Just when you thought Southern Rock died and went to that big, sold-out arena in the sky, the Truckers came along and brought the good-old three-guitar attack to the 21st Century. Formed in the late '90s, this Alabama band paid tribute to the ultimate Southern rockers -- Lynyrd Skynyrd -- with its double album The Southern Rock Opera in 2001.
In their favor: The Skynyrd tribute helped revitalize interest in Southern Rock.
Biggest threat: A recreation of Skynyrd's Street Survivors tour.
