    #7 Skynyrd
    I hope someday Steve Gaines will get the credit he's due for being a fucking rockstar that had a rocket strapped to his back. RIP.

    Easily the hardest vote yet. I love both these bands, but Peg is one of my all time favorites.

    My Kent cred is going to go down, tho.

    I agree, this one was tough. I voted for Lynryrd Skynyrd. They had a huge influence on rock, one that continues to this day, and like it or not, FreeBird is one of greatest rock songs of all time. Simple Man, Gimme Three Steps, That Smell, You got that Right, Sweet Home Alabama .... etc, they cranked out a lot of really good music.

    That said, unless it pops up on the radio, I don't listen to much Skynyrd these days, but when I'm just chillin, I do still listen to a lot of early Steely Dan. As time goes by my appreciation for their music and lyrics grows. As an aside, since @YellowSnow mentioned the origins of the band's name, there's a pretty crazy rendition of William Burroughs during his drug fueled phase played by Ben Foster in "Kill your Darlings", an interesting look at the beginnings of the post war Beat Generation.
