Musician

The Resume

    (September 14, 1949- )
    Guitarist for Strawberry Alarm Clock (1967-1971) and Lynyrd Skynyrd (1972-1975)
    With Strawberry Alarm Clock, recorded the song ‘Incense and Peppermints'
    Featured on the Lynyrd Skynyrd albums ‘Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd,' ‘Second Helping' and ‘Nuthin' Fancy'

Why he might be annoying:

    He was overshadowed by Allen Collins and Gary Rossington in Skynyrd.
    He got the least attention of all of the Skynyrd guitarists.
    His first band, Strawberry Alarm Clock was a one-hit wonder.
    He quit Skynyrd after only three years in the band.
    He only wrote a handful of Skynyrd songs, and half of them were about whiskey.
    Lynyrd Skynyrd often played shows in front of Confederate flags.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He plays the famous opening riff of ‘Sweet Home Alabama.'
    He joined Lynyrd Skynyrd as their bassist, after Leon Wilkeson left the band. When Leon rejoined the band, they liked Ed so much; they let him stay in the band as a third guitarist.
    He was involved in songwriting and helped write ‘Sweet Home Alabama' and ‘Saturday Night Special.'
