Hello there! I like these lists.

That's tough to say, but here are some of my favourites:
1.On Fire! Crunchy rhythm and good riffing, albeit slightly unnatural production and a few week ballads and other songs.
2. More Power to Ya. Excellent song writing, Judas Kiss is one of the best songs... Compares well to some secular bands.
3. From here it's hard to choose, Jekyll and Hyde is pretty good and hard rocking, Beyond Belief and Unseen Power are both quite good with many good songs, also Not of this World, Wake up Call, No Doubt, Beat the System.... Hard to choose.

Also back to the rock was fairly good also.

Wake Up Call

It's a great album and a great sounding album. After years of the over-processed Elfante Bros. sound, Brown Bannister sat the boys down in a real studio and had them play real instruments recorded by real microphones. It is one of Petra's very few studio albums to actually let us hear Louie Weaver on drums.

This Means War. That wasn't my first album and may not have the best content, but it is definitely the reason I'm still posting today. It's the album that got me hooked and I've never looked back.

The best content? What do you mean? None of its bad if that's what you mean- kinda like THWTD or Against The Law by Stryper they aren't bad, people just need to let complete go of the devil and say he loses. Letting you know he never wins but convinces us and himself (or tries to convince us but that's where Jesus comes in and let's us know our eternal victory) that he's won but you CANT believe that, Ok? I just don't want you to miss out on anything so this means war is A-Okay because we're supposed to defeat the devil;)

Nice! Mine is Back To The Street. Do you know if that's a rare album that they maybe don't make anymore or something because they are all spendy and it's kinda sad for me cause I REALLY wan it. Anyway I don't really know much of Gregs albums but I intend to try them out soon. Also, did you mean the Band+Bible Verse list I have? I can send you some if you like or you could try and make em yourself cuz they are pretty cool; they show people that White Metal artists are genuine😉
