Agreed.

Hmmmm, comparing their CD's, I'd say Johnny's got a better voice than
Ronnie, and Johnny's phrasing's slightly better. As for songwriting, I
don't think they'll come up with something like Alabama, or Freebird,
but besides that, not much difference. Otherwise, I can't judge
them, as I've only seen Skynyrd II on TV.... :-(
