Sweeeeeeet Hoooooome Alabama!!!! This song has so many great elements to it that’s why it draws so many people in. I think it's been in more movies than Gene Hackman

I love this song! An other artist copied almost every thing that this song has, though!!!>:(
|

I never get tired of this song. This is everything it means to be a Southern rock song. As far as I'm concerned, nobody will ever come close to matching Lynyrd Skynyrd for quality and potential in their glory years. Rock on, guys. Rock on.

It showed up on my AC/DC radio as well. It's not a bad song. But it's so terribly overplayed.
|
||
our family are missionarys, g o i n g from place to place all the time,and were always glad to come home to alabamma!!!
|
||
i love this song and lynyrd skynyrd with a huge passion and i love to listen to it, but w/ all due respect, i found it weird that this song appeared on my ac/dc radio. Buts it ok i'll listen to it anyday all day!!! Go skynyrd!!

The opening first couple of notes are all you need to find your "happy place"

totally recognizable . . . . . . l o v e this song......no bama kin, but kansas country born and raised!
|
||
seriously! this rocks! (i have 'bama kin too, but i was born in arkansas)
|

You don't even have to be Southern or from Alabama to love this song. It helps that I'm both Kentuckian and have 'Bama kin, but heck even if I didn't, this is a classic!
