I can't believe there isn't a thread on their albums here. Well anyway, I've been "spinning" their 70s albums this week and really enjoying them! The first album ("Pronounced") is really, really good, especially for a debut. Sounds great too - excellent engineering.
I think my favs up to this point are Pronounced, Second Helping, and Street Survivors. My biggest gripe about Street Survivors is the amount of reverb used, but that's just my opinion. Great album. I need to spend more time with Bullets and Nuthin' Fancy.
"Free Bird" jokes aside, its an awesome tune AND it has mellotron on it too! So does "Tuesday's Gone". I guess the biggest surprise for me was noticing the amount of diversity in these albums, coming from only knowing the big radio hits. Count me in as a Skynyrd fan - I didn't see this coming. Ronnie had a unique vision and that cannot be argued.
