Would have considered a couple more.<br /><br />Bruce Cockburn- amazing singer/songwriter from Canada. Social justice and God together on the menu. Amazing worldview.<br /><br />The Call/Michael Been- Great band and the singer had the guts to appear in the movie The Last Temptation of Christ.<br /><br />Midnight Oil- Australian band that stands for the aboriginese. Lead singer now in Aussie govt.<br /><br />Sam Phillips/T Bone Burnett- especially for divorced believers everywhere.<br /><br />Mike Scott/The Waterboys- for the mystical travellers.<br /><br />Thanks for your blog.Paul Leadernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061650.post-52174051317409679882009-04-13T13:31:00.000-04:002009-04-13T13:31:00.000-04:00rick, great job. I totally agree with you. And I...rick, <BR/><BR/>great job. I totally agree with you. And I've been wishing church music could sound more like AF or the Decemberists for awhile. Songs like "Headlights look like Diamond" from AF's EP was for me just about the perfect song. And if Chris Tomlin would only write a song that sounded like "Crane Wife 1 & 2" of the Decemberists, I would probably kiss him.geoffrey holsclawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315656374467205541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061650.post-91290156499916832982009-04-13T11:21:00.000-04:002009-04-13T11:21:00.000-04:00I look forward to checking out previous posts of t...I look forward to checking out previous posts of this series but this was a fantastic post. <BR/><BR/>I remember the first time I heard the Arcade Fire, a senior in my high school youth group said it was the most amazing thing he'd heard. I too was moved by Funerals and was actually worried that their follow-up would not meet the high expectations they had set for themselves. But Neon Bible was brilliant and it sounded great live. I also like that they recorded it in a studio converted from a church.<BR/><BR/>I didn't realize David Dark wrote about them but I loved what he said about Radiohead in Everyday Apocalypse. I'll have to check that out too.Timhttp://www.blackcoffeereflections.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061650.post-36210507569540038732009-04-11T00:29:00.000-04:002009-04-11T00:29:00.000-04:00I must say I didn't guess this one, but I'm right ...I must say I didn't guess this one, but I'm right there with you. Arcade Fire certainly deserves the crown. Good pick. Great series! It's been a good read all the way though.CPepitonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14359796830467222890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061650.post-18631981531583169302009-04-10T22:34:00.000-04:002009-04-10T22:34:00.000-04:00Great post, Rick.
