My favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd song is Simple Man.

It is mine also. I also like the Ballad of Curtis Loew.

Half of the names in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are hardly Rock and Rollers. If Skynyrd aint in the hall, it aint legit.

Yeah, what's up with Al Green and Chet Akins, not to mention some other questionables?

Thanks Navy I'll give it a look. Like many of the truly great bands of the R&R Era. Lynyrd Skynyrd appreciated the Blues and wove it into of many of their songs. Curtis Loew is a perfect example and a damn good song. Simple Man, began one day when the band was sitting around and just talking about how their Moms would give them advice, on how to be a man and live their lives.It was later on that day when the song's title and lyrics were created...a nice story.I had heard them relate this in a interview years ago they had given to a national radio program .

If the R&R HoF cannot give them the honor of acceptance in their shrine then they deserve ever piddly a$$ non R&R band they can suck up too.

Those two songs are great!! But my favorite Skynyrd jam is one of the songs that was on the One More From The Road album, but left off the CD...T For Texas...the guitar duel on that song is awesome!!

Why won't MCA release One More From The Road on CD as it was originally released, with T For Texas and Travellin' Man?
