That Smell - Lynyrd Skynyard

Van Zant was 29 but I'm including him because this song seems to foresee the plane crash

Of course I like Freebird too. But I do hate that they dissed Neil Young in Sweet Home Alabama. I'm not sure I like this vid though they all look like meth heads especially the backup singers. But it features Van Zant

Ronnie Van Zant and Neil were friends from what I understand. I've seen pictures of VanZant wearing a Neil Young Tonight's the Night T shirt

The leads don't have the repetition & cliches found on many of their other songs.
Some really good playing here.
