Putting together the definitive Lynyrd Skynyrd retrospective would be a daunting prospect to all but the most callous of critics who still deny the group their place at the table of rock & roll heroes and innovators. This two-disc, 25-track anthology makes the perfect introductory set to this Southern rock institution, and one great career overview for longtime fans. All the hits like “Sweet Home Alabama,” “Gimme Three Steps,” “Saturday Night Special,” and “That Smell” are aboard, along with “What’s Your Name,” “Workin’ for MCA,” “I Know a Little,” and “Free Bird” in both live and original studio versions. Other highlights include great album tracks like “The Ballad of Curtis Loew,” “Call Me the Breeze,” and “You Got That Right,” an acoustic version of “All I Can Do Is Write About It,” and early demo versions of “Four Walls of Raiford” and “Comin’ Home.” If you’re planning on only making one Lynyrd Skynyrd entry into your collection, this is certainly the one to get. – Cub Koda
