Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Rock & Roll HOF

[whyskygyrl]

I don't know if any of you on here are Lynyrd Skynyrd fans, hopefully some of you are.
I found this petition started by Charlie Daniels to get Lynyrd Skynyrd inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The band has been eligible for induction since 1999 and they have been nominated every year since but never get inducted. One member from the Rock HOF referred to Skynyrd as "nothing more than the luckiest Bar Band around".

You can read and sign the petition at this link:

Skynyrd did make the Rock HOF nominee list again for 2006, here is a good article about the nominees:
