Hello,

Okay this is a decent song, but is a watered down version of "The Fans", see below. 75) "Richard Petty Fans":

The better version of "The Fans", coming up later on this countdown:



74) "Hollywood":



73) "I Wanna Come Over":



A decent song, but a very dumb song title. 72) "Mist of Desire":



71) "I Wanna Be With You Tonight":



70) "Take A Little Trip":



69) "Then Again":



68) "On This Side of The Moon":

(Finished February 19th, 2018) themusicaddict's Top 106 Greatest 80's Era Band #21 Alabama Part 1: Best Non-80's Era Songs

Hello,

Alabama was definitely at their best in the 80's and early 90s, they had an amazing run from 1980's "My Homes In Alabama" to 1993's "Cheap Seats". Ironically that's the same period this blog covers. After that very prolific period, Alabama has continued touring and releasing new music. They have been as good as they were in their heyday, but they still do continue to make good music. These are some of the best of their non-80's era songs. I hope you enjoy it, these are in no particular order.

"When It All Goes South":

"Clear Across America Tonight":

"I Can't Hide My Heart":

"As Simple As That":

"Southern Drawl":

"Hillbilly Wins The Lotto Money":

Only 923 views, what? "It's About Time":

"Spin The Wheel":



"Nothing Comes Close":



"Say I":



"It Works":

"The Maker Said Take Her":



"That Kind of Mood":



"Sunday Drive":



"Down This Road":
