While I think CCR is the better, more interesting band, I wouldn't slag Skynard. they're cool. But for that type of music I'd rather listen to the Allman Brothers.

The Allman Brothers are not as akin to Lynyrd Skynyrd as you make it seem, and I would go as far as to say that CCR aren't exactly genre-linked to either band. The brand of Southern rock popularized by Lynyrd Skynyrd, which could be argued as the epitome of that particular genre, placed greater emphasis on country, hard rock, and blues rock elements.

The Allman Brothers incorporated so many elements, particularly instrumentals tinged with jazz, that it almost seems necessary to separate them from subsequent bands which emerged from the South.
