Your Top 100 Christian Albums

Yes, that's a LOT of albums to list... but the idea here is, you can post a few for now, then another day edit that post and add more until you finally reach YOUR top 100 Christian albums of ALL TIME.
 
For some, this may be easier than those small lists of 5 or 10 albums.
 
Also, IF YOU WANT, you can put them in order of your MOST fav being # 1 and so on. 

ALL genres are welcome to your list - it's YOUR list, your music - but please try to keep it "Pro-Christian"
 
 
GO !

A top 100 will be a long list.
Let me think about a top 5 or top 10.

This one is going to take a little thought....it might be easier than the 5 favorite bands that Cheesy Girl made us do.

That's kind of the point. 5 or 10 Top favs are fun, but all of us inevitably are unsatisfied with our small list since there are so many others we'd like to add... but are limited to just 5 or 10.

This is a casual, take your time, put down 10 or 15 to start with, then add some more later  (be sure to use the same post - just click "edit" in the upper right of your post and add more later).
May take you a couple months, no sweat... just add albums as they come to you. If you prefer, alphabetize them so you don't accidently put down duplicates. they don't have to be numbered with the most fav being towards #1.... alphabetize them, just keep a numbered count so you don't pass the 100 mark....
 I'll be starting my list here in a few minutes.

I was expecting to see Ziad higher on your list....until I realized your list is alphabetical.

Yeh, broke my own rule... so I changed that to be an "optional" rule.

I was surprised to realize that even ONE HUNDRED is STILL not enough... I actually had trouble deciding which to add and which to lose... I could've added 13 more easily.

Coming up with a top 10 is hard enough.  I think I am too A.D.D. to come up with.....SQUIRREL!!!!

There is one I would add but the lyrics aren't bluntly Christian. Would you consider Stryper's ATL "Pro-Christian" even tho' the lyrics would fit in on a secular album?

Sorry, missed your post...
Yes, that would count. The reason I call my music collection "Pro-Christian" rather than just simply "Christian" is, it's impossible to put all these artists in a box. I like music that is created by Christians, whether they sing about their love for God, or whether they think God made convertables.... it's all PRO-Christian, or Christian-Friendly. Whether a Christian band sings some mainstream songs or a mainstream Christian sings some songs about our faith. I dig it all.
