Alabama Performs on the ACA Awards 2011

[@Kayla-zs8dk]

No one sings like Randy Owen. ALABAMA will always be number one!!!!!

Nothing like Alabama will ever happen again. They came at the perfect time for music and they owned it…

I saw Alabama when I was a teenager, they are the greatest country band ever!!!!?

[@dmojor8788]

They still hold the crown, and I don't see anybody on the horizon that's capable of taking it. Unlike rock-n-roll, the majority of country music acts seems to be individuals with great backing bands. Alabama is basically the Beatles of country. Their songs are, pound for pound, better than other country groups, they kept coming out with great hits year after year, and their music will stand the test of time. They're just simply the greatest band in country music history.

Alabama played a show at my high school in the gymnasium before they hit it really big and the thing I remember most is the strong harmonies that they put out. I remember thinking how can 3 guys make it sound so strong? They were great! The show was in Lawrenceburg, TN.

I am a die hard "Rock" lover. I keep 3 CD's in my Truck of Rock's Greatest hit's. I have two CD's of "ALABAMAs" greatest hits in my CD player. These 5 CD's never leave my CD player. I still today love listening to Alabama as much as I like about 10 Rock Gods all time best CDs! Somedays it's a challenge as to what CD I am going to play. I have take several 20 hour road trips with ALABAMA blairing the entire time! Sometimes it's the ROCK CDs that are playing. It's just the mood I am in for the day. I have listened to all these songs since the early 80s and have NO intentions of stopping now. For ALABAMA to be singled out with no other country CDs is past amazing! I can think of about 10 Rock Bands I love. What's amazing is this one Country Band from Alabama stands alone in my World. We love you Randy, Teddy, and Jeff (RIP). Don't stop now as I am headed to the Tennessee River as we speak!
