Here, in no particular order, is what is wrong withSweet Home Alabama:
1. It's been played to death.
2. Every time I turn on the radio, I hear it.
3. Every human being in the Entire World knows this song and wants to flic their Bic and wave their arms whilst singing it at the top of their dope-filled, booze-saturated lungs.
4. Every bar band that ever existed feels compelled to murder this song at least once each set, because people dance to it.
5. I have heard this song approx. 13,497,001 times. And counting.
6. They are mean to Neil Young.
7. It's been played to DEATH.
8. I am a grown man. I don't need to be told to "turn it up".
9. Alabama is not, in fact, my "sweet home".
10. Watergate SHOULD bother them.
11. Played. To. Death.
12. The short singer-fellah wears that kooky hat alla time.
13. While their catalog is rich, rich I tell ya, with good tunes, this is the ONLY one that gets airplay.
14. wReggie likes it too much.
15. I do not for one minute believe that "in Birmingham they love the governor".
16. Why should I, a dyed-in-the-wool Western Man, salute a "Southern Anthem"?
17. Alla time, played. On the radio? Oy, so much, already!
19. ANY Beatle song is better than this song, even Maxwell's Silver Hammer.
20. I just don' like it any more.
21. Try, just once, listening to Skynrd's version of JJ Cale's They Call Me The Breeze. Then pick the best song.
22. If I hear this song One More Time I think I just may have to stick a 36" cold steel crow bar in my ear. Hard.
23. Bobby Goldsboro could write a better song.
24. I'll bet George Wallace pleasured himself while listening to this song.
25. Even Yellow Submarine is better.
26. As you enter The Gates Of Hell, this is the song on the loudspeakers.
27. "We did all we could do"? I doubt it.
28. Alabama conjurs up alot of images, but "sweet" ain't one of 'em.
29. The radio doesn't know any other song to play.
30. Even Revolution #9 is better. The Yoko parts.
31. If Sweet Home Alabama were a pair of pants, they would be lime green, vertical-striped, high-water wrinkled bellbottoms.
Must I go on?

Southern man don't need you around anyhow. Sir....we are at an impasse.
I think you suffer, in my heart of hearts, from the God Bless America - Kate Smith syndrome. Just too much wrong by your standards to ever accept it.
Did you ever once like the song?
Curtis Lowe? Freebird!!!!!!!!!!
Bwahahahahahahaha and need I say, HA!
Stop turning the radio on.
When Hubs and I were visiting so many years back do you remember that female singer that came on the radio that you L O V E D. I thought she had a whiney voice. You bought one of her cassettes that day. Who was it? Sorry I can't even think of the song that was playing.
Freebird is another one.
And while we're at it, I'll toss in High Tides and Green Grass Forever by the Outlaws.
But there is not one single bad Allman Bros. song. (Although Ramblin' Man is a little overplayed)
ahhhhh:] a music war...how fun!
I've never known you to be so snotty about music.
McNarfff:
Music is my passion.
With passion comes emotion.
I got my button pushed.
Perhaps you need to turn on your radio and listen to Sweet Home Alabama five or six times in a row.
Speaking of buttons why don't you simply push one and change the station HA!
Lu: EVERY station plays Sweet Home Alabama 24/7/365!!!!!
Control your emotions Phfrankie.
Please.
Ramblin Man is totally overplayed. SHA is over...done...dead...
Gimme Two Steps...
And Sweet Home Alabama is the song the bar bands play after they play Mustang Sally. In Memphis, if you ask for Mustang Sally you are asked to leave the establishment
