Guilty Pleasures!!!!!

[OverHillandDale(Admin)]

True confession time. I've lived in the South most of my life, save a couple years as an infant across the seas in the land of Burgandy and Champagne, and 4 years in Siberycuse, NY at college.

Just yesterday I picked up my first recordings of Lynard Skynard, a best of collection. And I'm really enjoying it.

Come on folks - get those lighters out - FREE BIRD!!!! WHOOOO!

But also remember Gimme Three Steps, Sweet Home Alabama, Saturday Night Special, Honky Tonk Night Time Man, What's Your Name, One More Time. Just to name a few.

I was always an Allman and Dead fan and kind of poo pooed the skynard fans as too mainstream. They were the KISS of Southern Rock, if you will. But ya know, they could still rock.

But I think I'll slip into some Captain Beyond to cleanse myself (mostly recorded in Macon, Georgia - home of Capricorn Records.)

There's a great line in Night at the Museum where Ben Stiller is breaking up the fight between the civil war figurines and tries to console the South by saying You guys got the Allman's!. So very true.

I was always impressed by how mythic Skynard was on Long Island. Never really understood it myself but you couldn't miss it.

Never thought of that stuff as guilty pleasures...just good rock. I esp like "That Smell". Very well written song and I always crank it...

Molly Hatchet's first record is a classic. Somewhere, maybe on this thread, Jim has said he likes that one too...
