I remember these three names, but I don't think I've ever heard them.

Anybody remember AGAPE'?

Very cool. I love Prodigal and In3D particularlly. I have the Prodigal albums on cd! They are copies from the L.P.'s that I bought around 2000-01. I'd love to have the In3D albums on cd.

wow what a flashback!!!
This has got me thinking! I may have to come back to this

I really loved the Prodigal album, I think it was called The Future Now. Never heard the other stuff but man I loved that record. I am pretty sure Whiteheart lifted that album when they put out Don't Wait For the Movie. Lots of similarities

Actually, it's Just Like Real Life. I just got it again on cassette. Awesome stuff.

I love Edin Adahl's X-Factor. Didn't keep up with them after that. I'm very fortunate to have a cassette and a CD-R that I got from the seller.

I still have the vinyl for a lot of my old Christian rock stuff! One day I ought to digitize it. I just need to buy a worthwhile turntable.

I have not heard of any of them

Just picked up Prodigal's self-titled release on cassette.

I just got the trilogy (first 3) by Lamb.

I'm still looking frantically for Derek Smalls' foray into Christian Rock with the band LAMBSBLOOD.

That was a gag I do believe

But that would be waaay cool

NOOOO!!! Say it ain't so!

I remember IN3D. Sort of police meets metal sound if I do recall. And I loved Prodigal's, Electric Eye in the day. Wonder if I still would. Too bad so much of christian music is not out on CD.

Also check out this stuff that I have and like:

THE YOUNG BROTHERS~High Energy Rock (1978)
MARANATHA~Soon (1971)
WHITSUNTIDE EASTER~Next Time You Play A Wrong Note (1977)
DAMASCUS ROAD~I Am A Light (1982)
THE 4TH MOVEMENT~S/T (1980)
THE 4TH MOVEMENT~Totally (1982)
THE FOUR CORNERS GOSPEL EXPERIENCE~Praise You LORD (1975)
INDELIBLE INC.~For Now 1 (1972)
INDELIBLE INC.~For Now 2 (1972)
EZEKIAL~Inspired At The Cross (1977)
WHITE HARVEST~S/T (1976)

And the king of them all.....this puppy will peel the paint off your walls. This is--hands down and no question--my favorite (by a wide, wide margin) out of all the stuff above it. This was one of the very first hard/heavy/metal Christian bands and albums that I ever heard, after becoming a Christian. So for me......it not only holds nostalgic value, it has a certain *heart* value too.

STRONGHOLD~Fortress Rock (1982)

I am going to give a website that you can find all the above at. But first let me say that a lot of that stuff in the earlier posts on this thread is too mellow for my tastes. That said, please understand that these listed above (beside the STRONGHOLD disc) are not rock/hard rock every song......but these bands/albums listed above do meet my tastes and musical qualifications.

Also, I acknowledge that I am a bit of an enigma regarding my musical tastes and that most peeps do not like it as rock/metal/loud as I do. So on this website I give.......check it out. There are some real, real older gems here. Mellow yes, not for me, but for others there is some good stuff here. The site:

I've been fortunate enough to get Prodigal's self titled and Just Like Real Life on cassette . . haven't found Electric Eye yet

I used to wear out my Undercover tapes

THAT IS HILARIOUS! I just finished posting about them in the Melancholy thread!

You know they were dark but kinda happy as well.
"three nails, three days, one way to god"
I loved darkest hour too

Well I originally got hooked on the band during the bumper sticker era but Branded came out and ruled my world. It really spoke to me and where I was at when I was far far away from God. So I am connected to the later era of the band more

But 3-28-87 is possible the greatest live album ever and I am so bummed they never released a video of that. I think Sim's version of 3 days (an excellent tune) is awesome and Gym's live sound and playing is just phenomenal guitar!

That is a great live album and the only thing I have by them. It does have some emotional depth to it for sure.
