Darned well should be. Far as I'm concerned, they were THE southern rock band.
I might list Skynard at #2, except I don't think I can ever forgive them for "Free Bird." So I'll sub in Molly Hatchet.
The Allman Brothers Band created the genre and then transcended it, taking it somewhere new. Perhaps the greatest American rock band ever, playing "fusion" before anyone even knew what that was. There has never been a band with the likes of Dickey and Duane, two superstar guitar players who didn't have an ego clash but rather delighted in hearing the other play.
I always thought that Marshall Tucker Band epitomized Southern Rock.
Outlaws?
Hughie Thomasson and Billy Jones could jams as good as anyone and had great songs to back back em up
There were definitely a lot of imitators (still are) but I think you got the top two for sure with Allman Bros and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
saw them do freebird live in 74..... mind was blown. when i got home there was much woodsheddin going on at my house. so i do forgive them for freebird.
and yes,,,,, allman bros were right up there too.
but a big shout out to ZZ top and the outlaws

before the plane crash ronnie and neil had settled their differences.
if you look on the cover of street survivor you will see ronnie has a neil young
t shirt on,,, rumor was the 2 were going to do some recording together,, and if you notice one of the other guys is wearing a t shirt that says MY GRASS IS BLUE
Lynyrd Skynyrd basically played from a piece of sheet music that they wrote, that ain’t any kind of rock!
