    That’s not a hard choice. Have you ever been to Alabama? Nobody wants to be there, not even the natives. Well, at least the ones that aren’t inbred.

    Caroline, every time. Easy choice.

    Sweet Home Alabama really grinds my gears. Neil Young sings about systemic racism in the south and Skynard retorts ‘yea some people here are racist ♪ but not all of us are ♪ frig off Neil Young♪ whoa now look at the sky’. Horse shit lyrics, sick composition.

      Now Watergate does not bother me, uh-uh

      Jesus Christ, my eyes are now open.

      Where the skies are so blue (and the governor’s true)

      I unironically had no idea.

      I hate it too, but in it’s defense I think it’s mostly just over played. That riff is kinda sick.

        Lol, when I describe the song to people what I say is almost verbatim: “it sounds like they stumbled upon one really solid guitar riff and were like, fuck it, play that shit for the next 4 minutes! Umm is that gonna be enough for a song? Who gives a shit!”

        So yeah, the riff is pretty good
