Yes I enjoyed watching that doc (I love documentaries). That's how I learned that Lynyrd Skynyrd were part of that southern style of music (before that I always thought there were some country/folk band). I just don't like old music (country, blues, folk, jazz, and I guess anything else that Morrissey would probably like). I grew up listening to electronic, indie, goth music and so on. My ears just won't accept anything else.Have you seen the 2013 documentary Muscle Shoals? Kind of made me a fan of all that Muscle Shoals shit.

No 2 of my most hated song is Hotel California by Eagles. I have an interesting story. I used to live in an apartment that was adjacent to a family home. The people who lived in that house used to come home drunk at 2 o'clock and play loud (muscle shoal) music. Well, one night they played Hotel California and after about 4th time, my upstairs neighbour finally opened the window and yelled at the top of his lungs: Shut the f*** up! The upstairs neighbour's name was Roden T. So we just called him rodent. Anyway...
Oh, good to know. But he likes country, why else he would do a cover of Waylon Jennings?I can't get into that style of music either. Country boy / redneck blues. Morrissey said some where that he didn't like Jazz and I'd bet my life he's not a Lynyrd Skynyrd fan.

Lynyrd Skynyrd is definitely redneck rock IMOCountry music from way back he may like some of it. His nephew is married to the granddaughter of a country music legend so maybe he's been introduced to the golden oldies through her. We know he definitely likes rockabilly: Ricky Nelson, Elvis Presley. I'd be willing to guess his record collection doesn't include a large amount of country music though. When I said country boy / redneck blues (tho I should have said rockin' roll blues) I was referring to bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd. Two totally different styles of music. Not saying he has impeccable taste but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't find him covering Sweet Home Alabama.

Sweet home Alabama is just a Super catchy song and good for that alone. Don't know about much of there other music but the category of southern rock has some good moments. Credence come to mind
Off course you are absolutely right. It is a super catchy song. I just did not like it because it was more or less a reaction on the sentiment displayed by Neill Young in a song previously about the police killing 4 students at a demonstration at the university in Ohio.
(Students, black people, muslims, jews, gay's, Christians, any minority group is still a target for police brutality, anywhere in the world. Nothing has changed)
That song was a a lot on the radio and it mentioned Alabama. I don't know for sure if it was also titled Alabama. The chorus was something like: "Four dead in Ohio" and if I remember correctly there was "Alabama, you've got the weight on your shoulder, it's breaking your back".
I agree with you about Credence Clearwater Revival. They were great!
I really liked " fortunate son " and the more rebellious songs they did. Not the mellow ones.
I like a lot of music from New Orleans, Louisiana.
Allen Toussaint, Doctor John the Nighttripper and especially the Meters.
They were f***ing great!
