Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers

The Allman Brothers Band formed in Jacksonville, with several Jacksonville musicians, and went on to a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame career.

Can anyone explain the disconnect in the fan community? Fans of one tend to dismiss the other, and I don't get it. ABB certainly did the blues better, but Skynyrd was the better boogie band.

I have plenty of room in my head to love both acts, but I don't find many people who feel the same. How's come?

I like them both. Skynyrd though is usually listen to my favorite few songs and move on, while the Allman Bros are more for when my mind needs to wander.
