Lynyrd Skynyrd/YMMV
- Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: "Simple Man"
- After the tragic plane crash, Neil Young performed "Sweet Home Alabama" on his tour in the victims' honor.
- Epic Riff: "Sweet Home Alabama", "Free Bird", among many others.
- Funny Aneurysm Moment: The band's 1977 album Street Survivors was released three days before the plane crash, and the front cover featured the band standing on a street while flames surround. It was changed shortly after, to a picture of the band standing in a spotlight from the same photo shoot.
- Memetic Mutation: FREEEEE BIIIIIIRD!
- Misaimed Fandom: Their song "Saturday Night Special" is pro-gun control. Considering how many gun-nuts now listen to them...
- "Saturday Night Special" singles out, well, Saturday Night Specials, which are cheap handguns almost exclusively used by criminals and frowned upon by gun-nuts. One of their latest albums is even called "God and Guns," so it's safe to say Lynyrd Skynyrd isn't cutting the Violence Policy Center any checks.
- Tear Jerker: "Free Bird", "Tuesday's Gone"
