Thanks for the link  ;D
I had a few albums Daniel Amos, and a few songs (oldies) on video. I might have to buy the new CD this week. I also liked Larry Norman, Petra, Keith Green, Steve Camp, Stryper, just to name a few.

Thanks Again  

P.S. DITTO

     My favorite is Kelly Williams, she rights her own music and songs, and she is blind, her voice is angelec.

I like the Newsboys, Audio Adrenaline, and Rebecca St. James. They so rock! ;D

Those are all great artists. I have several of Larry Norman CD's. I have one CD of Larry Norman songs sung by contemporary artists. It's called One Way. I also have Petra Radio Daze. The only one I don't have that you listed is Stryper.
Have a great Day.

Those are great. I also like Smalltown Poets, Jars of Clay, Switchfoot, Third Day, delirious, Big Tent Revival, etc.

Music brings us together. I think it would be cool to meet the people I debate with on this forum and just give you all a hug. Wouldn't it be awesome to meet at a concert! Not a chance but a great thought. Any body from Washington State?

I like stuff like BLEACH, The Benjamin Gate, Relient K, Philmore, Dogwood, The Elms, Dead Poetic, Blindside, Sanctus Real, Audio Adrenaline, Ace Troubleshooter, Stavesacre... I've actually never heard any Petra or anything.... but hey I'm just 18!  :-\ 8)

Same here Bro  ;D

Kristen- Petra was like the prop type Christian modern rock group. The Fatehr of AA and the Newsboys (Back when both those bands played music worth listening to, that is). It was one of the first BIG Christian Rock bands. They were alright, but I’d take Thomas Tallis and Robert Byrd any day (I guess I‘m the only one NOT showing my age ;D).

Petra (ROCKED)


Brother Love :)

Petra ROCKS again!

The new album, Jekyl and Hyde, is the one from Petra that many of us who have been long time listeners knew was in there some where! They've always been excellent but this one is makes you want to turn it up to 11!

Biblically based -as always- lyrics and screaming guitars! Alright!

Thanks for the info

I think you and I are on the same page, Kristen!
Can you give a bit of a run down of what kind of style Philmore, Blindside, Dead Poetic and Bleach are? Heard of them, but never actually heard them.

But Relient K are by far the best!!

"Larry Norman"....Ooh, I like Larry Norman. Now for yal youngins', He used to be in this band called The People with their big Hit---I love You. Good tune, But I Love his Christian Stuff!:):)
I also Love Rance Allen!

Larry Norman is cool! http://www.larrynorman.com/
I also like Phil Keaggy, Randy Stonehill and Daniel Amos. Old aint I!

I went to a Randy Stonehill concert back in the mid 80's, I really had a GRRRREAT time. :)

In the last few years The Wife and I have been to several Stonehill concerts. He's funny and has a great ministry!

Phil Keaggy is one of the best (some consider him the best) guitarist in the world. I like alot of his stuff.

My wife really loves Phil Keaggy :)

Thanks for the Links

In my opinion Dc Talk is the best christian band ever! A shame that they are doing solo stuff now.. hope they will go back together again..

I like all of those too, except Daniel Amos doesn't ring a bell. I didn't know about DC Talk when did this happen?

I would have to say that my favorite is En Gedi, which is my husband, and son's band. To me they have a funky blues style... really nice.

well.. that with DCT happened about two or three years ago... They have released two albums each one of them..
Toby: Momentum and Diverse city
Tait: Empty and Loose this life
Kevin: Stereotype be and Between the fence and the universe

Makes me wonder where I've been...lol. My kids probably know about it tho.. thanks for the info.

Whoa!

DeGarmo & Key
Petra
Geoff Moore & The Distance
Undercover
X-Sinner
Stryper
Keith Green
Phil Driscoll

So....is this a list of your favorites?  

I'm trying to find some good sounds for my 20 yr old son who just gave himself to Jesus around Christmas time '04.  He tells me that the secular music sounds good, but the lyrics are aweful.  And the Christian music has true lyrics (some anyway), but he says the musicality of Christian sounds are pretty poor.

What do you think?  Are their websites where we can go get a sample soundbite?  I really don't want to buy him cds just to find out that he doesn't like them...

(His birthday is coming up.)       ;D

Thanks for your reply,

No would be really showing your age if your first record (yes a record) was More Power To Ya.  Awwwwwwwww those were the days.

Ok since I just dated myself here goes my old and new list.

Old (1990 and before)
Petra, Degarmo & Key, Sweet Comfort Band, Bloodgood, Guardian, Holy Soldier, Mastedon, Rage Of Angels, Stryper, Tourniquet, Steve Taylor, White Heart, White Cross, X-Sinner and David Zaffiro.

New (1991 and after)
Kutless, P.O.D., Veni Domine, Yellow Second, Pillar, Project 86, Sanctus Real, Saviour Machine, Hawk Nelson, FM Static, Thousand Foot Krutch, Seventh Day Slumber, Jonah33, Falling Up, 38th Parallel, Day Of Fire, Mourning September, and Sky Harbor.

Ok think that lists them all probably forgot one or two or 100.

What's his style? What secular bands does he like? I might be a bit too old, but of the current Christian rock bands I've heard, Kutless seems the best.

I don't like thrash so someone else will have to guide if that is his tendency.

But my list has some real oldies. I mean, I still have AND play the vinyl !!! Yup, and I own a Rega Planar turntable, which was really state-of-the-art back in the day, if ya know what I mean.

I'd be happy to provide some samples if I have anything he likes.

Let me know and we'll schedule a Limewire session so you can look me up.

overflow and planet shakers......

im curious as to if anybody will read this since this topic is really old  haha! anyway i like really heavy stuff like ultimatum and mortification. living sacrafice is also great and if you want some really really really really really extreme music try horde. i compare the horde album to spitting in satans face  hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!! YES!  great stuff. to give a breif overview of the music, its black metal style. so its extremely noisy (old school black metal style) and the vocals are really harsh, like screeching almost. but when i need to calm down i listen to this traditional ska band called the iraelites (gospelreggae.com has their CDs) and ive been listening to ron hamilton again. i havent listened to him since i was a little boy. if you dont know his real name then you might know him as patch the pirate (any baptist should know him  haha) but i love his voice so much its one of the most beautiful voices ive ever heard for a man. you can find his CDs at majestymusic.com
