Talk:List of southern rock bands

New System
I see here that we have several different bands, that are not neccessarily Southern Rock, but either use elements of, or fuse elements of southern rock. At the top of the page I have listed a disclaim of such. I think it is a great idea to have these bands listed here, even if not necessarily southern rock, because it allows user to experiment with other bands related to southern rock, and grow the resurge movement of southern rock that we see.

I am considering a system in which we can denotate if a band is traditional southern rock, rock or hard rock with southern influence or fusion thereof, and finally metal that is southern metal or metal with southern influence.

Any ideas would be appreciated, any help is much wanted.

Stoner Rock
I am looking for knowledge concerning Stoner Rock, the influence draws (if any) from Southern Rock, and how we might tie that in here... if we should at all... Basically all thoughts and ideas are welcome. This thought came to me when I noticed several bands here can be classified as Southern Rock, but are also frequently referred to as Stoner Rock, and sometimes as Desert Rock. For example, the band Down Which can be classified as Southern Metal, Sludge Metal, AND Stoner Metal... Because there are an overwhelming amount of Southern/Stoner mixes... I was looking for clarification concerning connections, correlations, and how we might go about addressing this, if at all... Thanks ahead of time!

Pantera?
I like this list; I'm finding it helpful for giving music suggestions to a friend that's into Southern Rock. However, why is Pantera on this list? I've never heard a metal band referred to as Southern Rock before, and nowhere on the Pantera page is there such a reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.105.237.221 (talk) 22:07, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION: Pantera? This is a hotly debated genre classification that was asked before I changed the layout to this page, and Im sure much longer as well... Let me clarify a couple things here. 1, It is classified as Pantera** With two asterisks, if you check the key, you will notice that this means that the band MAY be CONSIDERED southern metal... not necessarily dead set "Southern Metal" as you may consider it. 2, the point of this 'new' classification system is so that others who visit this page can extend their musical likings based on what others in the Wikipedia community believe is Southern based... and We the Wiki have spoken that the majority believe that Pantera is southern based. 3, while you may never see Pantera adamantly proclaiming "YES, WE PLAY SOUTHERN METAL!" the influence is all around them... with the glorious title of "Cowboys from Hell" and albums with titles like "The Great Southern Trendkill" not to mention musical qualities... I myself would not classify them only as Southern Metal and then call it a day... but I would think it clear that they ARE a metal band that DOES draw Southern Influence. Not to mention their direct influences with other bands such as Damageplan (southern influence here) and Rebel Meets Rebel (definitely Southern Metal) I see the connection clear as day, but would be happy to hear the counter argument, as well as others opinions both for and against.

 * note: also see several reviews for their albums where professionals review the album and note the southern influences.

The key doesn't list Southern Metal anymore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2407:7000:9A1C:F620:C5E3:F8D:F30A:836A (talk) 07:24, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Alphabetical order
It might be a good idea to correct the alphabetical order. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:908:4F3:780:E8AB:72C9:FB25:5915 (talk) 14:38, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
