It’s Easier Said Than Done

I don’t remember the date but I do remember the day I first heard about King’s X. It was late 1989 and I was at my buddy Roger’s house. We had been in a band together and liked the same kind of music. I don’t know what we were listening to when Roger said, “Hey, […]

My Top Five Perfect Pop Songs

I have several longer posts in the works but I wanted to post something since they are not ready to share. I’m currently doing rankings of every studio album by King’s X, Sweet Comfort Band, and Iron Maiden. Lord willing, the King’s X one will be finished early next week, followed by Sweet Comfort Band.

Styx – Circling From Above (2025) – A Review

Four out of Five **** My copy of Styx’s eighteenth album came today (6/9). I have been listening to the first single since it was released back in May. Someone posted the entire album on YouTube a couple of days and I listened to it in the background, knowing that my copy was on the […]

Styx have a new studio album (their eighteenth) and are currently selling it at shows and on their website. It’s called Circling From Above and the first single (Build And Destroy) is streaming. The entire album is set to fully release on July 18th. I really like the single and have ordered the album on […]

Ten Of My Favorite CCM Albums

I once sat down to compile a list of the ten best albums released by Christian artists but soon discovered that I could not whittle my list down to ten. I couldn’t even get it below fifteen, so ten was completely out of the question. So, I decided to give you a list of ten […]

My Stryper Experience

In this post I will rate and briefly discuss every Stryper album. I own the majority of these but have listened to the ones I don’t own. The Yellow And Black Attack (1984) ***** I bought the original six song EP after hearing Soldiers Under Command in July of 1986. I was totally blown away […]

An Old Album Review

Originally, I had planned to do a weekly review on Saturdays. I also planned to write every day. I am still going to attempt that (for the time being) but I think I am going to do reviews for older albums on Saturday. I have a bunch of them archived and I’m constantly writing new […]

A blast from the past

I start my “new” blogging schedule tomorrow. I made a post on TwiXter this morning about seeing U2 on M-TV back in the day and not realizing they were a “Christian” band. That got me to thinking. I made a similar post on my old blog about that. I searched and found it and am […]

I Wonder How It Makes You Feel

I’m not trying to be overly dramatic but every now and then a song’s lyrics will become much more than some words being sung over music. Don’t get me wrong, there have been MANY excellent songwriters and there still are MANY excellent songwriters who really have important things to say. However, I’m talking about something […]
