Are you suggesting that Lynyrd Skynyrd are in some way not awesome?
Fie on you.

ONE SONG IS ENOUGH.

Let's just say
that every time "Freebird" is played on the radio I either have to change the station or leave the vicinity lest violence occur.

The Allman Brothers were similarly dire. And I won't start talking of The Band lest I get really agitated.

I get the impression that you don't like 1970s rock music
You probably ought to stop listening to it.

Not all 70s music
but the whole Southern Rock genre really irritated the fuck out of me. I mean, I can listen to Peter fucking Frampton* and Fleetwood Mac and the Stones and so on, but the drunken stoned-out-of-their-gourds hicks-with-guitars thing annoyed me almost as much as the I-take-drugs-and-make-music-so-I'm-deep thing. Back to my original post, Morrisson took himself far too seriously and crawled up his own anus just before he offed himself. I for one will never miss him.

There are other seminal 70s bands and performers that I think are far better than most of what I find on the radio these days, but a good many of them are extremely overrated. I'd take Green Day over the Marshall Tucker Band any day, and prefer Nirvana over Grateful Dead.
