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.
Simply the Best they don't make country music like this no more I hope I get to see them before they retire for good . Love You ALABAMA GOD BLESS YOU .
I’ e had the pleasure of seeing them perform 5 times in my life and they have never failed to be the best group of real country music. Thanks, Alabama for your wonderful music.
Alabama is the best country band in the world...they're pure legends!! I was raised listening to them. Went to a few of their concerts. I love them so much!!!
You know what the way they're putting some country artists into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Alabama deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as well what do you all think
I've grew up with this group as a fan. They are nothing but the very best all the time. Nothing can EVER come close to them. Alabama, you are the greatest of all time, forever and always. Thank you for "Real Country."
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!
Alabama is still one of the greatest country bands to watch and listen to . They will never be forgotten no matter how old their songs get to be. 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is what I call Great country music. They might not have used the flashy lights, etc. that many do today, but their music is so powerful, it makes you go back to your younger days.
I walked two miles in the louisianna heat in 1983 to pick up front row seats to thier sold out concert. What a performance they gave, they spent 4 hrs signing autographs and taking pictures with thier fans. I treasure mine! Randy Owen will never be to old to be good!
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.
This message is for Alabama band , it brought some tears to my eyes the night this was given to you , your the ones who did things right and earned this award the right way
Brought a tear to my eye. God I've missed ALABAMA!! .......Welcome back boyz!!!! You're exactly what country music needs today... PEOPLE WHO CAN PLAY & SING!!!
Saw Alabama years ago. They were hot then and they still are. Their music is timeless now! And, my cousin Kimo is playing with them in the back! Yay! Love it!
Loved them ( SAW THEM AND BOUGHT A ALABAMA JACKET WHEN THEY VISITED PHOENIX) THEN AND LV THEM TODAY AND IM 75 NOW - THK U RANDY AND ALABAMA - GOD BLESS U ALL
Seen them live 3 times and its always a great show. Country music these days could learn alot from these guys. The greatest there is was and ever will be.
awesome... nuff said.. Cant top that... From their first record.. "ALABAMA" is my #1 Country band of all time.. Gentlemen/Artists/Family men. Southern Gentlemen/Southern pride..
Alabama you're the greatest I'm from Montgomery grew up there and now live in Georgia but I'm still a true Alabama fan Roll Tide and also God bless you with good health love you guys
Saw them in the summer of '85 in Milwaukee,Wi. They had already gotten entertainer of the year 5 times in a row back then. What a concert!! Have been a fan both before and after that concert!
Saw Alabama back in the day when they were playing at small venue like Holiday Inns. They played at the one in No. Myrtle Beach at Halloween in like 78 and they were awesome.
They are playing to a track. 4:21 we hear a cymbal crash. The drummer doesn't hit a cymbal. All the acts on big awards shows like this are playing to a track. The only 'live' part are the vocals. Sometimes not even that. Thank goodness Alabama is still good enough to play live and sound great!
@@GoogleAccount-tl7jl I can't hear the cymbal crash but the guitar movements were way off from the actual tune but like you said, these big award shows and superbowl half time shows are all pre recorded tracts and they sing live to them, well most of the time.
I think the music from all tribes and different races, but especially see a man like randy owen be humble and give a smile along with a song, makes you feel happy inside your soul.I love Alabama.
Alabama was so big in the early 80’s! They were continually on top of the charts from 1980 all the way to 1989!!! Great songs everyone knows by heart even if you don’t like country music! Great band!!!
@@adriantomlin2902 can’t trust anything you see on the internet. I’ve seen Alabama live 3 times, the last being in October of 2021. They talked about Jeff, who was absent, and even sang a really touching tribute song they wrote for him. It’s called “Jeff’s song”, you can look it up here on RUclips.
Well my husband and I raised our 3 children and nieces and nephews on country and grandchildren and their friends now I got a great grandson is growing up on country the all now love you and all the other country singers keep up the good songs always
I grew up listening to Alabama on cassette along with my mom, dad and my sister I could never get enough of it. Most memorable was the 2 weeks we stayed in our grandparents 5th wheel up in the mountains on an old landing while our daddy was logging and it was one of the best times in my life, it brings a smile to my face when I hear their music and it takes me back to my childhood. ALABAMA is the greatest country music band of all time.
they were my favorite when i was 14 years old in 82 i grew up listening to country music in the car with my mom, when i heard these guys for the first time i was over the moon in love with there music.
In 1980 the radio DJ said check out these guys - it was Alabama, the song was Mountain Music - I was hooked - the next day went and had my parents by me their album - I wore it out...
Business is Business and sometimes its ugly. I followed these guys since 1980 and they haven't missed a beat. Say what you want but with out these guys country music would not be what it is today. Thanks for the chance to see y'all one more time guys, its been a hell of a ride.
Yeah, but don't forget about George Strait and Kenny Rogers have kept the standard high and longevity lengthy for just great country music. These 3 should stand the test of time even when you and I are long gone. Pure country!!
harmonics are off the chart's, they still sing the same pitch perfect, and the whole dam place gave them they respect they deserve with the standing ovation during the whole dam show.
II m from italy and listen this legendary band when i was be young in the 80's.Thanx for all and if now i love music is only for you.God bless Alabama band!!!:)
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…
Never more perfect words right there.
A once in a lifetime group. This sounds great this many years later.

Alabama is the greatest Country band to ever lay down a tune.
@Sergey Dmitruk Alabama is still the number one country band.
@Sergey Dmitruk Alabama with 41 number one hits vs Fgl with 18 number one hits
@@Jared-xf5xl yes they are !
@Sergey Dmitruk FGL is a duo not a group. And best duo will always be Brooks & Dunn
They actually have 43

I agree!!! One of my favorites in the 90’s!!!!
One of the few times ACA had a real country artist onstage this century
This never gets old… ❤
I never get tired of listening to Alabama
Simply the Best they don't make country music like this no more I hope I get to see them before they retire for good . Love You ALABAMA GOD BLESS YOU .

That voice will never get old :)
You're talking about Randy Owen I presume. There are 3 other singers in the group y'all know?
@@stevensmith8538 went way out on that limb to presume he was talking about the lead singer... good job

It’s so obvious that if you like Country or not, you do like Alabama! A friend of mine from the Philippines is obsessed with them since his kid days!😂
Hope to hear these guys one day yet!! Alabama will always be one of the greatest bands in history.
Unfortunately you won't see the all the original members. Jeff Cook has passed and Mark Herndon got fired years ago!
