Awesome list until I got to God&Guns. I'd replace that with "It'll Shine When It Shines."

[@kennbrown4638]

I have to include 2 live albums. They're 2 of my all-time favorite live albums. 1. Lynyrd Skynyrd: One More for the Road 2. Allman Brothers: At Fillmore East 3. The Outlaws: self-titled 4. Blackfoot: Strikes 5. Black Oak Arkansas: Keep the Faith 6. Marshall Tucker Band: self-titled 7. The Outlaws: Ghost Riders 8. Black Crowes: Southern Harmony & Musical Companion 9. Charlie Daniels: Fire on the Mountain 10. Molly Hatchet: Silent Reign of Heroes

[@danburnes722]

To me, the Outlaws: green grass and high tides is the quintessential southern rock song... though I like much mentioned, this song always pulls me in.

[@foxtrotnow]

It is one of them for sure. My absolute favorite song by the band.

[@chriswoosley3883]

you're 100% correct ..over anything.....THE quintessential

[@j.j.4150]

Every day would be a dream haha

[@LuchaLibertaria]

Martin Popoff's reviews are quite predictable and formulaic :70s are all good, 80s are all bad. It's Delivered-to-Address nostalgia that ticks confirmation bias of 70s nostalgia fans & is built on a caricaturised version of the past.

[@LuchaLibertaria]

In this show Martin Popoff ridicules Black Crowes as a hair band as if they were some talentless hacks that formed a band after they had been to a hair saloon. (If Black Crowes album had been released in 1978 instead of 1990 & had literally the same music&image, Martin would have called it Southern Rock)

[@j.j.4150]

@@LuchaLibertaria I think he is a very enjoyable and informative guy. I like him quite a bit on this Channel and also his other stuff. He is certainly not 100% by the numbers and definitley not the way you describe him.

[@davidrehm9681]

Great video! Glad to see The Rossington Collins Band mentioned. They seem to get overlooked when discussing southern rock.

[@Nick-qf7vt]

My favourite southern rock band is easily Blackfoot, which I never would have discovered without this show. Same goes for most southern rock. This show has been invaluable to me.

[@olivierbodin4768]

Blackfoot has been awsome until Marauder. The following had been much disapointing (Vertical Smiles is just sh.t). But the very best of them is their Highway Song Live album: pure fury. Much worth listening! ;)

First five Molly Hatchet albums are my favorites, both Danny Joe Brown and Jimmy Farrar were great frontmen. Other favorites are Blackfoot " Strikes", and "Tomcattin'", Point Blank "Airplay", Lynyrd Skynyrd "Street Survivors" and "Second Helping", Allman Brothers "Brothers And Sisters" and ZZ Top "Rio Grand Mud" and "Tejas".

[@LuchaLibertaria]

23:22 Black Crowes is a Hard Rock band, they are not "hair metal" or any other dumb made-up genre. They were seen as a 70s inspired Hard Rock band when they first came out in '90. They were/are great musicians that deserve respect.

Liked their first album, "Shake yer Moneymaker".

[@independenceltd.]

@@BenDowdy You should check out "The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion," "Warpaint" and "Three Snakes and One Charm" albums. Definitely better, in my opinion. Hell, I'd even go with "By Your Side" too. Criminally underrated Crowes album.

My favorite is a little gem called " anytime, any place, anywhere" by Rossington Collins band. Excellent!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for the show Pete, Martin. Cheers!

[@Joefaf104]

One band, and I’ve never heard Pete mention them, is RAGING SLAB Awesome Southern Rock and boogie rock n roll. Great people to meet as well.

Atlanta Rhythm Section-red tape and champagne jam.

[@catdeli]

Hydra! Hydra! Hydra! Amazed they didn't get much bigger because to me they floor 98% of the bands on your lists. Good overall picks though, cant really fault those choices.

My Top 10 Southern Rock Albums (I was going to do this a Couple Months ago) 10 - Marshall Tucker Band 9 - Tres Hombres (ZZ Top) 8 - Molly Hatchet 7 - Outlaws 6 - Carolina Dreams (Marshall Tucker Band) 5 - Eat a Peach (Allman Brothers Band) 4 - Pronounced Leh-Nerd Sky-Nerd 3 - Fandango! (ZZ Top) 2 - Ghost Riders (Outlaws) 1 - Running like the Wind (Marshall Tucker Band) All the Rest of the Albums from these Groups are in My Honorable Mentions.

