neil young or lynard skynard

[Fengzi]

I can't stand either. Lynard Skynard, Neil Young, The Allman Brothers, The Grateful Dead, Simon & Garfunkel and Bob Dylan should have been involved in a murder-suicide pact years ago. Music would have been WAAAAAAYYYYY better off for it. Fucking jackoffs.

Probably a big American Idol fan. Some people have no taste.

Anyhow, comparing Skynyrd to Neil Young is like comparing apples to oranges. They're so different. Both are great though.

Incidentally, I don't think Skynyrd cared much for Neil Young

" Well, I heard Mister Young sing about her.
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down.
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
a southern man don't need him around anyhow."

i believe that was the point....they are so different, so your preference says something about you, like cats or dogd, or chocolate or vanilla and, yes, apples or oranges....
skynard.....neil youngs voice is awful...

His Buffalo Springfield stuff kicks ass. If you like psychedelic ballads you got to get their 1967 album and listen to â??Expecting to Flyâ?�, one of the greatest songs ever written.

By the way the guys in Skynyrd were Neil Young fans, they just had a friendly rivalry going on. They were often seen with Neil Young T-Shirts on in concert. The song â??Alabamaâ?� (quoted above) was written in response to Youngâ??s hit Southern Man.

Huh, I knew that part of Sweet Home Alabama was in response to Southern Man but always assumed they hated each other.

The other interesting thing about "Sweet Home Alabama" was that Skynyrd wasn't even from Alabama. They were all from Jacksonville Florida. They just wrote the song to honor the recording studio in Muscle Schoals that helped them get their start.

Even more useless Skynryd trivia: The name Lynryd Skynryd came from their high school gym teacher- Leonard Skinner. Apparently they hated the guy and did it as a joke.

"It is a popular belief that the country rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote their song "Sweet Home Alabama" as an attack on Neil Young for the opinions expressed in "Southern Man". In actuality, Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote their song as a response, showing the good things about the South. Young was even friends with the members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, saying that he is a fan of both "Sweet Home Alabama" and Ronnie Van Zant, the lead vocalist for Lynyrd Skynyrd. Young has been known to play "Sweet Home Alabama" in concert occasionally. To demonstrate this camaraderie, or perhaps as a mocking gesture, Van Zant frequently wore a Neil Young Tonight's the Night t-shirt while performing "Sweet Home Alabama"."

Neil Young also wrote a song called "Alabama" at about the same time.

Oh Alabama
The devil fools
with the best laid plan.
Swing low Alabama
You got spare change
You got to feel strange
And now the moment
is all that it meant.

Alabama, you got
the weight on your shoulders
That's breaking your back.
Your Cadillac
has got a wheel in the ditch
And a wheel on the track

Oh Alabama
Banjos playing
through the broken glass
Windows down in Alabama.
See the old folks
tied in white ropes
Hear the banjo.
Don't it take you down home?

Alabama, you got
the weight on your shoulders
That's breaking your back.
Your Cadillac
has got a wheel in the ditch
And a wheel on the track

Oh Alabama.
Can I see you
and shake your hand.
Make friends down in Alabama.
I'm from a new land
I come to you
and see all this ruin
What are you doing Alabama?
You got the rest of the union
to help you along
What's going wrong?

American Idol, Lynyrd Skynrd and Neil Young are all the same to me: garbage.

The closest you would agree with me is that all pre-Afterburner ZZ Top is awesome. Not a cultural pinnacle by any means, but quite entertaining nonetheless.

Here are some people/bands that actually contributed to music:
Hank Williams *Senior*
Marty Robbins, especially his work on "Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs"
Patsy Cline
Buddy Holly
Chuck Berry (got to see him play once. OMG!)
The Velvet Underground
Johann Sebastian Bach
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Marvin Gaye
Sam Cooke
Bob Marley
Peter Tosh
Jimi Hendrix

I could keep going, but I don't have to.

BTW, Eric Clapton and the Beatles suck, too.

I'm just wondering why you say Eric Clapton sucks? I can understand someone saying the Beatles and Skynyrd sucking (although I don't agree), but Clapton?

[Tomorrow Never Knows]

the Beatles suck

Do you have any reason for saying this? When you say something like that you have to back it up with something. If you don't you just sound like a dumbass. Same thing goes for dissing The Dead, Simon & Garfunkel and Bob Dylan.

Argue your point man Lou Reed, Sterling Morrison, Mo Tucker and John Cale (and NICO!) > Lennon, Harrison, Starr and McCartney. Go ahead.
