    :( They were just lifting off, musically speaking. Would have been great to see where they would have gone had the other members lived.

    The sky was the limit for Ronnie and the band, the addition of Steve Gaines would've taken them to another level. Arguably the worst day in American Rock history.

    This incident and the unfortunate John Lennon incident would be the front runners in my mind for worst day ever in the world of rock. Just as I type this though, some others come to mind as well (the Who in Cincinnati, PJ's incident, etc.).

    Back to Lynyrd Skynyrd... loud and proud band. 'Saturday Night Special' has some of the most ear-pleasing guitar work of all time- you cannot listen to this song at low levels no matter how you try!

    'That Smell' and 'Gimme Back My Bullets' rank right up there as well.

    Ever heard of the day that music died, when the Big Bopper, Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens all died?
