You named a couple I don't really remember. What is your age if you don't mind me asking. I am 42. So my wheel house for this stuff was like '87-'94.[/quote]

41 last August. I'm from the south east my church was pretty good with the youth group they gave us a building that we turned into kind of like a weekend club for teenagers foosball ping pong live music. we had a lot of church bands from the tri-state area that would come out so we were introduced to a lot of kind of young upstarts and each year we would take part in a Gatlinburg youth retreat Ski Invasion a lot of bands would play there too.[/quote]

[quote=ynwtf]Haha OMG yes!!
I admit I did have their cassette. I could bridge them to those early 90s hair metal holdouts so there were a few tracks is listen to ;)

Man. I'm trying to remember the name of this one pop rock group that cane to my church once but no luck. I bought a bandana. Also, Sunday Blue was a good alt rock live. Their album sounded local but they were really good. They later broke up and formed My Sister Stephanie. I think. Ugh. Stilll bugging about the name of that one group...[/quote]

[quote=seanc][quote=ynwtf][quote=seanc]It's funny Newsboys was brought up because that was a band I never cared for as a teen. I really like their music now but their old stuff still doesn't do it for me. That is a band that has had a lot of turnover but I never liked DC Talk either and that's where their lead singer comes from. Oh well, I am sure that is plenty of Newsboys talk for the shoutbox. Most Mofos probably have no clue who they even are.[/quote]

Trippy. That was the rage with all my church friends in high school. I could never get into them though. Something about contemporary Christian music at the time sounding over produced and cold, in a weird sterile way. To me, at least, it was like comparing guitar tones between Steve Vai and Hendrix. Not to compare Vai to Hendrix, I'm only trying to describe how different in sound contemporary Christian music was compared to secular rock/pop. Production tone/warmth, not technique ;)[/quote]


The station I listen to here dies throwback on Sunday night's. Ugh, I don't know how we listened to it. Remember Stryper?[/quote]

[quote=Sedai]The story is a bit long and perhaps too involved for the Shoutbox, but in short, there are questions as to who actually painted the two versions, when they were painted, and why the second version was changed in certain ways. The Archangel Uriel is no longer pointing at John the Baptist, and the angle of her gaze is no longer a side-eye at the viewer that perhaps hinted at a deeper meaning to her gestures. I won't elaborate too much on the gestures, but some interpretations are rather macabre, almost as if the virgin is holding an invisible head, and Uriel is drawing her finger across its throat. 

So, the first version was allegedly kicked back by the church that commissioned it for violating dogmatic principle, and for being borderline sacrilegious. 

Pretty interesting stuff, but kind of rife with conjecture and speculation.[/quote]
