Lynyrd Skynyrd

Probably the greatest American rock band of the '70s. The first two albums are scandalously beautiful. Then a couple of good albums, but not excellent; followed by a phenomenal double live album and a return to the studio to create the last great record, Street Survivors. The plane crash stopped them at the peak of a short but intense career. Free Bird, Simple Man, Tuesday's Gone, That Smell, Call Me The Breeze, I Need You, Sweet Home Alabama, I Never Dreamed.... a repertoire to envy anyone.
