Want to hear the 2 greatest Christian bands of all time?(Petra&Stryper)

[herrmag]

"Calling on you"

Wow! I remember listening to that when MTV first came out when I was a kid. It rocked! :laugh: Top Ten Countdown anyone?

[michael_33]

Listening to country now...(very,very rare for me,,,,,)Very rare...,but I love this song!

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

flyleaf is a christian band?

my friend was in POD for a while. Tim Pacheco. He was a backup singer and even sang lead on one of their songs.

Yep.

I'm not sure what label they are on, but judging by their lyrics, albums in Christian bookstores, and speaking to them personally, they definitely are.

That's awesome about POD and you are lucky that you are out there. I've been thinking of flying out to SD for one of their shows out there (I've already driven 10-11 hours to see them play before).

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

Not one of the best Christian bands of all time but easily the best Christian hardcore band from Lennox, SD.

A video of the band I was in during high school and some of college. I am the long haired guitarist way the left off camera most of the time.

Seriously...you guys r0x0r3d. Why don't you have a reunion tour with Living Sacrifice sometime?

WorldviewWarriors (5 months ago)

Because only you and our wives would show up.

[BigMike619]

I worked with a guy who went to HS with Sonny and his cousin. I went to a few release parties and saw them at all Psydecar CD release parties. Tim is married to Sonny's relative somehow or another.

They need to hurry up and release something. :2cents:

Thank you. That's some of my better comedic work.

How about the:

Newsboys - www.newsboys.com

Jars of Clay - www.jarsofclay.com

DC Talk - www.dctalk.com

To me that's where it's at when it comes to christian rock. I remember being front stage for the Newsboys back around 1996. Awesome band.

[DallasBlowsBig]

my favorite Christian band growing up was Ministry, but the thing is I don't know how religious they were because some of their lyrics were not religious

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

Here's a few good ones from my first concert (after dc Talk):

Spoken, Philmore, John Reuben, and LA Symphony.

[81artmonk]

My buddy's old band:

Too Korn for my liking, but the singer is off the hook!!

jesus did build them a hotrod though.

no mention of evanessence or creed?

i dont like creed but they did have a spiritual message at first.

and so did evanessence. i kind of like her voice.

[Mickalino]

No contest.

David and the Giants.

Not hard core, just Rock.

No-one will argue with the message on this song, whether you're a Christian or not....

Creed falls under a different category, in which I call "Undercover Christian Bands". Bands that are truly Christian Bands, that don't advertise as such, because they want to blend into the mainstream. The best "Undercover Christian Band" in my opinion is Collective Soul

This is HEAVY

[Smoot Point Really]

In my younger days, I was always more into the following:

Undercover,"If I had a Dream"

Undercover, "I am just a man

As far as overall talent goes... You can't forget:

For sheer campiness:

Jars of Clay is pretty good. FFH is too (although they are soon breaking up).

Third Day for the win though.

Because doing drugs and participating in orgies with Fred Durst is so what being a Christian is about. :doh:

It's a Corinthian thing; you wouldn't understand.

Kind of like Corinthian leather?

[McMetal]

Stryper and Petra?

Maybe I'm just too young (I listened to Stryper in high school a little) but IMHO Living Sacrifice is the best Christian band ever. I am slightly biased though as my band opened for them back in the day.

So did mine...LOL.

I just couldn't take those guys seriously after their guitarist claimed to have never heard Slayer before. I was like "Really, that's uncanny because you've really ripped their guitar technique off perfectly..."

Thanks for mentioning Deliverance. Their cover of "Silent Night" is excellent.

Come on now though, I can't be the only one to love the godly MORTIFICATION!!!

[prophet]

I love the whitecross song "no second chances"

Some of my favorite bands from back in the day.

Dakoda Motor Company

Violent Burning

Mortal

Petra

Rasberry Jam

And there are few songs the beat "Jesus Freak" by DCT

[Tweedr01]

Can't forget Flyleaf and P.O.D

Flyleaf and POD rock, and now I haven't gotten the entire way through the thread yet, but it looks like no love for DC Talk? Anything? No one here who knows Christian rock can't tell me they haven't heard of Jesus Freak!
