14 - Marshall Tucker Band

It appears that the "others" were able to show a little affection for the Marshall Tucker Band. But, no one other than myself appears to have done so among the AMers.

[Greg Rumpff]

17 - Alabama

A little disappointing...I don't really consider them "traditional" country, more of the beginning of the contemporary sound. They had quite a few pop crossovers back in the day and it's not hard to hear why in my opinion. Not denigrating pop, just saying they veered frequently away from what I'd consider the country "sound".

14 - Marshall Tucker Band

It appears that the "others" were able to show a little affection for the Marshall Tucker Band. But, no one other than myself appears to have done so among the AMers.

I consider them country rock so I wouldn't have voted for them in a traditional country round. And I'm only honestly familiar with a song or two from them although I like what I've heard.
