The Petra Zone

Tonight I put on my page Youtube videos of what I consider to be Petra's best and finest songs, with a slight "if" the John Schlitt albums were actual Petra albums, 1-16. What would your list be, in that case? Here was mine:

1. Shakin' The House

2. All The Kings Horses

3. All Fired Up

4. King Of Kings/Jesus, Jesus, Glorious One

5. Beyond Belief

6. Sight Unseen

7. Just Reach Out

8. Wake The Dead

9.Enter In

10. Save Me

11. We Need Jesus

12. St. Augustine's Pears

13. Amazing Grace

14. Jekyll & Hyde

15. Lord Reign In Me

16. Only Men


So... whatdya say? Did I do right? What would you choose differently on the John side of things? I encourage you to, if you've forgotten any of these songs, to look up UnknownPetraFan on Youtube, who has done an awesome job posting the songs on there.

1. This Means War!
2. Mine Field.
3. First Love.
4. Love.
5. Jekyll & Hyde.

I would pick some with more raspiness.

1. This Means War!
2. Mine Field
3. The King of Glory Shall Come In
4. Creed
5. Just Reach Out
6. No Doubt
7. I love all of Shake - can't pick just one
8. Can't Get Away - I don't remember Unfit very well except for that one.
9. Jekyll & Hyde
10. Amazing Grace - Farewell

I'm not very familiar with God Fixation, Revival & VE.

I wish I had a full song version of the song 'No Doubt' from the acoustic set on Farewell....TOTTALLY AWESOME!

Changed a few of the songs... whatcha think?

To get the complete John, you could also include the Head East albums. This is not Petra, obviously.

Never Been Any Reason - Flat as a Pancake
Monkey Shine - Get Yourself Up
Every Little Bit of My Heart - Gettin' Lucky
Specialty - A Different Kind of Crazy

For me my favorites are (in no order):
1. Creed
2. He Came, He Saw, He Conquered
3. Just Reach Out
4. Last Daze
5. Hit You Where You Live
6. What's In A Name
7. Alter Ego
8. Whole World

Also for me in no particular order...

Whole World
This Means War!
He Came, He Saw, He Conquered
Kenaniah
All the Kings Horses
First Love
Somebody's Gonna Praise His Name
I Will Call Upon the Lord
Creed
Love
Prayer
Destiny
I Need to Hear From You
