Society/Culture Say what you want about the Christians but they have great music.

[Aristotle Pickett]

That's a Bob Dylan song who is Jewish.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

I rather enjoy hearing African gospel choirs, despite not caring for religion.

 

[raskolnikov]

I can' tell whether that is serious or sarcasm.

What about Stryper?

He was a Christian when he wrote it.

Yes a part-time Christian to get off heroin.

That's a good category. Part-time Christian heroin addicts.

What about Stryper?

They aint my cup of tea of course but already included!

I'm a metalhead, but I'm not a Stryper fan. However, they deserve a place in this thread I reckon.

This pretentious ponderous collection of religious rock psalms is enough to prompt the question, 'What day did the Lord create Spinal Tap, and couldn't he have rested on that day too?'

It was the eleventh.

100% serious. * Madness, Sonseed were the true kings of 80s ska.

 

[Richard Pryor]

That's a Bob Dylan song who is Jewish.

Dylan became a hardcore born again Christian in the late 70s iirc. Made some weird gospel albums.

Nick Cave thread
From post/punk/goth/heroin
4 decades later rarely misses the lord in his output

Good read

Great song
Shamelessly ripped by Nick Cave to create "Deanna"

 

[rank and file]

Well there you go
Stan Grant says Nick Cave takes it to the next level

 

[Gough]

Well there you go
Stan Grant says Nick Cave takes it to the next level

That old adage about the Dead rings true to Nick Cave these days, he's not the best in the world at what he does, he's the only in the one that does it.

Ah yes, the music is good, as an excuse for the preposterously shallow theology. Most of the christian music of any consequence, sung publicly in the past 140 years, has been performed by American blacks. The residue is confected sh1t.
