Free Music Notes for Lynyrd Skynyrd - All Time Greatest Hits
Free Music Review: Good Collection
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great CD for a casual Lynyrd Skynyrd fan wanting to get the basics. if you want to get deeper into Skynyrd, i would suggest "The Essential Lynyrd Skynyrd". If you don't think that the 14+ minute live version of "Free Bird" isn't truely amazing, you must be crazy. Every other one of these songs is a classic and are all great.Free Music Review: southern rock lives

Whenever any band produces a 'greatest hits' album they run the risk of eliminating sales of many of their earlier releases. With this 'greatest hits' I think many of the tracks chosen are really not the best of those particular songs. If you're looking for a great live "Free Bird," it's not here! The positive aspects of this release are the great cross-section of songs chosen, and not the particular rendition. One of the things that sets a band like Lynyrd Skynyrd apart from the rest of the Southern Rock crowd is their musical and lyrical integrity. Tracks that really shine are, "Simple Man," "That Smell" and "Saturday Night Special". This band went way out on a limb with their anti hand-gun track "Saturday Night Special." This song was released at a time when the NRA and the gun lobby enjoyed almost unparalleled influence within the halls of Congress. I think that your money might be better spent by shelling out a couple of bucks more for the 'The Essential Lynyrd Skynyrd' a two-CD set. This set has all the same releases as the 'greatest hits' yet there are almost twice as many tracks for a few dollars more. Many would say the reason why this band was so popular in the seventies; was that they played live and sounded decent, although sometimes fairly raw, when live too. In that vein, you might also want to consider a live release as the best way to really hear what the band could do with their studio material. My pick for the live album would be; "One More from the Road". What makes a choice like this extremely hard is the fact that this band is probably the most over-produced and over-released band in the Southern Rock genre. Amazon alone has over (80) releases listed for sale. Which amounts to a whole lot of redundancy for a band with about (45) songs! Unfortunately, none of the original 1970's releases are still offered here on Amazon as un-remastered original vinyl recordings on CD. If by some chance you have an opportunity to hear this band from a still-good vinyl release, by all means get it to a good sound system and crank it up. But alas, all that may be left is a good bunch of Rice Krispies from vinyl these days? At least with the way we used to treat our records in the 1970's!Free Music Review: Best I've heard of them
Hit: 5 Stars
This was actually the first Lynyrd Skynyrd cd I got. I had previously just been listening to them on Yahoo. But the songs I hadn't heard before blew my mind with the greatness of the guitar and keyboard. The vocals were amazing. The best songs are Freebird, Simple Man, and Saturday Night Special. Don't remember more off the top of my head. Definitely worth a buy.Free Music Review: good, but not there greatest

this is a okay cd, but they need more live stuff and where is Tuesdays Gone? That song should be there, it is right up there with freebird
