What type of music do you like?

[Guest yod]

I like any kind of music (even some secular) where the artist is passionate and the lyrics are creative/original/important

I have a theory that most people don't know what they like until they hear it (overall)

In other words, you might "think" you hate a certain style but if someone would do that particular style in a way that moved you, it would appeal to you.

I have rarely liked hard core rock in my life until I heard POD and their passion for souls.

I hated Southern Gospel until I saw Bill Gaither in concert...now I like some of it.

I had never even heard of messianic worship until I was about 30 and learned to worship with Lamb & Israel's Hope music. I would have to say that this is still my favorite because it's usually God's word put to music...and the music is not like the world's in any way.

But I do like MercyMe and that whole acoustic worship genre because of the passion that they have for the Lord. Amen, bruda!

Did someone say Southern Gospel?

I love the southern gospel as well, but also like:

Don Francisco ( No one seems to remember him much though)

Keith Green

Dion Dimicci --Great christian rock -- but most of his Christian music is out of print.

Petra

George Jones-- he is now singing the Lords music.

Randy travvis

Good ole black gospel, really gets ya movin.

Jesusisgod2,

I love Don Francisco!!!

"The gates and doors were barred and all the windows fastened down....."

Anyone who has never heard "He's Alive!" has really missed something.

Of course, I am a huge DA fan. Terry Scott Taylor, you are the man!!

I wish Steve Taylor would make more music.

How about

Too small a price? This one brings those Holy Ghost chills.

You can almost feel what a crucifixion was like.

Glad to see some Don Francisco fans.

How about Mark Farners Christian music or

Richy Furay (formerly of Buffalo Springfield and Poco)?

I really started listening to the words,,,,,,,,,,knocked my socks off,,,,,,,:il:

If the singers and songs are anointed of the Lord it doesn't matter to me who it is, I get blessed.

However, if I had to choose favorites I would give the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, The Martins, Sherry Easter, The Hemphills and Philips Craig and Dean two thumbs up.

My grandmother is also at the top of the list :-) Man could she sing gospel blue grass! She knew how to worship the Lord!

Woops, almost forgot Carmen. He's pretty right on.

I love Don Francisco!!!

"The gates and doors were barred and all the windows fastened down....."

I get goosebumps when I hear that song. As I am typing now, I can hear the words echo in my head - oh wait...yup, I have goosebumps. Let me tangent for a minute - it's funny how when a church passes a song (maybe one you have played over and over and now it's sort of past it's usefullness for that time), to revisit it feels like a blast from the past? Our church goes thru so much music that when we sang Refiner's Fire last Sunday morning, I heard three reactions: "Yey and 'oldie'" :sleep: , "Aw man, I miss this one" , and from many new believers "This is cool, never heard this before!" .

I think much of our fasination with worship music especially, is that we can have our own church serives, wherever we are, throughout the week. I notice the whole mood in my house change when I put worship music on. It changes even more when I sing with it!

He's alive! He's Alive! He's Alive and I'm forgiven. Heaven's gates are open wide!......D.F.

WHAT A SONG!!!! AMEN!!!! HE'S ALIVE!!!!

I like Wayne Watson; Clay Crosse; Phillips, Craig and Dean; a lot of the Homecoming stuff, though southern gospel isn't my favorite....but I do like Quartet music. I have a large collection of CD's and it covers a wide range of styles.

I love Clay Crosse's "I Surrender All."
