[No cute message]
Here are my favorite Christian Rock artists -- all are highly
recommended and can be listened to (in my opinion) by anyone with
a social conscience:
Randy Stonehill:
Born Twice (1970) -- impossible to find & not great
Welcome to Paradise (1976) -- Solid Rock Records
The Sky is Falling (1980) -- Solid Rock Records
Between the Glory and the Flame (1982) -- Myrrh Records
Equator (1983) -- Myrrh Records
Celebrate this Heartbeat (1984) -- Myrrh Records
catch him in concert if possible! Write me if you want more
details. His style is eclectic. Best of everything.
Dave Edwards:
Dave Edwards (1981?)
Get the Picture (1982)
the first is very new wave. The second is more mellow.
both are great.
Steve Taylor:
I Want to be a Clone (1982)
Meltdown (1984)
Christian Punk. Non-Christians may find it hard to relate to
a lot of the songs because they deal with problems inside the
church. I like the first album much better than the second.
Daniel Amos Band
Horrendous Disc (I've never heard this one)
!Alarma!
Doppelga"nger
Alarma is VERY good new-wave. Doppelga"nger just doesn't
thrill me at all. "Baby Game" & "Faces to the Window" from
!Alarma! are two of the best new wave songs I've heard. Daniel
Amos band used to be Country & Western.
Keith Green (deceased) and Larry Norman are two of the real
big names in Christian rock. Both are good. Servant isn't bad.
No cute signoff,

Here are a few of my favorite Christian artists:
DON FRANSISCO: He sings different syles of music, such as folk,
country, and rock. His albums include:
FORGIVEN
BROTHER OF THE SON
THE TRAVELER
HOLINESS
PETRA: A Christian rock group who are liked by both
Christians and non-Christians alike. They are
as good or even better than the majority of
`secular' rock groups that are around today.
Their last 3 albums are their best. They include:
MORE POWER TO YA
NEVER SAY DIE
NOT OF THIS WORLD
MICHAEL W SMITH: He has a light rock sound. He has two very good
albums out, in which Amy Grant is one of the girls
singing in the background. They are:
MICHAEL W. SMITH
MICHAEL W. SMITH 2
SILVERWIND: A very good Christian group whose lead singer grew
up in a Communist country and escaped a few years
back. They have a sound which can be appreciated by
everyone, as their music is not too loud, but
played at a very comfortable level. Their style is
rock, but nothing hard. They have two albums out:
A SONG IN THE NIGHT
SILVERWIND
These are just a few that I listen to and enjoy very much.

If you like ABBA, you'll like Silverwind. If you're not
listening closely, you won't be sure which it is.
