I really like listening to Jimmy Clifton. Best are Appalachian Sinner, Razor Blade, Hypocrite, Crucified in Christ, save your tears , and Before the Throne of God Above. They really help with people struggling with porn such as I
Appalachian sinner
Save your tears
Razor Blade
Hypocrite
Before The Throne of God Above
I like Silent Weeper. I really like the sound engineering; especially the background electronica effects, and the layered reverb chorus at the end. Some sweet minor cord tonality melodies. I can see why it stuck with you.
Which songs in my "sample list" do you are the best songs?
GWH, I feel like I can ask you about this tourney cause you named a Larry Norman song. (I enjoyed The Rock That Doesn't Roll). I can tell from your two selections you have sizable christian music catalog in your head. I'll point out you didn't select Only Visiting This Planet, I Wish We'd All Been Ready, Why Don't You Look Into Jesus, Why Should The Devil, I Am the Six O'Clock News. Just curious, do you think The Rock That Doesn't Roll is a better song than those? If not, is there a reason you selected The Rock instead?
The problem with the progress of this fun tourney is by-in-large people's choices are literally too varied and/or obscure. In a manner of speaking, the participants who know christain music are pointing out "gems" or private favs that the vast majority have missed and are lost in an endless sea of songs. Which is fine, except it's the opposite purpose of the tourney.
Case in point, after 3 pages there isn't one song repeated. (LOL) Which means there are no "song contestants" yet.
There's no problem when I've done song tourney's for the best Classic Rock Songs of all-time... where a consensus easily develops. Why would christian music be a problem?
Thy Word - Amy Grant has made its way into hymnals as a standard. A "legend in its own time" so to speak, and no one selected it. Does anyone even know the song anymore? Do they think it's average now? Are new songs coming out so fast there's no longer a memory of stellar popular songs?
Considering the bestselling christian albums all-time... nobody selected a song from DC Talk, Switchfoot, Michael W Smith, POD or Amy Grant.
There are two Petra song (thanks @Gojira) but not the same one.
What do you think? Do ya think I didn't explain the purpose of the tourney well enough? Do you think most of the people on this forum think all songs are exactly the same in quality? Do they think they are being immoral if they acknowledge some songs are aesthetically better? Do they think if they name a great song they're being "too common"? Is it they can't resist naming a "semi" obscure fav rather than name something obvious? Do people have no memory of songs that stood out as being strongly liked by most people in the history of christian music?

Like currently, the first 2 or 3 notes of these 3 songs come on and my daughters like "oh! Mom likes this song." (sometimes before I even know/realize what's playing )

Then there's what I like to call timeless classics, like the old hymns, or the worship songs that are just great (powerful) no matter what the circumstance.

Don't run into many who know Lamb.
My husband introduced me to their music.
I found one of their cd's in a thrift store for $1 and was going to get it for an extra/backup, then my son saw it in my cart and knowing we already had a copy asked "COOL! Is that for me?" I couldn't resist and had to give it to him.