[@Walesktf]

Greetings from South Wales, UK. Another great show guys. Here's my Top 10. No apologies for putting Skynyrd top of the pile. I can't pick between their 5 original studio albums, so I've listed them all. Ha! Not only are they the best Southern Rock Band of all time, but THE best band to have come out of the US of A. End of. So, off the top of my head, my favourite Southern Rock albums: 1/LYNYRYD SKYNYRD - PRONOUNCED/GIMME BACK.../NUTHIN' FANCY/STREET SURVIVORS/SECOND HELPING 2/ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND - BROTHERS & SISTERS 3/MARSHALL TUCKER BAND - CAROLINA DREAMS 5/GRINDERSWITCH - MACON BLUES 6/MOLLY HATCHET - FLIRTIN' WITH DISASTER 7/BLACKFOOT - TOMCATIN' 8/BLACK CROWES - SOUTHERN HARMONY 9/THE OUTLAWS - THE OUTLAWS 10/38 SPECIAL - SPECIAL FORCES Some honourable mentions: DOC HOLLIDAY - RIDES AGAIN GOV'T MULE - THE DEEP END Vols 1 & 2 SKINNY MOLLY - NO GOOD DEED Not included any ZZ Top as they are in essence, as Pete points out, a Texas Blues Band. Love Little Feat, but as they aren't from the south, so not included any of their albums either. I guess if I was including ZZ Top, then I could not leave out the awesome 13th Floor Elevators nor some or Roky Erickson's solo material. Not sure if you would include any bands or artists from New Orleans in the Southern Rock category but if so two albums I could not leave out are, Professor Longhair/Rock N' Roll Gumbo & Dr John's/Gris Gris. Jeez just realised I've left out the ROSSINGTON COLLINS BAND - ANYTIME ANYPLACE ANYWHERE. Guess it would be my No. 2

[@seagullpoet]

No doubt about that !

[@mikem.7921]

The covers definitely matched the music

[@antoniovita5363]

@@mikem.7921 I don't Molly Hatchet artwork matched the music on the records. They were great for what they were but they were also far from the kinda music Hatchet played. They always reminded me the Manowar covers. I love the day view Molly Hatchet album. It just doesn't get better than that. Do I like their covers?...No, they're misleading

[@Skycladatdusk78]

I loved their covers, I thought their hard driving southern rock fit the artwork good. Songs like Beatin' The Odds, Bloody Reunion, Bounty Hunter and Fall Of The Peacemakers would be great to march off to battle to.

[@independenceltd.]

@@antoniovita5363 I had the same initial feeling towards the album covers myself, when I was a yungin'. But in the 70s, and even into the 80s, bands used album cover art to get album sales. There was no internet, texting, file sharing, etc. Many of these bands had no hope of getting airplay, and if they eventually did, it was due to fan's requests brought on by album sales. Whether you think the album cover matches the music or not, they generated interest, which in turn generated sales, which in turn generated airplay. It worked perfectly. Those album covers are synonymous with MH now. Iron Maiden followed the same blueprint. Just to a greater degree.

Another great discussion on the heels of your progressive rock show. I’m not well versed in this genre aside from a handful of albums like The Outlaws , Diablo Canyon , and various compilations including Skynyrd and the Allman’s . And some ZZ Top albums as well. I will check some of these out . I would love to see both of you do shows on your top 10 American albums , and your top 10 Canadian albums . But , only 1 album per group , so you can’t fill it up with Rush albums or Kansas albums for example. Just food for thought . Thank you for the thoughtful discussions !

Paul Goddard...RIP (2014)

[@tubetea]

Had tickets to see ARS 4 different times, twice in Birmingham and twice in Houston. No shows each time, the fourth time was actually a free concert they were supposed to play in Houston so really only 3 times had I pre~purchased tickets but they were no shows for the free show also. Ironically, a couple of months later Steppenwolf played the free concert which was every Thursday in downtown Houston and I put my card in a box trying to win the door prize , didn't even know what the door prize was, when the radio station called me the following Monday to tell me I had won the door prize and that I had won a guitar. When I got to the station that night to pick up the guitar it was signed by all the members of Atlanta Rhythm Section sans Paul Goddard, (he wasn't with them on that tour) but Ronnie Hammond and the rest of them signed the guitar that I won. I wish that I could have seen that line up perform live, the first time I missed them because I had to work and all of my friends were telling me how great Ronnie and Paul were, they couldn't believe how great the bass player was. Sure wish I could have seen them play live. I was front row just to the left of center stage for the Steppenwolf show, one of the best shows I've ever seen.

