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.

Here is The Leningrad Cowboys site, a clip from when being in the The Red Army Choir actually meant something and the real Sweet Home Alabama.
