Greatest Lynyrd Skynyrd Songs
The Top Ten
If you don't know this song, you don't know the rock! - Teo2390
The song incarnation of freedom : lyrics about a free bird, a solo that makes you feel like you're flying free. The best song ever to me.
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
Bird
Hands down one of the greatest rock songs
A must listen song! The lyrics are great. If you haven't listened this song you haven't listened to lynyrd skynyrd! I think it's better than free bird..
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.
It’s so perfect
Best Song Ever, makes my Heart Melt, just listening to this song takes me to Alabama. This Should be in number one!
Their best song, Also lynyrd Skynyrd’s most popular song. - MegadethFan07
Good classical number... Would like to listen more from this band... Feel great when listen em all alone and sober
This is the best and most popular song, I have never heard about free bird before
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...
This song just evokes a different kind of emotion. You feel sad and happy at the same time. This song is a beautiful piece of art.
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
The guitar parts are the best they ever did in my opinion
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
Greatest song in the world, should be number 1
This song is EXTREEMLY groovy...
JJ Cale wrote it and performed it, but Skynyrd's version rocks it!
This song is the best
"...little girl what's your name? "
Answer: I am a gal named Huh. - Britgirl
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
My favorite song song all time
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.

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. :-)
Best skynyrd guitar song
yes
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!
Should be in top 5
I love most all their songs but this one really stands out.
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
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 song, a little more produced than most Skynyrd songs, but awesome. The guitar riff in the middle is incredible
It has a lot meaning PERSONALLY!
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
Not just my favourite Lynyrd Skynyrd song, but possibly my favourite song of everyone.
25th place? You've got to be kidding me, this is without a doubt the best Skynyrd Song the new lineup has ever released.
Good lyrics, great guitars. What else can you ask for in A Skynyrd song.
How is this not top ten? Great tune.
Great Skynyrd rocker with some attitude for the man.
RIP Ed King. You made this song, Saturday Night Special, Sweet Home Alabama, and many others sound great. - Gg2000
That beginning growl is too cool
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
Why is this song so underrated? It's amazing, one of my favorites on Second Helping. - Metarock
Its an amazing song and it's so true I could live with hound dogs for the rest of my natural born days
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.
This needs to at least be somewhere between 11 and 20.
Love the guitar solo in it. My personal favorite
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.
It is one my personal top 10.
The best song of Lynyrd Skynyrd - ActOfGenesis
Just epic
Is the best song
This song come with the country rock style, and with riffs amazing
A very underrated song that of course wasn't on the list. This is definitely one of their best modern songs. - ACDC-
