The solo always makes me think of the movie Forrest Gump, when Jenny is coked up and debating suicide off the balcony...A proper solo maybe. A proper song, maybe not!
But yeh amazing solo

Forgive me if my attitude is unpatriotic, but IMO the best music ever recorded has come from the UK...not to say that the US hasn't produced some amazing stuff too. But when I look at my top 20 favorite musical acts, 13 of them are British....and Skynyrd is not even on my top 20 list. Not even sorry. Lol
Good thing we haven't been part of the UK for a bit....
You didn't have to send them back ya know
Well, Skynyrd plays southern rock.
Is not Wiltshire in the south of your home island nation - due west of London?

You did pay them back with the Britpop though.
I'll admit it. I love Freebird. Couldn't listen to it for many years because of the original radio oversaturation, but now I'll crank it up if it comes on the radio. Killer song, beautiful guitar, killer piano on the live versions. Plus the chord progression at the end was one of the first things I learned on the guitar.

In fairness, if it wasn't for the Stones and Beatles you probably wouldn't know about Muddy Waters etc. Jimi Hendrix would probably have never gotten anywhere if he hadn't come to Britain.

None of it would’ve happened were it not for Afro-America.
I'm a tad too young to really remember the British Invasion. I quite like most of the bands that popped up. Then Progressive Rock happened. Best UK export ever.
Skynyrd lost any slight appeal for me long ago. Was never a fan.
Freebird sucks. To me anyway.
Rock with a Southern flavor? The Allman Brothers were the best by a lot. imwo.
A band I was in during the late 70s covered Sweet Home and Freebird. Was fun then, but even they got old after a short time. I still like the Sweet Home quack tone.

I have to agree. My top 5 favorite bands of all time are from the UK - Yes, ELP, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, and Renaissance. That's not to say I don't like any American artists - I do. But I have to say, the UK produced some incredible musical genius'.
