The best.

Whitecross has released many CDs in all those years.
What is your favorite Whitecross?

Triumphant Return reigns supreme!


I would rank them like this:

1. Triumphant Return
2. 1987/Whitecross
3. In The Kingdom (first one I ever heard)
4. Hammer & Nail
5. Unveiled
6. High Gear
7. Equilibrium
8.. Flytrap (could have ranked higher if they had rocked harder and used less acoustic guitars)

I won't add any of the greatest hits packages to my list.

My favorite is In The Kingdom, but I enjoy High Gear (saw them during this tour) and Triumphant Return .

My favorite Withrosses are.

1 Triumphant Return
2 Unveiled
3 In The Kingdom
4 Nineteen Eighty Seven

1. Triumphant Return
2. 1987/Whitecross
3. In The Kingdom
4. High Gear
5. Hammer & Nail
6. Unveiled
7. Equilibrium
8.. Flytrap

1987!!!!!

I've never heard the original recordings of the self-titled disc but the rerecorded 1987 is fantastic.
Since everyone is rating I will too.

1. 1987
2. Hammer & Nail (first Whitecross album I ever heard)
3. Triumphant Return
4. In The Kingdom/High Gear (both albums pretty much equal IMO)
5. Unveiled
6. Equilibrium
7. Flytrap (I agree with alldat, possibly higher if it rocked more)

i would vote but i dont have any of there cd's ive only heard acouple songs on a mix track

Because of this thread....listened to In The Kingdom (side B) tonight. "Love Is Our Weapon", "The Eternal Fire", "You Will Find It There", "If He Goes Before Me", "Tell Me The Time" and "Holy War".

And, to "cross-thread" they don't write songs like that anymore , not very often, at least.

Just as a side point, regarding "Holy War" did anyone else find it slightly annoying that they don't sing "Jesus is Lord" as it says in the lyrics? I thought it would have been great like that.

I love some of the lyrics off "High Gear" best one (which was in my head for ages)..........

Never try to hurt anyone.
I try to keep to myself.
I'm all business, no time for love.
Emotions gather dust on the shelf.

Fast dealin', no time for feelin'.
All is well, I'm grabbing my dream.
I work hard at building my kingdom.
I don't care what tomorrow will bring.

All I've ever dreamed of is right in front of my eyes.
Without your love, I have nothing.
Without your love, nothing will stand.
Without your love, I have nothing.
Without your love, I'm such a miserable man.

Living high, up on that hill.
Got it all, so I've been told.
I've built a kingdom of diamonds and gold.
At night, it all turns so cold.

Shade my eyes to all that's around me,
Except that star I've needed to reach.
To late, my fate now surrounds me,
For all I've gained, I couldn't keep.

I wonder why I've waited so long
To see if you're what I'm looking for.
All the time I've wasted is gone.
Will you be there if I open the door?

Those were off a greatest hits project at that. I'll have to let you hear the legendary Whitecross--especially the era with Rex Carroll on guitar!

I love that song (Without Your Love) also Fundy.

When I saw them, they were doing a combination of "In The Kingdom" and "High Gear" stuff.

I really didn't like "Holy War" live, their drummer did the rapping. And, I think it is just "okay" on the lp.

Never cared much for his vox.
Been listening to them since the beginning and believe it or not I like Flytrap best. Then their first release is a close second, In the Kingdom; 3rd.

Flytrap and the first release have a different sound to his vox than the rest. First release sounds more like Stephen Pearcy from Ratt; on Flytrap he's a little more grungy in his singing which i like better. The rest of their albums are ok, but I'm not a big fan.

1. Triumphant Return -saw them on this tour. My favorite
2. 1987
3. In the Kingdom
4. Hammer and Nail

I voted for By Demand since it was there. Its a killer compilation of their best songs from the first five albums. Removing the greatest hits albums, my list would look like this:

1. 1987 (both this and the original s/t are far and away my favorites)

-BIG GAP-

2. High Gear
3. Triumphant Return
4. In The Kingdom
5. Unveiled
6. Hammer and Nail
7. Equilibrium (has 3 briliant songs, but the rest is boring)

-BIG GAP-

8. Flytrap (wretched except for the first song)

I went with "Triumphant Return"- the best combination of performance, production and songwriting of all the bands efforts (IMHO, of course).
