Hey there all! I was wondering what "Classic Christian Rock" bands do you like (60s, 70s, 80s, even 90s lol). Stuff like Larry Norman, Petra (which is my all time favorite band!), Phil Keaggy, Legend Seven, Ken Tamplin, David Zaffiro, Novella White Heart, PFR etc.
I really like this song but it may be in the 2000s...

They started out as rap then switched to alternative before dying out. I'd label them closer to a boy band than a rock band.
twis why I have a hard time with Newsboys UNITED.........
because Tait brings a sound to them that is to much DC Talk style
I loved old Newsboys, and liked DC Talk, BUT the 2 mixed together is ehhhh okay. Although Newsboys (UNITED) is better now that Peter Furler and Phil Joel (both origional Newsboys ) are back on board.

I didn't get into Christian Rock bands back then but I sure enjoyed Keith Green man his music still speaks to me.

I never really listened to either of them. But I was a teen when they were big and actually saw both in concert.
But I've no idea about any of this you're talking about 😅

one of them was rap/hip hop, the other two added their bit.
They were literally labeled as a rap group when they first started. Rap beats and rapping.
And let's not forget this little gem.
