Where's Joe Fair, Ralph Graham, Brian Bliss, Dean Ellenwood, Cliff Adelman, Paolo Dionisio,
Ted Ferrell and others? Come guys, let's hear your opinion about this. Also, what about taking Way Productions music and setting it to DVD format, Like Ted's The White House Across The Street? Why should VH1, MTV, CMT, and now
Integrity/Hosanna Music be the only ones doing this?
I have to admit that I find it hard to top Goodseed’s first two albums and the secular one. They have an energy and enjoyment to them that seems lacking a great deal of the old way productions that came after. In addition, most of their music praise God or thanked God, while the later music seem to focus on how great we were in following the word. Selah and others kept the focus on God. That changed as time went on. That isn’t to say the problem wasn’t there earlier. The “we are it†attitude first shows up that I know of in the song OHIO on the Miles of Smiles albums.
As far as which I like better, contemporary Christian or the old Way Productions stuff? I would have to say that the production values are higher on the Contemporary Christian music today, but as to words, I have to pick and choose in both, They all have their problems.
I'm attempting to get a copy of Pressed Down so I can converse intelligently with you, TLB. :)-->
I don't listen to the Christian radio station here much, but I do like the song about cartoon characters getting saved. Wasn't there a guy at the ROA who used to do excellent impersonations? I think I remember hearing about him.
There's also a song about the resurrection with the words, "You can't keep a good man down" in it. I like that one too.
There is no such thing as Christian music. There are christian lyrics, so taste being so subjective, I would surmise answers to your question would be based on how the lyrics jived with one's theology.

To a many sentiments here, probably not.
Even the so-called "secular" music lovers seem to cherish and esteem the classic rock oldies of their youth above much of the recent stuff.

IMNSHO I prefer groups like the Newsboys, Jars of Clay, DC Talk, the Katinas, Salvador, Sonic Flood, Petra and Phillips Craig and Dean over Way Prod.
I'll take Steven Curtis Chapman, Carman, etc. too.

Early Petra had some good stuff, but I don't know that you could call it all praise music. Some of it was, but was mostly rock and roll.
They've changed over the years, and now they seem more like a praise band (to me) than before.
