Addictedtoclassic Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 What the f--- is that bulls---? Lynyrd Skynyrd gets screwed again? As if Skynyrd didn't make enough impact on the world of rock 'n roll with songs like Sweet Home Alabama, Freebird, Simple Man, Workin' For MCA, Curtis Loew, Things Goin' On, Saturday Night Special, Call Me The Breeze, One More Time, do I need to keep going with this?

Danielj Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 How do those guys get it (other than U2) ahead of Skynyrd? Skynyrd should have been there the first year they were eligible. The rejectees are twice as good as the inductees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skynyrd has gotten hosed for quite a while now, it's just not right. How did Prince make it in while Skynyrd was left out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windy1 Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 I just heard this today. Skynard has been overlooked for 6 nominated for 6 years in a row, and hasn't got in yet. What is that? There are people in there that I would put Skynard miles above. It just doesn't make sense. I heard it was a southern thing a "dumb hicks" thing, but the Allman brothers are in. They are like the Susan Lucci's of music, 10 times over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosis Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 That's cuz the Allman Brothers are 10 times better than Skynyrd! WHAWHAWHA!! I'm always having this argument with one of my co-workers. Maybe I should start a poll on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 I'm still waiting for Dick Dale to get nominated. Dick Dale is still cranking up the reverb and making me dream of the beach. He deserves something for that. Ever see the movie Back To The Beach. Dick and SRV trading riffs on Pipeline.

Addictedtoclassic Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 The only reason Skynyrd didn't become the biggest Southern Rock band ever was because of the plane crash that killed Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, and Cassie Gaines. After that the band went into "hiding" for about ten years until they asked Johnny Van Zant to take the lead singer and continue the band. Allen Collins was struggling and died not too long ago. The band had some very hard times and things were very quiet during these periods. If that plane crashed never occurred, I feel Lynyrd Skynyrd would have been inducted long ago. In the past few years they have started to make their way back onto the top of the Southern Rock pile. I think we'll see them inducted in the next few years as their popularity starts to grow again.

Addict, you´re so right about Lynyrd Skynyrd... they needed time... but what can we expect from big brains who rejected the above quoted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windy1 Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 The Pretenders are in. I love Chryssie Hynde and the Pretenders but over Lynard Skynard? Is it beacause they are essentally a different band now? I know they have to have been together making music for at least 25 years. Or is that what you just said? :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can if you want, I don't think they ever made a bad song. Undoubtedly my favorite southern-rock band, bar none. They truly had a unique sound unlike the other southern rock bands of the time; Allman Bros., Marshall Tucker, Pure Prairie League, The Outlaws, etc., etc. Their attention to musicianship was outstanding, their seamless instrument harmony was unlike any band I've heard. Skynryd should've been in long ago. Their music will live for ever. I've never grown tired of their classic sound but have grown with it. All-time Skynryd fav song: Tie between Ballad of Curtis Lowe and Cheatin' Woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addictedtoclassic Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 I love the Ballad Of Curtis Loew. But one of my new favorite songs is "One More Time" on the "Street Survivors" ablum that I picked up recently. I guess we'll have to wait for next year...
