For me, it's Led Zepplin's When the Levee Breaks. The powerful blues beat, intermittant strong guitar solos, the whole feel of the song begs to be heard again and again. My personal favorite Zepplin piece. That, and Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. It was the piece played as my wife walked down the aisle. Hearing it always brings that image back. *sigh* |

Perhaps too is the fact that someone says "Turn it up" on the recording before the song starts. *Subliminal message* Question about that song though: Why does he say bad things about Neil Young? |

In Sweet Home Alabama, Skynard says "I hope Neil Young will remember, the southern man don't need him anyhow." Did Neil Young say something about the South? Also, Skynard says, "Watergate does not bother me, does your concionce bother you?" What does that mean? The president hiring someone to break and enter into his opponents headquarters and steal things don't bother him? Is he saying he has no conciounce? |

The reference to Neil Young is in regards to a song he wrote called "Southern Man". "Sweet Home Alabama" was pretty much a direct response to Young's indictment of the south and racism. |

Thanks Swidden. Very enlightening. I go to the Bridge School Benefit concert every year put on by Neil Young and his wife who runs the school for handicapped kids. Honestly, I am not a big fan of his music, the voice is a bit too whiney for me, but I like the guy personally. Southern Man was probably written though during the terrorism of the KKK during the 60s I imagine. |

I knew about the Southern Man reference, but I don't know what Watergate had to do with George Wallace (I beleive) from Alabama (in Birmingham they love the guvna). They make the Southern Man reference obvious in the song the way they sing it to sound like the Neil Young song. Perhaps they are just unrelated references in the same verse. |

I believe Dire Straights referenced Chicago in Sultans of Swing when they said "he don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band, it ain't what he calls rock and roll". I never knew the story behind that either, though I love the guitar solo in that song. |
