Default Diversify your repertoire

One of my major gripes when it comes to Lynyrd Skynyrd is the selection of songs that are in the main rotation of classic rock radio. Free Bird is a decent song at 5 minutes, at 10:30 I want the south to secede again. Gimmie Two Steps and What's Your Name are the same damn song and both are grating somewhere around the 10,000th play. And the main riff of Sweet Home Alabama is so effed out Stairway to Heaven thinks it's cliche.

This wouldn't bother me if I didn't have a sort of sentimental adoration for the band and somewhere within in me. They didn't suck and they didn't write whining annoying hillbilly music, they were a fast paced, exciting rock and roll band. They have two excellent albums and a place in history for the foreseeable future. So...knock it off DJ's diversify your repertoire

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.
