I assume Lynyrd Skynyrd's has Sweet Home Alabama, so that is an auto win for Rainbow for not having Sweet Home Alabama.

I have a hunch that the Rainbow one has loads of non-Dio tracks, play it safe, go with the Skynyrd one.

I like Rainbow, but this isn't even close. Skynyrd hands down.

Re: What’s the better compilation album ?
I don't give a fuck about either but one thing is carved in stone: The inner gatefold image for Skynyrd Gold & Platinum is the worst album art ever made for release by a major label. By a long shot. I still can't believe it when I see it.

And of course, "FREE BIRD!"
Because of those 2 cliche's I never listened to the band. And Sweet Home Alabama would always be on those Time/Life commercials. But man... I got comp tickets to see them at a casino like 15 years ago and they were fucking awesome. I knew every song from hearing them on the radio all my life but this was the first time I ever actually really listened to them. I'm aware it's more of a tribute band now but still...the music holds up. Skynyrd gets my vote.
Bonus Track for you...here's Play Some Skynyrd by the great John Eddie:

Rainbow.
Skynyrd doesn't really have any great songs, not even Free Bird. And while Alabama itself can be kind of nice, the song Sweet Home Alabama does not impress at all.
