I've been incredibly intrigued by the whole story of Skynyrd since listening to them, and I just can't process how a plane could run out of fuel on such a relatively short flight. It's a story that I can't get enough of - information wise. I remember when Stevie Ray Vaughan died in the helicopter crash. I was a freshman in high school, and so many people were distraught

QuoteElmo Lewis QuoteVoodooLounge13 It must have been something to see the original Skynyrd back in the day!!!! I’m sure they were amazing. I see they’re touring this fall with ZZ Top on the Sharp Dressed Simple Man Tour. Love that! Lol. Might be a good way to catch ZZ. Imagine they’d both be pretty darn good with all the hits.

From U to B&L, and including live albums, for me, I think B2B is the best cover. I'd go something like this for my Top 5: Bridges Live Licks (unedited, though collecting all the various versions was fun!) Steel Wheels Stripped Voodoo

So drawing to the end of Skynyrd's catalog, and I'm struck by a few things.... 1. There is an uncanny resemblance to the Stones, in that really Skynyrd's musical legacy stopped in 1977. Many on here argue the Stones stopped in '78. Certainly their last #1 was in 1978. These are two bands that have largely been touring on past laurels for decades as many say 'round t

Is that cover image an outtake from Beyonce's cover shoot?! LOL I'm confused - so are the 3 albums they're released so far all self-released albums?

Thinking about it more, they are a band that grew and evolved without trying to stay trendy (ahem MJ), and most of their stuff is great!!! They certainly tossed off the comparisons/complaints of impersonation and developed into their own sound and selves.

Agreed GLS!!! For me, their Top 3 are: Frost Southern By Your Side Matter of personal taste I'm sure, as Warpaint, Amorica, and Moneymaker are also great. Really, other than the lil covers ep, I think their weakest album is Snakes. Lions being a close 2nd, but I enjoy the sound of the different direction they took on that one quite a bit......

Where are they going? It's just the 2 of them at this point. They've given us some divine music over the years, but that last lil covers ep was rather forgettable. The VINYL of Before The Frost...Until The Freeze is quite possibly one of THE best albums ever recorded. I just listened again the other day. Absolutely exquisite. Appaloosa is one of my all-time favorite songs by anyone

Very sad news. All of a most talented band are now no longer with us. I've only had their Gold & Platinum album, but since this news broke, I've been listening to all of their albums, and those early albums are all great. The Last Rebel (the one I'm currently listening to) is also a nice album!!! Man, these guys could really play. I think I enjoy them more than The Allman

While I understand that GHS is not as monumentally powerful an album as the revered Big 4, I have always felt that it was tremendously undervalued, underrated, and under-appreciated.

They are one band I've never really been able to get into. Really dug the debut album, and maybe 2 songs? thereafter. Grohl was a great drummer in Nirvana, and I loved his song, Marigold.
