Mountain - Mississippi Queen

[Rotten Possum]

I don't know if this bothers anyone else but Mountain's Mississippi Queen is labeled in Rock Band as Southern Rock.

Mountain is from Long Island New York. Last time I checked New York isn't... the south.

It doesn't matter where the band is FROM, it matters what type of music it is. Would you call a country song hip-hop if the band is from South Central LA? What about a calling a hip-hop song a country song because the rap group is from North Dakota?

[Bakkster]

Foo Fighters are labeled as Classic Rock, even though the song is from the 90s...

Just accept it for what it is.

[NismoRR]

I think you need more important things to bother you than how a song is classified.

The song does mention Vicksburg, which is in Mississippi, which is in the south.

And I never noticed the Foos as classic rock. Haha.

Its a Style...One that resembles Lyrnyrd Skynyrd...Which would explain why its labeled as "Southern Rock"

Mountain is about as much a southern rock band as Black Sabbath is.

[Quinarvy]

Mountain is about as much a southern rock band as Black Sabbath is.

But song sounds very southern rock-y.

Yeah anybody can play southern rock and Mississippi Queen really toes the line between southern and classic. But I have always considered Mountain as a band to be southern rock.

I can't sing that song for beans.

Foghat used to be lumped in with southern rock too, they're from England.:D
