The Top 100 Greatest Southern Rock Songs
Who said so, what the criteria was and other details are missing. But the list, which is from 2008, is a good one. I stumbled on it while looking for the soundtrack to the movie Beast of the Southern Wild, which I’ll continue to try to find. It’s a great movie, by the way.
The top song is Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Free Bird. Above is the band’s Gimme Three Steps, which logged in at number 27.

“Gimme Three Steps” is far and away both my favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd song and my favorite from the linked list. “Whipping Post” is quite a performance, too. My southern rock tastes tend more towards gator rock, i.e.: Tom Petty.
I like it because southern rock never really has been known for his humor. I am open minded, but I just cannot stomach the number 1 song, Free Bird. Here is my real favorite: http://www.dailymusicbreak.com/2012/03/22/music-break-of-the-day-sweet-home-alabama/
