It's a Lynyrd Skynyrd on a pole bra and panties death match.

I didn't give a shit about "Freebird" until I saw The Devil's Rejects. Now I love it.

all lynyrd skynyrd songs are gay, but i voted for "sweet home" because of the way they say "turn it up" at the beginning.

Freebird most definitely!
Of course Bo Bice nearly ruined it for me when i saw him do it on American Idol. But its okay cause i saw Skynyrd on Austin City Limits the next day and they rocked it... even though they arent the original members... and they are still all real old.

They both suck, but SHA sucks marginally less. I hates me some Free Bird.

I'm with the Doctor on this one. But whether or not its relevant, I saw Joni Mitchell way back in the late 70s and someone (OK a friend of mine) had this habit of yelling "Freebird" out to whomever was on stage (a practice somehow very popular. His victims included Maynard Ferguson, the Talking Heads, and - god bless them - the Boston Symphony). Anyway, Joni was the only one to respond, looking up in his general direction and declaring "I ... don't ... do ... that ... one".
...guess you had to be there.

they could've responded more negatively. at least they didn't pull a bill hicks on the freebird hecklers.

Sweet Home is just more interesting especially since it takes a potshot at Neil Young.

Apparently, anytime someone yells out "Freebird!" at a Kid Rock concert, he plays it in full. IIRC, this includes more than once per show, if the situation arises. I do not remember where I heard this, though.

this is an unfair question. it's like asking "Which is better; eating a bowl of cat vomit or a bowl of abortion?"

That would be hilarious to just yell FREEBIRD! as soon as he finishes playing it, then again, etc. The downside would be that you'd have to hear kid rock playing freebird all night.

This poll lacks the "both are shit" option.

All the shit-talkers in this thread are northeasterners, Canadian, or British. Skynyrd isn't for you.

Right. Taste isn't for the south, either.

the upside would be you wouldn't have to hear shitty kid rock songs though.
of course, hypothetically speaking and all, why the fuck would we be at a kid rock show in the first place? geez.

Sometimes your hypothetical girlfriend is all hypothetically pissy and has hypothetically poor taste and drags your hypothetically whipped ass to the hypothetical Kid Rock show.
You know how it (hypothetically) is.
