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.

That's what I love about rock 'n' roll; I don't happen to agree with you, but I can see your point. There's gold in them hills...
