You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

My favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd song is "Gimme Back My Bullets"

to me this is the definitive Lynyrd Skynyrd song.

"Sweet talkin' people done ran me out of town
And I drank enough whiskey to float a battleship around
But I'm leavin' this game one step ahead of you
And you will not hear me cry 'cause I do not sing the blues" - http://bit.ly/ceBRea

I know I would be going with the crowd in saying Sweet Home Alabama or Free Bird, but those two songs are just so great. Great, but not my favorite from Lynyrd Skynyrd. I have always enjoyed the more humorous side to Lynyrd Skynyrd. Yes, Gimme Three Steps and Saturday Night Special. I love these two songs and hearing the lyrics always puts a smile on my face. Essentially I like most of all Lynyrd Skynyrds hits, the guitar solos captivate me while the vocals entrance me.

It's still sad that this happened 33 years ago, I'm sure the band would have captivated us once, twice, even thrice more (even though since the crash the band has gotten back together and played, it's just not the same). RIP.

These guys had enough steam in them to go at least another decade... or... enough to have been who they refer to instead of "Rolling Stones" when they say 'dinosaurs of rock'...

I graduated high School in June of 1977. In August, Elvis died, and then on October 20, three days after the release of "Street Survivor" thier last album, Skynyrd's plane went down and our hearts sank once again.

How ironic that the album cover shows the band members surrounded by flames.

The opening track on that album "What's Your Name", lives on as a tribute to how these young men should have gone on living their lives if not for that fateful accident, and it has always been my favorite.

I included a youtube video of a live performance from July of 1977.

Strangely, the one that always gets me is 'That Smell'. It's a serious warning against drug abuse, which can accompany the pressure of fame. Man, am I a downer.

I can't give you just 1. so here's 2 from this great American party band that has inspired so many musicians over the years. Good music never gets old it only gets found.

My two favorites are "Gimme Back My Bullets" and "Gimme Three Steps" both of which have already been included in video so I will include something different. Ronnie VanZant's daughter Tammy in "Freebird's Child"

Lynyrd Skynyrd made a huge impact on the world of music and it is sad that everything changed so fast.
