Title: "Old School" Christian Music?
Post by: NateyCakes on February 22, 2004, 10:53:20 AM
I absolutely love Christian music, especially from the 70's & 80's. Just wondered if anyone else likes it. Unfortunately, most of my friends do not who any of them are. When I say Keith Green or Leon Patillo they are like WUH?!!
I am a BIG fan of James Ward (If anyone remembers him), Phil Driscoll, Keith Green (Of course), Petra, LOVE Michael Card & Michael English. Anyone remember Mylon Lafevere? & Isaac Airfreight? Wish I could find their music more online...Hard to come by!! :) :)

I like christian music from the 1460s and 70's ;D

Micheal Card is good. As is his buddy John Micheal Talbet.

I met John Micheal Talbet, back in the 70's we both had hair down to our belts, he gave a good concert for a few of us.
I also like his brother Terry.

I'm really sort of green to the whole Christian rock scene. I just bought Jekyll and Hyde from Petra and about fell out of my chair when I heard it. They have one Christian station here that really only plays Contemporary. I don't mind it, but it limits everything. Before the LORD found me, I was into Iron Maiden, Judas Priest that sort of thing, so I'm used to having to feel my way through music to find something I like. I feel I've had the calling to form a Christian band, so I've been trying to find something to compare to the style I'd like to do. I like Third Day and Steven Curtis Chapman, but I like the harder stuff.

I love Petra, but the older stuff (It Is Finished). thats what i listened to as a kid. my hub likes the newer stuff, because he is a newer fan. I was just thinking last saturday that i wished i could find some Keith Green or 2nd Chapter of Acts (Hear The Bells Ringing...)on tape or CD. I would also love to have some Michael Card. I really miss the old school stuff, tho i bet Petra wouldn't be too hard to get ahold of. My hub also likes the Band that the old lead singer of Kansas formed, can't remember the group name.

Hope and Faith - The band that Kerry Livgren, the guitar player and writer of the majority of Kansas songs, formed along with the Dave Hope who was the bass player for Kansas, is called "AD". They are one my favorites too, along with Petra, REZ, Deagarmo & Key, and others mentioned here.

This Mother's Day evening Greg X. Volz, the former lead singer for Petra, will be at our Church here in Louisville Ky. We are very excited!

Glad you brought up Kerry Livgren. His album seeds of change which is a Christian record features among others Black Sabbath lead singer, Ronnie James Dio, in the songs live for the king and the mask of the great deceiver.

That album rocked. Can't find it on vynl anymore though.

PETRA RULES! Yay, You know Petra? Cool!

The older stuff is not too much of my style. I like from '90 up. Mostly just the ones with John Schlitt.

Mylon Lafevere? Yewah. I don't Like him... I have two songs on a music Video with him.

"I'm a freeeee man..."

Bride and Gaurdian has 80's stuff. Holy Soldier started in 1990 yet plays 80's stuff. My favorite song By HOLY SOLDIER song is "See No Evil." ANTI-ABORTION.

I really like most genres of Christian music from the really old hymns to today's music. I pretty much like any Christian music that isn't Amy Grant. She's too "ordinary" for my taste.

Does anyone remember Isaac Airfreight or Larry Norman? Really love them. Isaac Airfrieght did comedy in his Christian music & takes :)

I've got some Larry Norman, Keith Green, and "Awaiting your reply" by REssurection Band, which is a great album.

As far as I know, Larry NOrman is not dead.

Norman has had heart problems for at least a dozen years now, So he does few concerts anymore.  But far as I know, He's still with us

I absolutely love Christian music, especially from the 70's & 80's. Just wondered if anyone else likes it.  Anyone remember Mylon Lafevere? :) :)

I do indeed!!  Best concert I ever did see!!-lol-Mylon and Broken Heart on a hot friday afternoon at the Creation festival in 1983.  Band played for a solid half-hour w/out a break on a 97* day.  Started with Ted Nugent's instrumental jam "Stormtroopin" went from there into Aerosmith's "Train Kept A'Rollin" then into Mylon's own classic "Train's up in the sky."

Then Mylon sat behind a keyboard and started singing "Jesus Loves Me"  By the time he got to the chorus, He was choking back tears, As was much of the audience...This song was recorded and placed onto his "Live Forever" album.  Like the saying goes, A good time was had by all....

You saw Mylon? Thats so cool. I was too young to really get into him. I mean my Dad & Mum had him on all the time and then passed the records onto me and I've enjoyed his albums! I wore them out & its pretty tough finding his older stuff anywhere! If you have any of his albums or cassettes, maybe PM or Email me eh? Heheh. I really like him~ I also am looking for James Ward. He is still going to many churches to sing which is cool. I wonder if he does the old stuff still!

I'm prob'ly the youngest person to reply to this.... ;)

2nd Chap. of Acts has all their albums on CD at 2ndchapterofacts.com.  Matthew also has them on his site, matthewward.com, and Annie may or may not on annieherring.com.

Larry Norman, last I checked (a few months ago) was still around, with a defibrilator, but still around.

I love the "old school" stuff.  Crazy.  I have portraits of 2nd Chp. and Keith Green and Larry Norman on my walls.  I love all the Petra, except that stuff a few years ago that didn't even sound like them.  I haven't gotten Jeckyll and Hyde, but it's on my wish list.  I also love Phil Keaggy and Ken Medima and JMT and Micheal Card.  Though why we call their stuff "old school", I don't know; they're still around....
 
My dad wants me to hear Isaac Airfreight or however you spell that--anyone know where they can be found?
