Mandyangel, have you ever heard of Andy Hunter? :O
He's pretty recent to me, so I have a lot to go through of his music, but I bet you can find what you're looking for there! C:

McMatt said:Anyone who says skillet is good (after comatose album) has no clue what they are talking about. I see skillet in interviews on youtube talking about how they're "edgy" because they wear black and have tattoos. What a joke. After red's second album their sound turned into a crappy melting pot of all of the bands they were touring with and they lost their unique sound as well. You want good music? Get off solidstate and tooth and nail records. Go to meal blade records and look up a few artists like as i lay dying.
However, Soundgarden has been my band of choice for the last few months. Or anything with Chris Cornell's vocals.
I actually do have a clue of what I'm talking about. Skillet and Red are both very good bands. If you don't like them then fine, but don't start bashing the people who listen to them because you don't think they sound good. I honestly think As I Lay Dying isn't that great, but I'm not going to come on here and say they suck.

McMatt said:Really listen to red's first and second albums. Those were great. They had originality and they really had a unique sound. I was an avid red listener when they first came out. In fact, it took red years to come out with their second album because they actually worked on it. Now, they sound like cheap knockoffs of who they've been touring with. No one with good musical taste would call current red music good.
As for skillet, great band until collide, and still decent on comatose. Now they are just another generic christian rock band. But they claim they aren't generic because they are "edgy" due to having tattoos and black clothes. I've seen the interview and me and my friend made John from skillet a constant joke between us because of that clip.
As long as a band stays on a christian label they are going to face pressure from the record label to become "our version of x band", and eventually lose all originality. I've seen that happen to quite a few really good bands like seventh day slumber, demon hunter, POD (their first good album in over a decade was after they left a christian label - check it out. It's called murdered love), and a few others to which it's too early in the morning to remember their names.
For the record, it's not because I don't think they sound good. It's because they sounded awesome and truly were great bands and now they are a shell of what they were.

Musical taste is a matter of personal preference.
One of my favorite bands is Disciple. I love their older music (everything up to about 2004), but don't care for their new style. To say their older music is "better" and their newer music "stinks" would be very foolish. I just say that I prefer the style of their older music.
Although, some of their newer stuff is still a blast for me!

I'm a big fan of Russ's more rock work, and I got to see him reunited with Greg and Rebecca Sparks, their young adult-children and James Hollihan a few years ago, but I like Servant's performance of Watergrave a little better. I wish I could find it now.Pretty cool that your dad was in the Imperials (Jim Murray, I'm guessing). I didn't "get into" them until I heard Russ Taff sing "Watergrave". For my money (and this is nothing against what they had done up to that time or after, mearly my taste) those albums with Russ were the highest they ever reached - it helped alot that Michael Omartian was involved, of course. It wasn't the same (for me) after Russ left.
DJsi isnt classed as rock but he does light rock at times this song I love :
