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'.

76-77' Skynryd was the best rock band out there, bar none.

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).

It's absurd that Lynyrd Skynrd wouldn't be in that. They were huge, rivaled only by Led Zepelin in their day.

But the whole RnR HoF is absurd anyhow. Don't waste your time on it one way or the other.

My favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd song is Simple Man. A song in these troubled times people should listen too and understand.

Skynard belongs in the HoF. I personally can't listen to them anymore--I'm burned out on Skynard. That's a sure sign of a great band--you can't listen to them anymore because you've listened to them too much. It's like Thanksgiving--everything's great, but if you eat too much you're gonna hurl. If I hear 'Gimme 3 Steps' one more time I'm gonna puke.

Man, when that plane went down, my group went down. I miss ole Ronnie Van Zant. He could cut a rug!!! "Hot as a fox in a forest fire!" Being from Bama, Sweet Home Alabama is my song. Plus the group Alabama cut: My Home's In Alabama. Two nice songs!

Nice thread. My husband and I have very eclectic tastes in music. Classical, hard rock, classic rock, even (gasp) 80's new wave; and everything in between.

So imagine my delight when my 6 year-old son (who is learning to play piano) when asked what is his favorite song that he wants to learn how to play....his answer is "Sweet Home Alabama"!!
