FAVORITE ALBUMS Episode 3: Basic Rock and Roll

Subject: FAVORITE ALBUMS Episode 3: Basic Rock and Roll Fri Jun 21, 2013 5:43 pm

Time to come up with and narrow down YOUR favorite album within THIS particular genre:

YOUR FAVORITE Christian ROCK AND ROLL ALBUM (ie basic rock and roll = "D&K" "Petra" "Whiteheart" anything not really "metal", not really "pop radio", etc):

Can you define that one a bit more? Just about anything could fit here.

Whiteheart Freedom

Crossection -Breaking Ground

Oh man that's tough, but I might have to go with White Heart's Hotline for purely nostalgic reasons.

It's tough to think of one that would fit the "basic rock and roll" category, but I'm going to go with these two...

Jefferson Street by Three Crosses - this is the album that really made me like Christian rock. I grew up listening to 50s and 60s rock and roll, but never really liked Christian rock (I even hated the fun remix of The Newsboys' "God Is Not A Secret" at one point) until I discovered this band. Unfortunately, they broke up right after I found out about them.

Truth, Soul, Rock & Roll by The Elms - This has been a favorite of mine since I bought it. The band really shines on this - with lots of fun rock tunes ("Speaking In Tongues", "All The While Having Fun") and a few great ballads thrown in as well ("Smile At Life Again"), it's one I just can't stop listening to. "Smile At Life Again" is particularly a great track ("I've made promises before, but no mother and no friend could love you more").

For this category, I think I will go with Third Day's "Time". It's still a favorite after all these years.

Big Tent Revival- Amplifier

Decemberadio-S/T

Three Crosses- S/T

I agree that the DR and TC albums are great. I'm still annoyed that DR's only major hit was "Drifter" - great song, but it was way over-played as if that was their typical style, rather than their great southern-rock style.

Some others that have come to my mind recently

Stand Up by Everyday Sunday
S/T by The Waiting
Welcome ... and Beautiful Glow by Rock 'n' Roll Worship Circus

I think White Heart's Tales of Wonder is a brilliant rock album - just love listening to it.
