It's March Bandness and tonight we're pitting Lynyrd Skynyrd against Journey, So who is who?

One of our bands had a hit song with a famous adlibbed line in it while the other has a song whose title and lyrics cause great debate as to what it really means. Think you know who is who?  Guesses??

I’ll start with the adlib. It simply says “turn it up”  and can be heard in the beginning of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ uttered by Ronnie Van Zant in the beginning was not intended to be in the song. Van Zant was simply asking producer and engineer to turn up the volume in his headphones so that he could hear the track better and our debatable title come from Journey’s ‘Stone In Love’ Covered in many chat rooms  my favorite being like a stone when you fall in love you fall hard and fast. A more likely definition comes from writer Kenny Thomas chose the term "stone love" to define the concept of an unchanging bond between one another. A slight variant of that phrase appeared two years later in The Stylistics ' title "I’m Stone In Love With You’ and I imagine that Journey was inspired by them. So who will take today’s March Bandness?
