On to Round 2 to determine the GREATEST song on Lynyrd Skynyrd's album 'Second Helping'.
Eliminated Round 1 - I Need You, Swamp Music

For anyone new to the game:
You are going to pick the song that you think is the "Weakest Link" after 3 days I remove the two (2) songs with the most votes.
We will then move on to Round 3  - Remember you are voting to eliminate songs from contention.

Lets have fun with this. Remember debating and discussing why your right and others are wrong is always fun.

    Yeah, your choice sucks. One of my favorites on this record.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Any of you that either said you don't like LS at all or are sitting this one out grow up in a rural area? Trying to understand the divide here and I feel like that plays a part.

    I could spit out my back window and if the wind was right it would carry it across the Hudson River and land in midtown Manhattan. I'm a complete outlier here. :rock_on:

    (And my edit made my vote disappear - at least I didn't wind up in quote hell)

    Grew up on the jersey shore. Skynard just isn’t my cup of tea.

    Crap! I missed the first round. For the record, I would have chosen "Swamp Music."

    Love me some Skynyrd. One of the first guitar intros I learned as a youngster belongs to "Sweet Home Alabama."

    Seeing them this summer, too.

    I'll try to answer that, just for the hell of it. Yes and no.

    I grew up in the same house from age 11 months to 18 years (1952 through 1969) thus:

    11 months old to 3 years:  The house I grew up in was on the border of a new suburban neighborhood of cracker-box houses, all exactly alike.  Some roads paved, some dirt.  Poor Native American family on large lot over the fence.  Fields all around, natural creek close by.  Large commercial greenhouses a stones throw away.   There is a traffic light on US Hwy 101.

    Age 3 to 8 or 9:  Most roads became paved, creek became a paved wash.  Indians are gone (probably dead), the property abandoned, later sold to a developer.  Mountain View is literally two doors away and many farms (close to where Shoreline Amphitheater is now) begin to disappear.  Slight increase in traffic. Light on Hwy 101 is gone and it is becoming a freeway.

    Age 8 to 18:  Where Native Americans were, a new two story office building takes their place.  This parcel and other empty ones all around us are now gone, the loss of many great fields full of wild things, farms and orchards.  Greenhouses have been razed and replaces by high density apartments, later to become condos.  Roads are wider and US 101 is a jammed freeway. 

    That same area today  is now part of an endless city. Some of the worlds best soils grow only buildings now.

    What the heck does this have to do with Skynyrd?  :lol:

    It's always seemed sort of like the truest LS song to me though, it's just their bread and butter.

    My Dad is a talented musician and extreme lover of music.  He loves good music of all types.  He grew up rural, but in Ohio.
    I couldn't tell you how many times the record player went straight from Yellow Brick Road to Second Helping.  Or Deja Vú to Harvest to Second Helping.  

    I've found in my life that 100% of the time, when a person refuses a certain type of music as a whole (southern rock, jazz, rap, country, etc) it's because they are unwilling to like it.  "Not my cup of tea" means "I'm not willing to taste it".

    I said the same thing about rap and country when I was a teenager...but I grew up lol

    Don't get me wrong, it's ok to have preferences and not care for sounds and styles.  When you actually give quality stuff outside your menu a taste, you walk away saying, "this isn't really my cup of tea, but they really have talent and clearly write beloved music"

    You couldn't drag me to a show now.  The entire thing has become an exercise in cliché and stereotype.  It's a circus performance for rednecks.  How many real members are even left?  
    I would rather see a LS cover band lol

    Like Radiohead or DMB. I’ve
    listened to both. I even own some albums. I tried, man.
