How about the fourth album? I suppose more votes will come as we go down the road into more recent albums...

Didja know... the song "Killing My Old Man" was written for the previous album, but the studio deemed it inappropriate.

This is the first one where I would really have a hard time choosing one. My mind says either "Chameleon" or "Angel of Light", but my heart says "For Annie". I'm gonna think about this one for a while.

Minor pet peeve, but I don't know if an admin can change the title to "Poll: Never Say Die (1981)".


Anyway, I voted "For Annie", but it's a toss-up.

This has grown into a favourite album of the GXV era. Maybe its me, but I feel some of the most solid lyrics came for Hartman.

Annie is a very personal and powerful song. It's a shame it never caught on in secular radio as I think its worth everyone hearing.

Always wished they remade For Annie during the late 80's as I feel its a lesson that should be mentioned again and again.

Great album! When I first listened to this one in the late 80's, WHWCDN and PYTL were my favorites, practically wore out the cassette tape! I really like the Classic Petra remade of Angel of Light, fortunately I haven't found a way to wear out an MP3!

The Coloring Song is one of my favorite Petra tracks of all time...
