Though I doubt Skynyrd will get the win, It should get credit as a fantastic Southern Rock album with legends like Simple Man, Free Bird, and Gimme Three Steps.
Return to Cookie Mountain and Dear Science got more critical praise, but I think Desperate Youth Bloodthirsty Babes is ageing far better than either of them. What made Tv on the Radio's music distinct to me is how they mix their vocal harmonies with the lightly electronic/noisy guitar soundscapes (while still writing what are essentially pop songs), and this albums got the most involved use of both.
King Eternal and Poppy are two of my absolute favourite songs ever (King Eternal currently is the most played song in my itunes, Poppy and Dreams are not far behind)
Lynyrd Skynyrd is a perfectly good album as well, but not much chance against tvotr.
I like both bands alright, but haven't heard either album in full. I'm guessing I'd lean more towards Skynyrd just because TV on the Radio isn't really my bag (except for "Wolf like Me"; I love that shit).