He & Rossington fell out, Gary got the girl, Allen got the band. Rossington - Collins - This Is The Way. The band was imploding (see above) but this 2nd outing tops an impressive debut. Alias - Contraband. Some Skynyrd guys become a couple southern singer songwriters' session band and produce a hidden gem.

[@johnmichaelwilliams6694]

Excellent Popoff and Pardo show on a music genre very close to my heart. Very entertaining show and loved hearing the choices from the two of you. Using the Pardo rule of only 1 album from any artist/group, the top 10 for today are: 1. The Allman Brother Band eponymous debut 2. Second Helping - Lynyrd Skynyrd 3. Fire On The Mountain - The Charlie Daniels Band 4. Molly Hatchett eponymous debut 5. Carolina Dreams - The Marshall Tucker Band 6. Tre Hombres - ZZ Top 7. Wild Eyed Southern Boys - .38 Special 8. Hurry Sundown - The Outlaws 9. Grey Ghost - The Henry Paul Band 10. Strikes - Blackfoot Honorable mentions would include Greg Allman solo album, Dose by Government Mule, and for most recent the Dixie Highway album by The Outlaws. Great bands all and a genre of music loved more than 50 years by this listener. Thanks again, Martin and Pete for such an enjoyable - and as usual, informative - show. Later added: Tom Petty and the all the Heartbreakers were originally from North Central Florida [my hometown] but moved to California to get a record deal.

Great show as usual...I love Martin’s contrarian teases. So very many fabulous albums in a crowded genre. How about a big shout for those outside the big five? Eric Quincy Tate, Grinderswitch(the late great DJ John Peel even kept “Pickin’ the Blues” as his theme tune through his punk years), Redwing, Dickey Betts’ Great Southern(speaking of which, co-songwriter Don Johnson’s first two albums contain some fun stuff), Wet Willie(not just “Keep On Smilin’”...check out “Manorisms”), Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Stillwater(who finally got their pay day thanks to Cameron Crowe licensing the name for his fictitious band in “Almost Famous”), and Elvin Bishop Group. Anyone with an interest in Southern Rock should check out The Old Grey Whistle Test(theme music “Stone Fox Chase” from Area Code 615) Capricorn Records summer picnic video on KZbin. I have happy memories of swigging large quantities of Jack with Skynyrd(support to Golden Earring) on their first UK tour, and seeing them own a festival crowd of over 100,000 at Knebworth. One year later Atlanta Rhythm Section did the exact same thing supporting Tom Petty,Starship, and Genesis. Have a monster festive break and stay safe everyone.

I’m southern, listening to a yankee and a Canadian critique Southern Rock…and I agree !!!

[@keithfotheringham5059]

Wow you guys are missing the boat with Tom Petty. Try Southern Accents, Damn The Torpedoes or Full Moon Fever, all amazing records. Or go for the more mature side of Petty, equally classic... The Last DJ, Wildflowers, and Highway Companion. For all that I've heard you two talk about loving, this was a big surprise to me. Hope you can find the time to give ol' Tom a reassessment. Back in the 70s I wasn't hearing about it, but when I got dragged to a concert in the mid-80s it was a different story and I was hooked. Cheers!

[@alexandergilles8583]

Man, I love me some Tom Petty. TP&Heartbreakers, solo, and traveling Wilburys. All great stuff. Surprised that they aren’t big fans. But hey, can’t like everything!

Not Southern Rock....Americana

[@rallabhandiprabhakar4750]

TPHB may have origins in South and incorporated often southern rock elements in their music but they are not really classified as Southern Rock. They are more Heartland main stream rock band - probably the best in business ever . The other bands / artists in this category are Bruce Springsteen and E Street band, Bob Seeger , John Mellencamp, Bruce Hornsby & Range and even The Black Crowes , TTB

[@julianford5657]

