This or That... CCM/Rock edition

Jars of Clay

(by the way, 4 of them may be the greatest voices but I've never been impressed with Amy Grant. She doesn't have much range, her dynamic level is limited and her timbre is very nasally.)

Yet, she's the most household name of all of them... Ironic isn't it ?

Come on Ishmael, you need to post a choice for us to pick from

old school Disciple over Saint.. but otherwise, Saint!

Jeremy Camp over Jars of Clay
.....

Steve Camp or Don Francisco?

Oooooh ! I want this one ! I LOVE Steve Camp ! In my early years as a believer I totally connected with this artist and his heart for the Lord. He's one of the inspirations for us to sponsor a child in Indonesia back in the late 90s.

So yep, Mr Camp is near and dear to my heart. Don, I never got into... but it's a little unfair since I haven't given him a fair chance.

2020 Blind or Idle Cure ?

Idle Cure

Since I didn't post a choice earlier and Staybrite got onto me, I'll post 3.

Earthsuit, MuteMath or Andy Hunter?

THREADKILLER!!!!

What, you guys don't like avant-garde, experimental rock with electronic undertones? or straight trance?

I haven't heard any of them...

Nostalgia or Messenger?

First I'll choose from Ishmael81 as I have an appreciation for all 3 he listed and I pick Earthsuit as that was the band that blew me away when they were first on the scene. The other bands pretty much pick up where Earthsuit left off.

Now, on to Unworthy - Messenger is one album I still do not have, but I've listened to enough samples on iTunes to know I REALLY like them.

Mylon Lefevre's "Crank it up" period
or
DC Talk's "Jesus Freak" period ?

ishmael81...I would go with earthsuit...

..........
DC Talk's "Jesus Freak"

Narnia or Golden Resurrection

Narnia

Harmony or Laudamus
( Yep I know Laudamus quit playing but I still listen to the CDs they have released).

Harmony


Zion or Stryper

Depends on which Stryper. If IGWT Stryper then Zion hands down. If Soldiers Stryper then I think Stryper edges them.


Daniel Amos or The Swirling Eddies

To quote Darth Vader when he learns that Padme died, "NNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

I like DA. I haven't gotten into the Swirling Eddies much.

CrystavoX or Angelica ?

Swirling Eddies - Outdoor Elvis .. one of the greatest albums of all time lol

never really heard Crystavox and Angelica isn't bad... so Angelica ...

SCC or MWS?

Don't care much for either but if I had to choose, I say Steven Curtis Chapman.

Casting Crowns or MercyMe?

That's a tough one.
I like them both.

Mercy Me.

Rob Rock or Driver?

Driver, I guess.

Dreamer or Neon Cross?

Neon Cross



Dreamer was good, but it just seemed to be half good. Half of the songwriting team that was in the magic of the Daniel Band's stuff was gone.







King James or Guardian?

Hmm… tough… if we're talking all eras combined, the second KJ album takes it, but second would be First Watch.

Armageddon or '80s Saint?
(btw, anyone ever notice how much "Nightlight" sounds like "Vicars Of Fate" in the intro?)

SAINT!!!



Old Newsboys or new (with Tait) Newsboys?

I'm sorry, but Casting Crowns by a mile!

.......

Old Newsboys (but which old newsboys? - either one better than new)

.......

Big Tent Revival or Geoff Moore & The Distance?

Big Tent Revival.


Yum Yum children or Supertones
