Why they might be annoying:

    Leonard Skinner, was Van Zant's despised high school gym teacher (he punished long haired students).
    They are from Jacksonville Florida, although fans thought they were from Alabama (due to their hit).
    They are into drinking and partying.
    Van Zant wanted to quit the band but stayed on reluctantly.
    Van Zant and Steve Gaines died, the rest of the group were injured in a plane crash (October 20, 1977).
    'Street Survivors,' was released three days before the crash with a cover of photo of the band surrounded by flames (this was changed).
    The band has become a revolving door of musicians and never recaptured their original sound.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They are a three-guitar southern rock purist band.
    'Free Bird', the bands anthem, honors the late Duane Allman.
    The plane crash occured at the height of their career.
    Allen Collins car accident, killing his girlfriend and left him paralyzed from the waist down (1986) and eventually his death at thirty seven (1990).
    Bassist Leon Wilkeson, died at forty-nine of natural causes (July 27, 2001).
    Although from Florida they were inducted into Alabama's Music Hall of Fame (September 16, 2001).
