Tenth Avenue North: Over and Underneath
Geez, this album has touched me so much. I feel like every song relates to me and my walk with Christ.
Besides the lyrics, they're also really, really talented musicians.

I've been listening to Supper's Ready by Genesis for about two weeks straight now. I had always boycotted Genesis because I didn't like Phil Collins, though I did like Peter Gabriel and knew some of their older stuff.
This Gabriel era song is a 23 minute prog masterpiece—I can't believe it took me so long to listen to it. It is one of the most incredible piece of rock music I have ever heard. A bit surrel lyrically, but it culminates with a section Gabriel wrote after reading Revelation and it's just chilling:
"There's an angel standing in the sun, and he's crying with a loud voice,
"This is the supper of the mighty One",
The Lord of Lords,
King of Kings,
Has returned to lead His children home,
To take them to the new Jerusalem."

Yeah, love RHCP! .
I've got 3 albums:
Blood Sugar Sex Magic - quite a raw sound, love it
Californacation - more 'clean' that BSSM and more mature. Has the right amount of more heavy material mixed with some softer stuff. My favourite RHCP album
Stadium Arcadium - much more mature sound, but for some reason I don't like it as much as the other two albums I've got...not sure what it is. Still great though.

Whats wrong with Phil Collins, he's a good drummer and singer. Oh and Nick, I am a very big Peppers fan.[/quote:1oxk9akk]Lewis W said:
Yeah, he's fine, he was just so overexposed in the 80s—e was everywhere. But I still prefer Gabriel.

There is some problems with this band towards Christianity read on.
Drottnar is a technical and progressive extreme metal band from Fredrikstad, Norway. They formed in 1996 playing death-doom and viking metal. Drottnar has played at notable festivals such as Sweden's Endtime Fest[1], Norway's Nordic Fest[2], Switzerland's Elements of Rock[3], Finland's Immortal Metal Fest[4] and United Kingdom's Destruction Fest[5] and they frequently play concerts throughout Europe.
The band has released two albums, Spiritual Battle (2000) and Welterwerk (2006), and an EP titled Anamorphosis (2003). The first album was released on UK label Plankton Records. They are currently signed to Swedish label Endtime Productions (Extol, Antestor, Crimson Moonlight).[6][7]
Drottnar is the plural(sing. Drottinn, Norwegian "Drott") of an Icelandic word for master, ruler or king, often applied to Jesus Christ.[8] Originally adopting a more mystic Viking image, the band is currently known for their peculiar political thematics and live shows where they use military uniforms reminiscent of the DDR or Soviet style.
While the band started out playing death-doom and folk influenced Viking (un)black metal, Drottnar's music since 2003's Anamorphosis EP is describable as modern black metal. The style is more technical and chaotÃc than melodic, and emphasizes on nihilistic, cold atmosphere.[13]
In the beginning the band's lyrics dealt with Christianity with a brutal and extreme approach: The lyrics on the album Spiritual Battle were inspired by the Book of Revelation and dealt mostly with the battle ravaging the spiritual world.[8] The band members have said "The Norwegian black metal scene does not influence our lyrics, but the lyrics are still written in a black metal way, fitting our music well."[8] Currently the lyrics incorporate politics and philosophy, for example Latin phrases such as "ad hoc" or "sine qua non".[10]
Megaphone is a recognizable element of Drottnar's live shows.
Drottnar's early live shows incorporated flashing strobes, thick smoke and cold or dark light show. They also used white candles on stage, "creating a bit mystic and emotional effect."[8]
Currently Drottnar has had a special feature for several years, the use of Czech or "Soviet" style elements: the song titles and lyrics contain Soviet-sounding words and metaphors, some songs contain samples of radio play or radio communication elements involved in the 20th century[14], and at concerts all band members use Soviet or "DDR" type uniforms.[9] They still use stroboflashes at their concerts. The vocalist Sven-Erik Lind typically uses effects such as megaphones to create a militant atmosphere.
In November 2006, the Drottnar members played as session musicians for the one-man unblack metal pioneer group Horde at Nordic Fest. The members covered their faces in order to not be recognized and to maintain the "myth" of Horde.[9]

"What's in your cd player right now?"
My HHR has a 6-disk player, and 4 of the slots are Me and the HIghlanders band that I started back in '98 and was part of for about 7 years. We played Bluegrass, and Bluegrass gospel - and we DID the music that I personally like, and I KNEW the personalities and the spirituality of the folks in the band - and they're all "Real". It blesses me to hear it - still.
There's also an "Electic" disk with 'grass, barbershop, gospel, praise (And right now the "Milk Cow Boogie", and Catfish John).
And the last disk is the band that I'm with now - it's not a blessing - yet. Maybe it'll "come together" - 'grass isn't "Brain Surgery" - but some folks have issues with the "timing".
I don't listen to music generally at home, but if I do it'll be 'grass, and 'grass gospel. IN the office I can't listen to music at all since it's too distracting.
"What does your music say about you?'
That I like music with a solid BEAT, and a positive message (either Secular OR Spiritual). It says that I have no interest whatsoever in the "Popular music of my day", or the "Artists", and never bother with it.
With few exceptions I don't listen to, or care about "Contemporary Christian noise" (even though I play it regularly in the worship team). Bottom line - I like the music that folks make without having to be PAID to do it, and I like the music I make (whether anybody else does or not).
