One is enough. Just play "Rocks Off" by the Stones and it tells it all.

Janis Joplin would be my number one choice. I guess the problem it 10 is just not enough to get some more obvious ones in.

Nice addition of Skynyrd and MTB. Many of those early rockers were from the south - Elvis, Jerry Lee, Little Richard, Fats, etc.
Your namesake band also has some great rockers - Otis' "Shout Bamalama " being a prime example. No, No, No", "Dixie Rock", and of course, "Keep ON Smilin'" are just a few of the others. I saw Wet Willie in 2019 and Jimmy and Donna at the Capricorn Revival. Always a great show.

I like southern rock and on my personal list I would include too many to say they exemplify rock n roll. But Ozark Mountain Daredevils is almost as special as Wet Willie for me. Too long for a handle.
Live performances seemed important to me for this thread. I saw Ted Nugent in San Francisco in the 90s and the stage was surrounded by punk rocker admirers. Great thread, thanks.

Thanks. As I am about 50 miles from Macon and was a 70's teenager, I cut my teeth on Southern Rock. My first concert was The Allman Brothers Band and Wet Willie in 1975! Saw the real Skynyrd twice before the plane crash. Toy Caldwell of MTB was a special player.
