Propaganda: They're not exactly like any other 80s band at the time. They're older, they're in their prime, and they're not bound by any contracts- they just want to record music and have fun together, and they have so much love and respect for each other, and you can feel it in the songs they make. (Plus, I think everyone's had a crush on at least one of them- I know I have.)

fun facts
Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote Sweet Home Alabama in response to Neil Young's song Southern Man, which condemned the racism and history of slavery in the American south. Lynyrd Synyrd wanted to show rock fans that the south had good things about it as well
The label initially rejected Free Fallin'. Tom Petty waited 6 months then brought it to them again, and they loved it
