specials? CMT: The Greatest - 20 Greatest Southern Rock Songs CMT: The Greatest - Sexiest Southern Men CMT Greatest Moments: Willie Nelson CMT: Greatest Men 2005 Thank you soo much:))

The Allman Brothers started it and that band is number one. So many of their songs to pick as number one!

If it’s only twenty songs then no one should be on it but ABB and LS

There’s no such thing as “Southerner rock”. Rock & Roll was Born in the South therefore everything else is labeled Rock.

I have been blessed to see all but 2 of these performed live.

CCR needs to be on this list. Otherwise, nice.

Pure Prairie league aimee....

As soon as I seen freebird wasn’t number one I knew these guys that made this list didn’t know what they were talking about

Never heard Dixie chicken an I’m 64

Lynyrd Skynyrd should have all 20 of the top southern rock songs

This would be great if they would just play the songs without all the commentary

I saw almost all of these bands live, they made this CA boy be southern. My favorite line of ALL Charlie Daniels on The Devil Went Down To Georgia "I done told you once you SOB I'm the best that's ever been. Thanks bringing so many great memories.

Love all those guys they were truly originals .One that I really loved was Night of the Living Dread

Missed out on a nod to the Black Crowes. "Jealous Again" could have been on that list.

Danny Joe Brown pure Redneck power!

They look like a bunch of guys that need to get up close and personal with a bar of soap and a razor. Just sayin !

You left out The Night They Drove Ole Dixie Down and Ghost Riders in the Sky.

BLACK OAK

I loved the flute in Marshall Tucker band

You should play south Rockin N Rollin without talking about the Blues Bands. Just kick up the Bluesy music and play it Loud our not at all and I play it Loud all day long. There's so much good music out there I will never hear it all but I keep on looking for more.
