Same here, Queen are the most over-rated band of all time. U2 haven't done anything even half way decent since Achtung Baby. Even at their worst though, they are still better than Queen
Another few names to add to your Southern Rock greats are Molly Hatchet, Doc Holiday and in patches, 38 Special. Also, if you get the chance go watch Skinny Molly live, when you can. They frequently tour the UK and have as their guitarist Mike Estes, ex Skynyrd.
