When people say, "southern rock", they mean Lynyrd Skynnyrd. I've said that for some time now.
The Allman Brothers early stuff sounded more psychedelic to me - more like Cream and other stuff of the period.
My usual rant - rock and roll IS southern. "Southern rock" is a redundant term. It's like saying, " Chinese egg roll".
There have been many adaptations and subsequent formats, but rock and roll was born out of Delta Blues. Like Muddy said, "the blues had a baby and they named it rock and roll".
