Members kayd_mon Posted January 10, 2014 Members Share Posted January 10, 2014 Hmmm... Well the Freebird solo alone would make me want to rank any band above Skynyrd. That's my least favorite moment in music history. I do like the Allman Brothers first album (which I have) better than all the Skynyrd stuff I've heard on the radio, for whatever that's worth.

Members Bucksstudent Posted January 10, 2014 Members Share Posted January 10, 2014 I remember being very rejecting of both the Allmans and Skynyrd when I was first beginning to get really into music. Every R.E.M. biographer had to be a jerk-off and bash them in some way. I still don't understand why. So, I had a cool seventh grade teacher who told me to buy Eat a Peach, which blew my mind. I was still iffy on Skynyrd, though. My uncle set me straight and told me to buy the first two albums, which I loved. Interestingly enough, I've not met many fans who weren't camo-wearing greatest hits fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kayd_mon Posted January 10, 2014 Members Share Posted January 10, 2014 Don't get me wrong - I don't think Skynyrd sucks, and I borrowed one of their albums from a friend once and thought it was pretty good. And I even like the first half of Freebird, I just hate the overlong, repetitive solo. Also, I prefer the Allman album I heard to the Skynyrd album I heard. Not that my uneducated opinion counts much, but there it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had Duane lived, they may have gained the recognition they deserved alongside bands like Zeppelin. I mean, they were really moving into a newer, cool direction with Eat a Peach.I can't stand the long "Mountain Jam," though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BeanoBoy Posted January 10, 2014 Members Share Posted January 10, 2014 Dave had a similar post a few years back. Being a native Floridian ( which I have recently migrated to), he may be a bit biased? I like Skynyrd ( Second Helping, One More From the Road and the Steve Gaines inspired Street Survivors my favorites) but The Allmans' first four albums were major influences on me. I'm probably biased as well, I was at the Live at the Fillmore show in NYC WAY back. Elvin Bishop opened followed by The Brothers with Johnny Winter And the headliners.

Members kayd_mon Posted January 10, 2014 Members Share Posted January 10, 2014 I like the jazz influences you hear in Allman Brothers. Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how my seventh-grade teacher sold me, because he called Eat a Peach jazzier than much of their earlier material, but Duane was definitely all over the place. I think he gets more credit for slide playing, but his non-slide playing was phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to check out Sea Level. They're kind of a fusion byproduct of a rift in the Allman's mid-70's lineup. Jaimoe is a sick drummer. I'd like to see Skynyrd's drummer try to groove like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaveAronow Posted January 10, 2014 Author Members Share Posted January 10, 2014 No, one life. Subjective suggests opinion. Things can only be one or the other, facts or opinions. Examples of opinions would be things like everyone elses statememts in this thread Examples of facts would be all my statements in this thread See how that works? Hope that clears it up for you. Let me know if I need to explain further. Glad to help.. .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaveAronow Posted January 11, 2014 Author Members Share Posted January 11, 2014 I didn't say rap, hiphop, or blues were not"important", idiot. I just said I'm not a big fan of them. Don't go out of my way to listen to them, and when I do, I don't listen for very long before I find something I prefer. Has nothing to do with "important". ::eyeroll:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaveAronow Posted January 11, 2014 Author Members Share Posted January 11, 2014 Thank, Ill take that as a compliment, seing how as, other than Latka Gravis, I never found Andy Kaufman even remotely witty or humorous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the criteria for finding Kaufman humorous is that you read books on a semi-regular basis. We call it "pumping iron for the mind." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
