Petition to get Skynyrd into R&R Hall of Fame
To: stainlessbanner
He did the same last year for Bob Seger. And it worked, helping to get Seger into the Class of 2004 Skynyrd should get in, but this guy's credibility is totally shot having championed Bob Segar. Anyway, Spinal Tap ought to get in as well.

I'm signing it. I've been a Skynyrd fan since I was a kid, and there ain't nuthin' like starting your Saturday morning with 'Gimme 3 Steps'.

Gonna run my Skynyrd MP3 collection right now just to reminisce. They have a slew of great songs that range from excellent instrumental to hilarious lyrics.
Statesboro Blues to Gimme Three Steps Mista

"Statesboro Blues" is an Allman Brothers tune. The rendition you typically hear on the radio is from their classic Live at Fillmore East album.

They haven't paid attention to what a wide range of musicians -- from Hank Williams Jr. to Neil Young (yes, Neil Young) -- have said about Skynyrd's music."I hope Neil Young will remember, a southern man don't need him around anyhow."

stainless, I know we've had our disagreements about things in general, and things Southern in particular. BUT, this is a friendly message, from one Southerner to another. If you like Skynyrd, you must check out the Drive-By Truckers. They are based out of Athens, GA, but most of them are from my part of the world: north Alabama. No one - absolutely no one - is rocking as hard as these guys at the moment. Their last three records are all masterful, but as an entry point I would recommend Southern Rock Opera, a two-disc rockfest that is largely an homage to Skynyrd.

Speaking of Southern Rock...does anyone remember Molly Hatchet?

Did Lynyrd Skynyrd ever learn that 3rd chord? If they did, then let 'em in.
(Totally useless trivia - the name of the band is an "homage" to Ronnie VanZant's school gym teacher Leonard Skinner, who was notorious for punishing students with long hair).

Statesboro Blues was the Allman Bros. - they got in 1995 (along with LedZep)
To: SilentServiceCPOWife
With or without Danny Joe Brown they rocked. Always liked their muscle man superhero album covers.
How's about Blackfoot?
