See what you all think? ~~~ Pre-70's and going beyond: Bill Gaither Imperials 70's: Larry Norman Don Francisco Evie Lamb Late 70's/early 80's: Keith Green 2nd Chapter of Acts 80's: Adult Contemporary Amy Grant Michael W. Smith Sandi Patti Steve Green Michael Card Twila Paris Pop-Rock Petra Mylon LeFevre & Brokenheart DeGarmo & Key White Heart Not-sure-how-to-classify-but-were-unique Steve Taylor Randy Stonehill Carman Hard Rock Rez Band (aka Resurrection Band ada Rez) Heave Metal Stryper Late 80's/early-mid 90's: Rich Mullins DC Talk 90's: Newsboys P.O.D. Kirk Franklin Hillsongs Jars of Clay Millenium: Newsboys (still) Matt Redman I know I'm missing people, but my mind is blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yod Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Keith Green defined modern CCM...Amy and Smitty rode the wave. They had some good songs but they didn't really invent anything. They were the first to break into mainstream pop since Andre Crouch...but they watered down the lyrics to do it where he didn't. Newsboys? Gimme a break. As good as they are, the only thing they innovated was a rotating drum cage. I do think Petra should get the 80s crown because there would be no DC Talk or POD or Delirious if not for them.

Would you please explain how you understand him to have defined modern CCM? Other than Steve Camp, I had not noticed anyone following his footsteps to any degree.

I don't want to spark any massive controversy, but looking at the internet I see mixed messages about whether or not they are a Christian band. Is there any real doubt? I love Leviticus.

Other than Steve Camp, I had not noticed anyone following his footsteps to any degree. I didn't get saved until 1990, but from what I can tell Keith Green was the one who made "Jesus music" popular with mainstream christians and launched the genre known as CCM.

They are more "christian" than 90% of what I hear on christian radio yet I don't question the salvation of Michael W. It's easy to be a christian band in the christian world on christian radio playing christian venues. POD goes into the gates of hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always take things I read on the internet with a pinch of salt, there's always some hyper-pious Christians willing to knock someone's ministry, sadly.

Smith called "Deep in Love With You". I heard it while on hold on the phone. It's a beautiful worship song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
