Feelin' Old School

[CaDan]

Just put on my precious vinyl copy of Horrendous Disc. Some of us remember how bad Christian music was before this album . . . .

Feelin' old -- I turn 40 tomorrow.

I have a lot of memories tied in with that album. Even today, I know every note on it.

I see what you're saying. I listened to DC Talk's debut album a little while back and it brought me back to high school dayz - yipes!


"it's kinda pro-found, a trump will sound...and all of God's children...is heavenbound"

Put your hands together for the teenager who still listens to vinyls! I'm sorry freezexbrand it just sounds funny, don't take it personal.

I'm listening to "En Hakkore" by Tourniquet right now. That's considered "old" too (circa 1993). btw, I'm only 20.

I also own a Stryper "Soldiers Under Command" (1985) and Bloodgood "Self-titled" (1986) vinyl. It's cool to have!

The earliest good Christian rock I own is Petra's debut album (1974)!

My oldest is from 1983-a Petra album called "Not Of This World", and yes, I can still play it!

A bunch of years ago, when I was going through my "apostasy" phase, I got rid of all my old christian albums, except:

Larry Norman - Only Visiting This Planet
Larry Norman - In Another Land
Resurrection Band - Colours
Daniel Amos - Alarma
Daniel Amos - Horrendous Disc

This isn't a "Best of the Moldy Oldies" thing--just the albums that held up through faith, loss of faith, and regaining faith.

No real point here, just a little random testimony and a little warning: Even if your faith wavers for a while, DON'T CHUCK YOUR CHRISTIAN ALBUMS!!!! They are hard to replace later

I've got a bunch of old vinyl stuff. I've got 5 Larry Norman albums, 3 Petra, 3 Steve Taylor, 5 Phil Keaggy, 4 Rez band, Dion's Christian LP, Keith Green, Leslie (Sam) Phillips and certain other 80's one-timers (i.e. other stuff I can't think of at the moment).

Good stuff!

I also have a couple of Gary Paxton albums. Gary was the lead singer of a group called "The Hollywood Argyles" and and had a huge hit with the song "Alley Oop." Later in life he found Christ, and recorded some wonderful Christian albums.
