re: Best Lynrd Skynrd song?

Tuesdays Gone
Simple Man
Comin' Home

And I really like Hank Jrs cover of TG

Don't Ask me No Questions
Mr. Banker
(I Got The)Same Old Blues
All I Can Do Is Write About It
On The Hunt

“Mississippi Kid”
“Gimme Back My Bullets"
"Tuesday's Gone"

One of my favorites as well. I also really like Cry for the Bad Man.

Skynyrd has a pretty good catalogue - certainly comparable to even Zeppelin when it comes to singles over the productive period. A little something for everybody. So much attention in pop culture is paid to the 2 giant tracks, Freebird and Sweet Home Alabama (now, looking back, What's Your Name? was actually a higher charting single on the Hot 100 back in the day, but it did not have the staying power or legendary status of Freebird, particularly with longtime fans who attended their live shows), that it is difficult to name another song as their "best", although I have a soft spot for Simple Man, Tuesday's Gone and That Smell.

If I had to pick a "best" song it would be specifically the live version of Freebird in Oakland, at the height of their fame and just a few weeks before the band came literally crashing down:

lots to choose from with no wrong answer IMO but just to be differrent, I'll pick Four Walls of Raiford and Mr. Banker
