Is there an British equivalent to "Southern Rock"? Who qualifies?

Prompted by the revived "Southern Rock S/D" thread. Not "southern" in the geographic sense - could be from Scotland or Wales - altho regional pride would be a factor.

Status Quo? Steeleye Span? The Cult (Ian Astbury's coonskin cap) What say you?

Not quite. However Savoy Brown, Stan Webb's Chicken Shack, Rory Gallagher, Foghat (see Savoy Brown), three guitar Fleetwood Mac, Stretch, etc.

Howard Jones is from Southampton. Dunno if I'd call his music rock though.

Btw. The correct answer, if you concentrate on music and ignore geography, is Free.
