Right off the bat, I'll let you guys know I'm a huge fan of Southern Rock.
Skynyrd, The Allmans, Marshall Tucker , The Outlaws, Charlie Daniels, Molly Hatchet...to name a few, I love em all.
The guitar is just played too darn well by all of these groups to ignore.
Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers Band, are the true (mainstream) stand outs of the genre...So it surprised me when neither was announced to be on the disc for Rock Band.
My reasoning for the DLC is four fold:
1. Skynyrd and the Allmans have both had songs in previous HMX games. (Guitar Hero 2 - Jessica and Freebird)
2. Both bands have large (and tremendous) libraries that would work well with the downloadable album format.
3. Their songs would work well in Rock Band.
4. There are only 3 "southern rock" songs coming on the disc.
So, as a fan, I hope that my "guess" is right :D .
A few of my picks for each band:
The Allman Brothers Band:
No One to Run With
Ramblin' Man
Back Where It All Begins
One Way Out
Ain't Wastin' Time No More
In Memory of Elizabeth Reed
Blue Sky
Whipping Post
Trouble No More
Southbound
Revival
Wasted Words
Midnight Rider
If you want to seriously listen to some BEAUTIFUL guitar work, you listen to any of these songs, especialy the first 10.
Now for Skynyrd, seriously I could name 30 or 40 or so. So any song HMX picks will be fine.
But I would definitly include, That Smell and I Know A Little, oh and Gimme Three Steps...ok I better stop before I rattle off 20+
Go here to preview each group's songs:

That site ^ is www.Last.fm , it tracks the songs you play on your computer/mp3 player(although you gotta install something on your mp3 player), and charts your most listened to Songs and Artists.
Not gonna lie, Skynyrd is #3 and The Allmans are #4 for me :D , behind The Beatles and Led Zep
