What's your favorite Skynyrd song?

I have to admit that the guitar playing in Lynyrd Skynyrd left a big impression on me when I was growing up, listening to their stuff and trying to copy their licks.
The song that made the lasting effect on me all these years had been the song "I Know a Little" The intro and solos in this song are just amazing, and still impress me to this day. It's such a cool mixture of jazz-influenced blues lines with lot's Dixie sounding style to it. I'm still impressed by the solos in Sweet Home Alabama as well. What I like most about these solos is that it isn't cliche blues playing within just one tonal center, but the solos follow the changes really well. You can tell that these guys are really playing off the changes and not just flying away with one blues scale. Great playing!

+1 This is by far my favorite of theirs. It is also one of the few I'm not sick of hearing.

Absolutely! I love this song.

If only one, I'll go with Simple Man, but I love a lot of their songs.

I Know a Little.

Can't beat that swingin' bass line.

I Got the Same Old Blues is a great one that is not so overplayed as the others (though I like the others too).