I'm from the UK so can't claim to have a full understanding of the nuances of what is and what isn't Southern Rock but, from the artists I've known and loved since first hearing Sweet Home Alabama, these are the albums that go back to again and again - in no particular order 1. The Black Crowes - The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion 2. Skynyrd - Second Helping 3. Skynyrd - Street Survivors (Tragic that we'll never hear the great music they would have made with Steve Gaines after this one album) 4. ZZ Top - Tres Hombres 5. Allman Brothers Band - Idlewild South 6. Allman Brothers Band - At Fillmore East 7. Drive By Truckers - A Southern Rock Opera 8. Gov't Mule - The Deep End 9. Blackberry Smoke - Little Piece of Dixie 10. Blackberry Smoke - The Whipporwill To my mind, BBS are the band that has grabbed the baton of southern rock and are running with it the best - a great live band as well Thanks for the video guys - off to watch the prog one - if there aren't any Yes albums in there I'll be back on! (PS when I saw BBS at The Roundhouse a few years ago Charlie played a bit of Starship Trooper during Sleeping Dogs - completely unexpected but sounded great)

[@j.s.6732]

Honorable mention: Stevie Ray Vaughn and double trouble: great live.

[@seamanjive]

What a great show, I was checking out the albums on Spotify as you counted down, picked up some great music. So glad Little Feat got a mention, saw em with Lowell at Charlton Football Ground in London in 76 (The Who, Outlaws, Alex Harvey etc). I discounted LF as "country". Now I get it, I love 'em !

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

Marshall Tucker Band - Searchin' For A Rainbow; Charlie Daniels Band - Full Moon; Outlaws - Hurry Sundown; Allman Bros - self titled album; Kentucky Headhunters - Pickin' on Nashville; 38 Special - WESB; Grinderswitch - Redwing; Black Oak Arkansas - High On The Hog; Ozark Mountain Daredevils - It'll Shine When It Shines; Little Feat - Feats Don't Fail Me Now. Honrable mention - Creedence Clearwater Revival any record.

[@dtltmtgt]

ZZ always big for me, but Skynyrd close second (later stuff too 👍)... 1. Tres Hombres - ZZ Top 2. (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd) - Lynyrd Skynyrd 3. Allman Brothers self-titled 4. Green River - CCR 5. Second Helping - Lynyrd Skynyrd 6. Idlewild South - Allman Brothers 7. Deguello - ZZ Top 8. The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion - The Black Crowes 9. Bayou Country - CCR 10. ZZ Top's First Album H/M Shake Your Money Maker - The Black Crowes Flirtin' With Disaster - Molly Hatchet Nobody Said It Was Easy - Four Horsemen

[@LuchaLibertaria]

Good call on Four Horsemen 🤘Their debut and Lynyrd Skynyrd's The Last Rebel were the best Southern Rock albums of the early 90s....

[@purpletemple1]

Four Horsemen of course! What a killer band!

[@holydiver73]

Being British, Southern Rock isn’t really huge over here, but here are my favourites. Picked deep from my bag of obvious. 5 Molly Hatchet - Flirtin’ with Disaster 4 Black Oak Arkansas - High on the Hog 3 Lynyrd Skynyrd - pronounced ‘Leh’nerd Skin-nerd’ 2 ZZ Top - ZZ Top’s first Album 1 The Outlaws - The Outlaws

Hi HolyDiver I'm also a big Southern Rock fan in England & all your albums are in my collection, I just wish I could have been in America to see these bands in their own back yard.

[@holydiver73]

@@robmills537 oh man, if I had a time machine and I go back anywhere and anywhen, I’d be a very busy boy that’s for sure. The Hollies - 1967 Woodstock - 1969 Isle of Wight Festival - 1970 Deep Purple, Osaka 1972 Deep Purple, California Jam - 1974 Rainbow, Munich, 1977 Whitesnake, Hammersmith, 1980 Dio, Donnington , 1983 I’d check out a few of those southern rock bands too.

[@jrhguitarbassdrums]

Hey Pete, about SLIDE GUITAR. I could never get it either for the longest time. Until Bonnie Rait gave me the best advice ( via an interview). She said “ just slide until it sounds good.” Its really that simple and that got me on the right track with slide. Once you get that down, do it in some open tunings like G tuning. Hope that helps

Any band that covers Full Moon ("Midnight Pass") is OK with me. Love Sea Level...they are eclectic & IMO shouldn't be labeled as Southern Rock. I know Capricorn Records has that going for it...but Captain Beyond is also on Capricorn (I assume Bobby Caldwell's connection to the Allmans?).
