Do southerns like Lynyrd Skynyrd?!


Question: Well I live in Florida and we have plenty of people from the more stereotypically Southern states to the north of us, and in my experience, if someone has a southern accent there is a 80% chance that they love Lynyrd Skynyrd and a 75% chance that "Freebird" is their favorite song ever and a 25% chance they cry when it comes on the radio.

I almost got pushed off a scaffolding two stories high for saying I prefer anything the Kinks did to Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Edit: Due to thumbs downs and the mention of Ray Davies playing "Freebird" right after calling people who make assumptions ignorant, I hope no one took my answer the wrong way. In my experience people who are proudly southern love Lynyrd Skynyrd, never said anything else about it. And no they're not my cup of tea.

Yep.. alot of rednecks do

Hell yeah they do!! Lynyrd Skynyrd, is a southern rock band!! They have good songs to get wasted to!

Is it any coincidence that the biggest Skynyrd fans I've ever met all have a Confederate flag on at least one item of clothing at all times?

If Southern rock is your thing, you can do better.

NO! i am from the south (sadly.......i cant help who my parents are....im leaving after college....^_^) and i hate lynyrd skynard!.........here in my stinking alabamian redneckie highschool(.......torture.......absolute torture......*shudders*....) there's a few people in my class and in some other classes that dont like them either.....id have to say that about 95% or natural born alabamians like them( I'M NOT ONE OF THEM!!!!)....oh, and i dont have anything personally against the band,(yes im probably going to sound a bit hypocritical, but i dont care....) but i just cant stand how the people who like them(along with other southern bands and country bands and such) act.....theyre just really redneck and drawl their words and only talk about how theyre going to get drunk on weekends or "go a-huntin' ".....theyre just rude........sorry, i was ranting........but to answer your question, no not all southerners like lynyrd skynyd.

Southerners like Molly Hatchet more than Skynyrd usually

I was stationed in Jacksonville, but I've never been particularly fond of them. I will tell you this, however, and this might scare you: I was a member of the Honor Guard when stationed there, and we had to serve at a lot of funerals in Jacksonville Memory Gardens (where Ronnie Van Zant is buried). You would not believe the number of beer and whiskey bottles that we saw left on his grave!

Yeah I'm from Kentucky and I love Skynyrd.

Hey William, I fly My Confederate Flag with pride, and I have an IQ of 173, Thank You.
Don't stereotype, YOU can do better.

Anybody who thinks all Skynyrd fans are ignorant beer swilling rednecks is just showing their own ignorance.
I'd like to see Ray Davies play the guitar sections of Freebird Dan, I'd pay good money to see that.

HECK YES! ^_^

elaborate a little...If you mean do ALL southerners like Skynyrd then I say no. If you mean do southerners like ONLY Skynyrd then I say no. I live in the south and like Skynyrd but there's a ton of other music I like as much or better.

One of my favs
