I think Skynyrd is classic, I really haven't heard everything by Deep Purple Thin Lizzy and Steely Dan but they have these odd songs. Every so often I hear a song maybe during a recorded concert on cable etc I haven't heard before and think it's "meh." I wonder because it didn't get airplay it sounds mediocre or does it sound mediocre because it didn't get airplay and I'm not fimiliar with it. Radio is ok in the car but it has it's faults like playing a band too much, or not at all.
I skipped over getting into bands like The Who, Pink Floyd, because they got so much airplay that I wanted to look for other less fimiliar music. Ernie Kovacs once said "Hollywood has one formula: if it works then beat it to death." That's true about radio, maybe that is what happen to Skynyrd.
