Their debut album is a solid recording and a highly important one for the scene and One More From The Road is a superb live album.

Completely agree with you there. One thing I've always admired about them is how consistent they were with their music. They put out a serious amount of hits in their heyday. Hardly ever would you run into a dud on any of their albums. And with the amount of music that they put out, they managed to make their songs all sound a good deal different. Never would you hear a song with a similar riff. And just look how they have survived the test of time.
Its a shame that the "redneck" class has been associated so strongly with Lynyrd Skynyrd. In my eyes you most definitely don't have to be in a Southern or redneck setting to appreciate Skynyrd. They truely were a very innovative and talented group of musicians that brought a lot to the table.
