The 25 Best Songs: The Atlanta Rhythm Section

The genesis of ARS began with The Candymen, a group that backed up Roy Orbison. Later, some of the members formed The Classics IV and charted with the classic “Spooky.”  ARS were all accomplished studio musicians, and when they all came together in their home town of Doraville, Georgia, a hit making machine was formed.

While many of my Top 25 were huge radio hits, many are simply excellent album tracks. Let us know what you think.

Tom Hampton says...

one of my favorite all time ARS ballads was "normal love"...you know that one, right? "not a sickness or a madness...just an everyday affair". great song. i also love "silver eagle"...great song. that solo from "imaginary lover", though...that's number one for me.

This is one of the best southern roc bands around....and I am guilty of almost forgeting them,I saw this list and pulld out the LPs and played some and damn it still sounds great.I know that a version of them are still around ut have they made any albums after 1982?? Just curious.....great videos on the band here too thanx for postin em.....keep rockin Gritz and one and all.Take Care and God Bless. Paul

waynep says...

I agree. Amazing musicians. Barry B had the tone to beat all tones

JackMKll says...

Great band, still listen to them all the time.The version of Spooky I like best is from Dog Days.Barry Bailey gets every tone possible outta that Les Paul and J.R.'s Strat is no slouch either. Thanks for this Michael.
