I have to say it.....Sweet Home Alabama by Skynard. It's wayyy too overplayed and respected in my opinion. I don't hate Skynard....they have some good stuff but I detest this song. The song's context is a pissoff to many....the whole dissing Neil Young because of his song Southern Man. What Neil said was only truth and these guys took way to much offence to it. To put his name in their music at that time was just tacky. Of course people are going to sing along to it when it comes on at a party or in a bar because everyone knows it but I don't think enough people have actually thoroughly thought about the context and circumstances behind the song.
