Greatest Lynyrd Skynyrd Songs
ZezerexThe Top Ten

If you don't know this song, you don't know the rock! - Teo2390
Best song I've listened to so far. Great music and great lyrics, and the solo at the end part is definitely one of the best ones I've ever heard. Then I read about everything that happened to the band members and it is so sad. They should've been around much longer
Cool Slide Guitar and very nice solo with two guitars at the end!
This is bland dad rock. Go listen to alternative music like Halsey or Lean.

Best Song Ever, makes my Heart Melt, just listening to this song takes me to Alabama. This Should be in number one!
Good classical number... Would like to listen more from this band... Feel great when listen em all alone and sober
Lynyrd Skynyrd's best, must be number 1, Free Bird is great but Sweet Home Alabama takes the prize for me, seamless, fantasical and sublimely-composed are the list of three words which describe this song. Rock on L-S!
This is the best and most popular song, I have never heard about free bird before

Simple Man. The song that non-superficial fans of Lynyrd Skynyrd think of when they think about the band. While "Freebird" and "Sweet Home Alabama" are good songs in and of themselves, "Simple Man" is in a league of its own. It says everything that needs to be said, and is a true pouring-out of the heart by Van Zandt. A classic.
My all-time favorite song. Nothing will ever top it in my mind.
An amazing song of wisdom and hope for any young man. This one stirs your soul. Great solo and bridge.
This is to all the only sons out there.

This song is beautifully performed, the guitar is very well played, and this song always reminds me of sitting in a car, going along the road while its raining. Once again, this song is amazing and am surprised that this song is not number one.
The only reason this song isn't number one is because nobody has listened to it. A lot of their "online" fan base ( I use that word carefully ) has stumbled across the first 3 songs ( Free Bird, Sweet Home Alabama & Simple Man ). They are great songs in their own perspective but this tune... Is the good stuff.
This is my favorite song of all time. It displays the hardship of loss in such a beautiful way. Ronnie sings mournfully, but still with anticipation of the future. Their best song by far...
Happy Gilmore!

Ahh... Great song, the first billion times I heard it... But, you can't tell me there aren't at least a dozen greater Skynyrd songs than this... If I never heard "3 Steps" again, I'll be happy.
Should be higher up on list

The culmination of all the unique qualities that made Skynyrd special: The prominent punch of Leon's bass with AP's rolling drums, the genuineness of Ronnie's lyrics, the unbelievable guitar work throughout and the girls singing for emphasis in the background make this song their greatest. The definitive Skynyrd song that NO ONE would even consider attempting to cover, much like Saturday Night Special.
Excellent and energetic
May not be their best, but it is certainly my favorite. I also love Saturday Night Special. - AlteredState

"...little girl what's your name? "
Answer: I am a gal named Huh. - Britgirl

This song is the best

Blown away chills the first time I heard this... And probably the same every time afterwards. Amazing underrated guitar work and singing. One of the best.
So difficult to choose as so many. This is distinctive Skynyrd - not just song as Ronnie so well backed up by the Honkettes, but instrumentally as well. I love Freebird and SHA but about time those yet to get fully into Skynyrd enjoyed the wider catalogue.
The Contenders

I love this song. it's a great ballad. - jwileson
That keyboard solo... WOW Billy Powell rocks
Definitely top 5. Great song couldn't ask for more.
My favorite song song all time

Man listen to this one from their album god guns!
This is absolutely their best and its the most amazing lyrics ever by lynyrd skynyrd!
I'm sure you guys will vote after listening to this one!
Just hear it once!
I love that song. This song makes me something lonely. When I listen to that music, I miss someone. I don't know who is appeared in my mind, boy or girl? I think it may be a girl. I sometimes cry when I listen to that music.
Beautiful lyrics
This is like motivation song. :-)
The best song with Johnny Van Zant his brother Ronnie would be proud R.I.P. - christangrant

Best skynyrd guitar song

Underrated song, that doesn't get enough air or concert play. But what do I know? All their songs should be played everyday, all the time. Simply awesome!
If you don't think on the hunt is up there and one of the best songs youv ever heard you ain't no fan

That beginning growl is too cool

It is a really good song. Yet really under rated
This masterpiece is just a little display of Gaines incredible composing potential. Cannot listen to this without feeling goosepimples. Wonderful! Thanks Skynyrd for everything!

So underplayed.. This is like the anthem of any down to earth partier
This is their greatest recording. Steve Gaines was a phenom.
As usual another Skynyrd hit! Great Rock and Roll!
This stuff they are turning out today is CRAP!
I've tried listening to it but there's nothing there! NO BEAT, NO LYRICS,
NO ROCK & ROLL,
Steve Gaines enough said.

Great, bluesy opening by Ed, Gary, and Allen
In the top 10!



This is the classic that resonates with me most next to Freebird of course. - theforgiventeen





Good lyrics, great guitars. What else can you ask for in A Skynyrd song.
How is this not top ten? Great tune.

This is what rock'n'roll is all about! Rock on

This song is amayzing! It's way better than sweet home alabama! Please just listen to it and you'll se why it really should be in the top ten!
Such a funky intro! - derekburton9



Every Lynyrd Skynyrd tune is awesome to me, but Swamp music is just one I was surprised was not listed... WHAT THE FUNK GUYS?
Not one person mentioned SWAMP MUSIC. I am, without a shadow of a doubt, Lynyrd Skynyrd's most dedicated fan of all time.
If you don't know this tune, then you're no Lynyrd Skynyrd fan.

This needs to at least be somewhere between 11 and 20.

The best song of Lynyrd Skynyrd - ActOfGenesis
Just epic


If you are a fan, I just don't understand why this isn't in the top ten. Embodies everything about the band.
One of the most overlooked songs ever. Once the chorus kicks in...Epic Ronnie.

25th place? You've got to be kidding me, this is without a doubt the best Skynyrd Song the new lineup has ever released.
This song come with the country rock style, and with riffs amazing


Is the best song

A very underrated song that of course wasn't on the list. This is definitely one of their best modern songs. - ACDC-
