First recommendations
When recommending 80s Christian Rock bands to someone, who would be your first picks? I would first recommend
Well of course first
Petra
Daniel Amos They've proved a good recommendation for myself, why not spread the word?
Whitecross- they've really done a lot for me with the Lord n' stuff
Stryper-they were what sparked my expedition of the rest of them bands!
Barren Cross Some of the best- especially for heavy metal lovers!
Last, but most certainly Never Least,
Angelica The poor guys get so snubbed-- I love them so much!

Re: First recommendations
Hahaha, U2 & Kansas are the farthest stretches I'll allow Those are mostly good recommendations! Haven't heard all them myself but I know/like most I would recommend Bride, Snakes plus their first albums but I myself need to get to all their stuff!George Harrison wrote: ↑Thu Oct 24, 2019 6:54 pmPetra (duh)

...I could stretch the "rock" definition further, but I'm doing that a fair bit already, so I'll leave it at that.

Re: First recommendations
20/20? I really like their song I Am Blind I don't know that you stretched it too far, I would consider the ones I know out of there 'rock'. Great choices as well!GabrielHansberry wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2019 12:52 amPetra

Re: First recommendations
September is very good. Also, Twenty Twenty had two albums. The second album is “Altered” and is generally more rocking than the first. Members of White Heart were involved on both albums if memory serves correctly.

Re: First recommendations
Did anyone mention Vector? Their first two albums are great, and pretty different from each other.

Re: First recommendations
How about a little love for JAG. Love the dudes voice. Some of the Whiteheart guys were involved with the songwriting and such. I still love the various 80's pop and rock influences in the songs.
