Bands that Sound Like

I dont know if there is a thread already for this subject but Ill ask anyway. I dont know if thiers a website for this but Im looking for a list of Christain bands that are alternatives to Kiss, Iron Maiden etc. I know Saint is like Judas Priest, Whitecross RATT, . Quiet Riot etc bands of the 80s and 90s. If possible.

Whitecross ~ Ratt (S/T, Hammer & Nail) ,Motley Crue ( Dr. Feelgood)
X-Sinner ~ AC/DC

Red Sea - Whitesnake
Fear Not - Skid Row

Never heard of Red Sea or Fear Not. Are they still around

They are not still around, but some band members are still working in music. 
If u want the one and only album by Red Sea as well as Fear Not's album and 1st effort under the name "Love Life", I'll be happy to upload them for ya. 
My autographed Red Sea promo (stupid cell phone posts pix sideways)

@Guilty yeah that would be great. Can you send the files or links to my email richrkjr@yahoo.com

Sardis has a definite Maiden feel to them, though they definitely stand on their own.  Great band!

The early Barren Cross albums also have a Maiden style sound to them. Rage of Angels made me think Motley Crue. I've never heard anyone who sounds like Kiss, although Steve Shannon, of Idle Cure, always reminded me of Paul Stanley.

Actually, somewhere, I forget where (but will look for it) is a Google Spreadsheet that lists a lot of bands and what they sound like. If I can find it, I will post the link.

Unfortunately, I could not find that list. But here is Fear Not:

This one reminds me of Tesla



And another good one, too bad they didn't do more but this was released as grunge was taking off.

Fear Not reminded me of Bride. Does anyone know if Dale Thompson was involved with it in any way?

Eden - Fan the Flame (great 80's rockin sound kind of reminds me of Dokken)

No, he wasn't.

While we are mentioning Bride,  some of their albums (Snakes, Scarecrow, This is It) remind me a lot of Guns N' Roses.

Another AC/DC comparison would be Mainline Riders.

Another Whitesnake comparison would be Ledfoot.  Good luck finding this one.

Never heard of Ledfoot. Interesting, will see what I can find.

Found this but for some reason I can't get the songs to play

I also seem to remember a Christian Band that sounded a lot like Led Zeppelin, but for the life of me I can't remember who they are or if they were even signed to a label. I think I read about it here one time and heard some posted samples.

And, after listening to Jupiter VI it sounds a lot like Pink Floyd.

That Led Zep comparison was given to the band New Jerusalem.  They also, at times, sounded like AC/DC.

Daniel Band...April Wine, Triumph
Holy Soldier first 2 albums remind me of Dokken's early album's
Ransom..Femme fatale, Vixen, Lita Ford
Sacred Warrior ...Queensryche
Seirah...Motley Crue
Smash Alley Underground....Ozzy
Zion...AC/DC, 220 Volt, Keel
Scarlet Red...Warlock, Lee AAron

Smash Alley Underground....Ozzy

I used to have a cassette tape of SAU and I just don't remember the Ozzy sound at all.

David Benson and early Rev Seven sounded like Ozzy.  Benson sounded more like the Black Sabbath days and Rev Seven when it was still a full band sounded like the Jake E. Lee years of Ozzy.

Some of it reminded me of Rhoads era Ozzy but after a full listen I agree alldat..... on a whole it really reminds me more of Roxx Gang..Good call Alldat...I checked out some early Rev Seven on youtube and liked it but I can't find any CD's or albums...
.....
How about Shout?  Their first 2 albums reminded me of mid to late 80s era Kiss...anyone else hear that?

Rev Seven would possibly be available through Retroactive Records.  The original demo tapes were better as they were a full band.  Also, the guitars were higher tuned and the singer (Bill Menchen) sounded a lot like Ozzy.  On the CD releases that he did many years later, I believe that Bill was using a drum machine which takes some of the dynamics of the songs away.  Some lyrics were changed, too, and I found that distracting.  I have the CD issues that were put out many years later but wish they'd just remaster the original tapes and release those.
