Lynyrd Skynyrd: Classic or Dud?

Don't see this mentioned yet--my favourite:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwQgHxbjibo

GAH why is Free Bird's extended version the only grayed-out track on Skynyrd's Innards on Spotify! Jerx.

I love the alternate version of "You Got That Right", on the Street Survivors re-release. It just has a more "rough & tumble" feel.

"Extended version"? Yikes...longer than Berlin Alexanderplatz, I bet. (Not a knock on the song, which I love.)

Here's that Pitchfork hackjob: http://web.archive.org/web/20040723103918/http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/top/solos/

who the eff is Michael Sandlin? (apparently it's originally from 1998, and then re-run in 2004 just to be cheeky.)

hey there fella with the hair colored yella

God that Pitchfork list is just...ngggahhhhh

yeah man that made me real angry

what kind of monster doesn't like "mandecello" by cheap trick????

Michael Sandlin seems like a miserable provocateur who probably lives under an overpass in Indianapolis now and sucks dick for cigarettes.

ACE OF SPADES FFS.

The fact the guy runs down Rory Gallagher as "soulless" makes me think this list is some kind of joke.

Oh god I didn't get that far

I pretty much stopped caring at "Ace of Spades." I mean, where can you go after deriding that? And it's the first entry.

Magic Man. COME THE FUCK ON.

This is the same guy who put "Supernaut" on his list of Worst Riffs of the Millenium. He has good taste.

The fact the guy runs down Rory Gallagher as "soulless" makes me think this list is some kind of joke.

Seriously, that's some hipster contrarian bullshit.

i'm kind of annoyed w/myself for letting such transparent trolling get to me

Speaking of Skynyrd haters, this profoundly misses the point, and embarrasses itself in the process.

lol I appear to have started a thread about it in 2004: Pitchfork resurrects old feature: 50 Worst Guitar Solos of the Millenium

jesus, i think i just turned to stone reading that.

Dear Ronnie, wherever you are, please avert your eyes.

What. The. Fuck.

What them say. Made it about 2/3 of the way through, and I deserve a fucking medal.

"DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT RONNIE LIKE THAT" *cries*

WTF, is she suggesting she is more southern than Skynyrd?

I mean, damn, that excerpt is stupid on so many different levels.

play it pretty for atlanta

<3

Man, that boy is funky

it's hotter'n a fox in a forest fire

New album now available for pre-order, comes with best T-shirt of 2012.

Yeah, I would wear that with no shame.

wow

but that's the Yankee flag!

branchin' out:

1. Last of a Dyin' Breed
2. One Day at a Time
3. Homegrown
4. Ready to Fly
5. Mississippi Blood
6. Good Teacher
7. Something to Live For
8. Life's Twisted
9. Nothing Comes Easy
10. Honey Hole
11. Start Livin' Life Again

It's actually a pretty good record - I bet xhuxk will love it. Blurs the line between Southern rock and modern hard country, in a non-suck way. My favorite song is "Homegrown."

I can't handle anything after 77...

HEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW

y'all heard saturday night special

what do y'all think about curtis loew

currrrtissss loew was the fiiiinest pickah to evaaaahhh play the blueeeeess

otm

Did you ever see a she-gator protect her young
Or a fish in a river swimming free
Did you ever see the beauty of the hills of Carolina
Or the sweetness of the grass in Tennessee
And Lord I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
I can see the concrete slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes

These idiots would probably be shocked to know how much money Skynryd and the Allmans raised to help Jimmy Carter get elected president. Carter was essentially unknown and they helped a ton.

Plus Saturday Night Special advocates tossing all guns into the sea. Not exactly NRA-friendly. Workin for MCA denigrates the "pencil pushers", which Mitt Romney seems to epitomize.

One could go on and on....

I agree with you completely, but as a footnote, the same could be said for Rick Perry.

looking at them right now...

fkn perfect summer music really, innit? sweating my ass off in the car right now, skynyrd making it tolerable
