CHALLENGE TIME ! Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

I need a list of bands, Christian or mainstream that “Compares to” or is “For fans of” the bands I’ve listed here.

Pretend you’re recommending the bands to someone who’s never heard them, and you want to compare them to another band.

Example: “X-Sinner = (for fans of) AC/DC, Def Leppard, GX Project”

I need your best comparative wisdom on as many of the following bands as you can. Thank you for your wisdom and help.

Here's what I think:

12 Stones - Creed
33 Miles - Rascall Flatts
The 77s - idk, Zeppelin?
Ballydowse - Dropkick Murphy's (Oi!)
Barren Cross - Iron Maiden
Darrell Mansfield - Joe Bonamassa or Junior Wells
HB - Nightwish is closest
Jars of Clay - for fans of AWESOME! j/k not sure, they're pretty unique
Place of Skulls - Pentagram
Recon - Queensryche
Theocracy - Edguy
Wish For Eden - also pretty unique (Rob Walker, their lead singer did a solo album that sounded similar but it had even more Christian lyrics than WFE's)

Rev Seven sounds a little bit like Ozzy, in some ways.

Skillet won't need a comparison. They get more airplay on secular radio than on Christian radio. The kids already know who they are. Same with POD and Switchfoot.


Red Sea - Whitesnake
Whitecross - Ratt
Randy Rose (Rose) - Danzig
Rev Seven - Ozzy
Apostle - Dokken
Sarepta - latter era Deep Purple
Lordchain - King's X, Galactic Cowboys
Arsenal - Lita Ford

Mad At The World (Which era?) - In their early days, they reminded me of Tears For Fears. When they went rock, they somewhat remind me of Billy Idol with a little Danzig thrown in, and when they went alternative pop at the end, they sucked.

Stairway - Scorpions


That's all I can think of for now.

This is one of those things I'm not very good at. But when someone makes a recommendation I usually think one of two things 1. "Oh yeah, they totally sound like that band" or 2. "ummm...no way" So you can take my recommendations with a grain of salt.

12 Stones - Creed & possibly even Limp Bizket on the rapping tunes
33 Miles - Definitely Rascal Flatts
7th Heaven - reminded a little bit of Rush (at least their more commericail stuff)
Arlen Salte - Only heard one of his albums one time but sounded a bit like Bryan Adams
Arsenal - Phantom Blue (or like a heavier Vixen)
BarlowGirl - Zoe Girl no wait Superchik (ok that was joke....sorry I couldn't help myself)
Barren Cross - Iron Maiden & 80's Judas Priest
Bloodgood - Krokus
Cry Holy - Journey
Enduring House - Early Stone Temple Pilots
Place of Skulls - Black Sabbath, Pentagram
Randy Rose - the first album was very much like Glenn Danzig
Rev Seven - Ozzy

I've just heard the Arlen Salte stuff, and I would compare him more to Rick Springfield and Rick Cua.

Do you think Arlen also wishes he had Jessie's Girl?

Well Arlen is probably in his 50's too....so don't count Jesse's Girl out yet.

I'm really poor at this, but I'll help if I can:

100% Proof - Definitely NWOBHM, but a comparison is tough. Maybe Raven? They were lighter though.

Altar Boys - 7 Seconds or The Clash (maybe)

Balance of Power - Helloween or Stratovarius

Barnabas - DC LaCroix is the only band I've ever heard that sounded similar, but most won't know them either, so I don't know if that's a help or not. They have elements of Rush, but a direct comparison would not be accurate.

Crashdog - Minor Threat or The Meatmen

Darrell Mansfield - Gary Moore or Stevie Ray Vaughn

First Strike - tough one.... Maybe Loverboy?

Ghoti Hook - Green Day


I spend a lot more time than is justified on these sorts of things, so I'd better stop there. Smile

I think First Strike sounds a bit like Messiah and Rush.

With Whitecross it depends on which album.

Whitecross S/T or H&N ...Ratt

Triumphant Return ...Motley Crue ~ Dr. Feelgood

The rest I'm not too sure of.
