Top 10 Classic Rock or Metal Bands.

Even though we all like Christian Hard Music here at CHM, I think our tastes are rather diverse. So what are your favorite classic Christian hard rock, rock, and metal bands from the 80’s and early 90’s? Petra, Bloodgood, Barnabas, Leviticus, Rez?

I actually made a list of the 40 or so bands I have that fit this category and did a process of elimination to find my top 10 favorites. So what are your top 10 (or 11, yes as usual I cheated).

So in no particular order here are mine.

1 Barren Cross
2 Bloodgood
3 Die Happy
4 Fighter
5 Neon Cross
6 Red Sea
7 Resurrection Band
8 Rose
9 Sacred Warrior
10 Saint
11 White Heart

This is tricky! But I'll give it a go........

1 - Stryper (Mainly due to all their albums!)
2 - Tourniquet (Mainly due to Stop The Bleeding)
3 - Sacred Warrior (Mainly due to Obsessions)
4 - Saint
5 - Holy Soldier (Mainly due to Steven Patrick)
6 - White Cross
7 - Barren Cross
8 - Bloodgood
9 - Neon Cross
10- Petra

6. Siloam
7. Whitecross
8. Scarlet Red
9. Mad At The World
10. Zion

In no particular order heres my top 10

Messiah Prophet
Soldier
Rev Seven/Redeemer
Barren Cross
Bloodgood
Saint
Rez
Stryper
Angelica
Deliverance
and a shoe in for 11th goes to Steve Taylor and Some Band.

I did expect to see Stryper on everyones list (except mine) and that is the case (so far). But I did also expect to see more Bride.

Keep 'em coming people. I'm keeping score.

Oops, I forgot Bride! They'd definitely be in the top 10, but I'm not sure who I'd get rid of!

Maybe I should have 11 too!!!!

Fundy

I forgot Bride too but only the music from 1991-1994.

Yep, just make it an even 11 and you guys can both add Bride to your lists if you want.

2. Stryper
3. Whitecross
4. Mad At The World
5. Rose
6. Crystavox

Agreed, they were like number 13 or 14 on my list when I was narrowing them down.
