Yes, I am glad you are no longer entertaining racist lyrics. Below are some of the lyrics...the reference to Neil Young criticizing the South’s racism is obvious...one can likely make out which Governor they’re singing about...
I actually went to a Lynard Skynard concert back not too long ago...then, I’d no idea about the lyrics...but what was rather odd (or maybe not), was that in a campus of about 15% African-Americans, there was no African-American attending the massive concert...this concert was held a couple of blocks away from where the old segratationist Alabama Governor George Wallace stood blocking the entrance and refusing to let the Black students into the university as per the Federal Government orders...


Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again
And I think its a sin, yes

Well I heard mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don’t need him around anyhow

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I’m coming home to you

In Birmingham they love the governor
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I’m coming home to you
Here I come Alabama...

Sweet home Alabama
Oh sweet home baby
Where the skies are so blue
And the governor’s true
Sweet Home Alabama
Lordy
Lord, I’m coming home to you
Yea, yea Montgomery’s got the answer

Wajahat,

Are you sure Slash did wildhorses on snakepit? Which album ar you talking about? It’s not on aint life grand or its 5’o clock somewhere. Perhaps it’s another one.

Anyway, here’s my recommendations:

Guns n Roses - Sweet Child o mine, Patience, Double talkin Jive.
Red Hot Chilli peppers - Scar Tissue, Blood Sugar Sex Money.
Jimi Hendrix - Cross Roads.
Slash’s snakepit - Beggars and hangars.
Stained - It’s been awhile; can’t believe.
Velvet revolver - Slither
Metallica - Nothing else matters
Lenny Kravitz - Are you gonna go my way.
T-Rex - 20th Century Boy, Children of the revolution, metal Guru
Nirvana - Smells like teen spirit; Come as you are.
Prodigy - Climbatize.
Kishore Kumar - Sajan balma...okay that last one was made up.

Lately, RABBI the album by Rabbi Shergill. Buy it, Sufiana.

Bulla, ki jaana main kaun
Bulla, ki jaana main kaun

Na main moman vich maseetan
Na main vich kufar dian reetan
Na main pakan vich paleetan

Na main andar bed kitaban
Na main rehnda bhaang sharaban
Na main rehnda mast kharaban

Na main shadi na ghamnaki
Na main vich paleetan pakeen
Na main aaabi na main khaki

Na main aatish na paun
Bulla ki jaana main kaun

Na main arabi na lahori
Na main hindi shehar nagaori
Na hindu na turk pashauri

Na main bhet mazhab de paya
Na main aadam hawwa jaya
Na koi apna naam dharaya

Avval-aakhar aap nu jana
Na koi dooja hor pacchana
Maithon na koi har syana

Bulle shauh Kharha hai kaun
Bulla ki jaana main kaun

Wajahat:
In the 70’s, Neil Young sang a song titled the ‘Southern Man’. It criticized the racist spirit of the South. It was in retort to this that a group of Southerners (Lynard Skynard) came out and attacked the Californian through the melodious tune of Sweet Home Alabama. One should be mindful of this fact when listening to it (and recommending it)! Or one can avoid thinking about the lyrics and their obvious implications. I know you will say ‘Chill Rozaiba!’ but such racist lyrics simply cannot be overlooked!

Del Amitri’s tune was used to great effect in this small time movie Boys (’93 i think) with Winona Ryder.

The guy got up after a night out in the wide open, everything was lost , the carnival around him was gone, the girl he made out with the nigt before, she was gone the morning after... and he was left alone to find his way back to Reality...
