Pronunciation system

Which pronunciation system is used in the title? --Abdull (talk) 09:31, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't look like any system I'm aware of (though I'm willing to be educated). To me it looks like nonsense.

Every syllable has a stress mark.
One of the n's is redundant.
The first short vowel has a breve, but the other one doesn't. Also, if the breve is used, there's no need for the h.
As far as I know, no system represents the er sound using an acute accent mark. I've seen it with a schwa, tilde, or circumflex, but never an accent.

Title.

I think it is rather unnecessary to replicate the exact format of the album's title; naming the article simply "Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd" is better IMO, just for aesthetic reasons. —Saltywood ^(talk) 07:15, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That would probably be considered synthesis. ⋙–Berean–Hunter—► ((⊕)) 07:19, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly support the exact format. Or perhaps we should rewrite "A hard day's night" as "A hard days night", too? Both Google and Wikipedia's internal search find the entry with simplified spelling, too, if you consider the actual spelling too hard to compose on your keyboard, so there should be no reason to mangle the title of this album either.

Personnel

"(bass guitar before the album was to cut; rejoined shortly thereafter, so band's photo on the album sleeve includes 7 musicians)" - That bit about Leon Wilkeson could probably be rearranged or removed since most of that information is already mentioned earlier in the article. TakingUpSpace (talk) 08:02, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Huh?

I'd fix this 'Q magazine (May 2002, p. 132) -5 out of 5 stars - "Skynyrd sound full of fire and whisky on their debut set."'If I knew how it was relevant. Plus, It needs a decent ref. and so on. Jim62sch^dissera! 02:25, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How did the parenthetical pronunciation guide become the title of this album?

To look at the album cover, it looks like a typical debut album named after the singer or group who made it, with a parenthetical pronunciation guide to tell people how the band's name was pronounced. How did everyone get to calling this album "(Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd)" instead of just "Lynyrd Skynyrd"? I'm not disputing that people call it that; I'm just baffled as to how it got to be that way. Did the band make an official statement about it? Did people just start calling it that? JudahH (talk) 19:18, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, this misperception (and mistitling) needs to be rectified. It is a self-titled debut album, with a parenthetical pronunciation guide appended. Someone with the capacity of renaming the article should. 24.61.220.85 (talk) 22:59, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The band's website has the title this way: "PRONOUNCED 'LĔH-'NÉRD 'SKIN-'NÉRD." I'd say that settles this question. ^[1] Dgndenver (talk) 09:39, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone resolve this contradiction

Section Overview: "Wilkeson returned to the band towards the end of the recording sessions, having written "Simple Man". "

Section Track Listing: Wilkeson is not listed.

https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Simple_Man_(Lynyrd_Skynyrd_song) Wilkeson is not listed.

Maybe the uncorroborated sentence should just be removed. Yet maybe there was actually some point to be made, suggesting a revision instead?72.190.112.100 (talk) 00:43, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

HUH? 2

"Bassist Leon Wilkeson left the band during the album's early recording sessions after playing on only two tracks. Strawberry Alarm Clock guitarist Ed King was asked to fill in for Wilkeson on bass during the remaining sessions, as Wilkeson already wrote many of the bass parts. This left Skynyrd with only six official members at the time of the album's release. Not long after, King remained with the band, and was made a member, so that they could replicate the triple-guitar lead during live performances. Wilkeson returned to the band towards the end of the recording sessions, having written "Simple Man". "

If Wilkelson left then returned before the end of the sessions how come they ended them a man short? Was the album released before they finished recording it? - I think not! The second sentence is another non-sequiter - the fact the bass parts were already written isn't the reason for needing a bass player... unfortunately I'm not familiar with the actual sequence of events so can't re-write this muddle...

– The group's debut albim was self titled; this is apparently obvious when looking at the side panel of the record jacket, and also the record label. The album cover included a pronunciation note underneath the name of the group, and some mistook that for the album's title. That, , however, is wrong. This was discussed on this talk page a few years ago (see the thread ("How did the pronunciation...") Firejuggler86 (talk) 06:42, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The official band website (https://web.archive.org/web/20120227083914/http://www.lynyrdskynyrd.com/board_posts/pronounced), Allmusic(https://www.allmusic.com/album/pronounced-leh-n%C3%A9rd-skin-n%C3%A9rd-mw0000190876), the RIAA (https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=default-award&ar=Lynyrd+Skynyrd&ti=Pronounced+Leh-Nerd+Skin-Nerd#search_section), and every other wiki language lists the title as "Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd" though FMSky (talk) 07:04, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So per WP:COMMONNAME, it shouldnt be moved FMSky (talk) 07:08, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. No hard evidence has been provided that this is incorrect. If it's what the band calls it [1], and is the name on iTunes and Spotify, we have no reason to change it. Nohomersryan (talk) 17:44, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
