It's March Bandness and tonight we're pitting AC/DC against Lynyrd Skynyrd, So who is who? One of our bands had a prophetic song written as a warning meanwhile the other band’s song of condemnation is more about the rigors of touring. Think you know who is who?  Guesses??

So who saw it coming? That would be Ronnie Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd who was inspired after a night of partying that ended in a band member wrapping his car around a tree. The song he wrote was the cautionary song ‘That Smell’ with the haunting line "tomorrow might not be here for you” He said, “I had a creepy feeling things were going against us, so I thought I'd write a morbid song (as a warning)."And he wasn’t wrong, three days after the album dropped several members of the band were killed in a horrible plane crash.  That makes the guys singing about the hardships on the road to be AC/DC. Angus Young is credited for writing the guitar riff which became an instant classic. AC/DC had made several studio albums before and were constantly promoting them via a grueling tour schedule, referred to by Angus Young as being on a highway to hell. So who will take the March Bandness Crown?

Here are tonight's songs:
