This may be of interest.

Hawkwind aren't a rock band? Eh?

Some that haven't yet had a mention: Sabbath, ZZTop, Motorhead, Mudhoney, Faith No More.

Lynyrd Skynyrd

That is a particularly awesome version of that song.... they seemed to pick up an extra guitar player from somewhere?

I presume you've heard of drive by truckers? they are often unfairly compared to LS: being from the south, and a five person lineup with three guitars: advantages over LS are:

1. still alive; and

2. still touring.


Here's a link to an awesome early ish song of theirs called "Sink Hole"

I was looking for Outfit but can't find it on youtube.

yup, got drive by truckers too...The Dirty South is the album I have...they are real good too


I get sick of the fact that the only song to get airplay on the radio by LS seems to be sweet home alabama, whereas they put out some real good ones...Free Bird rocks, and Simple Man is fantastic too

[Number One]

Black Sabbath

Now you're being silly, I love both the above - but rock they are not.

At this point I am going to mention Newcastle University's finest: Mutant Surf Ape...Beach Boys and Metallica covers in the same set, and MisterD as a roadie..
