[LostInAnomie]

Because two words are better than one.

11. Free Bird?

[Initech]

12. Pretentious wankery

[1000evorlrak]

13. Ironic.

Think about it, a band plays a song named "Freebird" for a fallen friend of the same name. Then dies in a plane crash.

[Sugar Smack]

"ass"

[Burma Jones]

18. Ho

Hum

[Whisp]

19. Freebird done in Duets, the movie

was quite well done I thought.
but I'm partial to that movie - karoaki theme with Gwenyth Paltrow, Hughie Lewis and Paul Giamatti (just love that guy, he is beautiful)

some great singing, and mostly all done by the actors themselves. great version of Try a Little Tenderness.

28. Wynonna Judd.

She covered Freebird on one of her albums.

Worst. Cover. Ever.

[Bennyboy]

34. Wynonna kills it here.....

with Phish, Sam Bush, Del and Ronnie McCourey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32jEcI6n-Rc

[intheflow]

35. You'd think company like that would refuse to play it.

I'm glad I didn't pay to see that performance.

[Bennyboy]

36. It is considered a top ten All time Phish show.....

Phish does an acapella version of Freebird that is incredible. Funny, weird and kicks ass.....

[Tommy_Carcetti]

42. Actually, worst cover ever goes to....

...the excrement of a "band" called Korn, and what they did to Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall."

But Wynonna's is pretty bad.

43. Totally Sucks

[Tyler Durden]

44. Irritatingly Inane.

Apologies to any of you "DIE HARD" fans, but Lynyrd Skynyrd jumped the shark so many years ago that this is the shark it jumped:

46. Yankees misunderstand.

Sure, it's overplayed, but that's 'cause it's so darned good. Sappy, yes, but Van Zandt pulls off the trick of singing off-key and making it work. It wouldn't have sounded nearly as good sung on pitch.

Great guitars, too.

No offense meant, Yankees. I really do understand how someone could hate this song; it just comes from the right period of my youth that it will remain special to me. I loved Skynyrd--the Confederate flags, it seemed, were only in the audience--until they caught the Charlie Daniels disease and went uber-Christian.

47. Major Suckage. n/t

[northzax]

48. aural porn

[supernova]

49. Over. Played.

on classic rock stations. Seriously, FB one of the reasons I stopped listening to the radio with any seriousness of keeping up with current music sometime in the mid-90s and started collecting my own MP3 files. I'd heard FB and STH way too many times.

It's a good song and worthy of remembering a dear friend, but I've simply heard it way too many times.

51. Stoner Anthem

Also one song that is part of the soundtrack of my life.


I dunno if anyone but me sees it this way, but I kind of look at my life and certain songs were a huge part of that particular phase, just like the soundtrack from a movie. Songs also from around that same time in my life would be Nazareth's entire Hair of the Dog album, anything by Edgar Winter, the Allman Brothers, Charlie Daniels, Marshall Tucker and, of course, Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith. (I graduated High School in 1978 so you can pretty much guess what we did for recreation back then...)

I don't know, I don't MIND it . . . sometimes, it's just 15 minutes longer than it should be.
