If 12 minute two chord grooves are your thing then more power to ya’.
I prefer a little more ‘red meat’ in my rock and roll. Think Steely Dan, Bad Co, Lynard Skynnard, The Stones, The Who and of course, Led Zepplin just to name a few.
Lawrence Welk was before my time but nice try at insulting me.

Judging by what you wrote , it appears IO succeeded .
Don’t propose that one had to be high on LSD to appreciate a band’s music , and you won’t get insulted .
All the people in the bands you mentioned were at one time or another drug and or alcohol addicts .
Taking drugs to make music to take drugs to as it were...

Once you’ve supped on the Allman Bros (with Duane, of course), the rest of that southern rock thing never did it for me.
Steely Dan and Little Feat (oh if only they wrote lyrics worth listening to - Little Feat that is) were, IMO, among the best bands of the 70s.
But I logged more hours listening to Ry Cooder than any of them, so my tastes are easily questioned. Also a musician playing a handful of instruments - but chose the less popular route of playing/singing/writing original songs. The covers we play are so obscure most don’t know they are covers, or they have been so re-instrumented to the point of unrecognizability).
