I was thinking through a list of the top 10 Christian Rock songs of the 80s and 90s and would love some nominations from you old guys. Shoot.

As for the 90's, these were the best, because I listened to them:
POD (Snuff the Punk & Brown)
EDL (every day life)
MxPx
Supertones
ValuPac
Delirious
Starflyer 59
Soulfood76
Ghoti Hook
Five Iron Frenzy
Jars of Clay
Plankeye
Stavesacre
Zao
Back then it was also Chevelle (Point No. 1), because everyone thought they were a Christian band, but the joke was on us.
There are some others but my mind can't stretch back that far. As soon as I can get them off the tip of my tongue I'll write them down. I might have to get out my box of cassette tapes to remember the names.

Us older posters are more likely to be up then. Nature calls earlier and more frequently.
