Guilty Pleasures
Wednesday, August 12, 2009 at 6:19PM If you grew up as a Christian in the 80's and 90's, chances are pretty good that you grew up listening to Christian music. Some households (such as my own) went so far as to ban all music that was not Christian!
Surprisingly, I'm not bitter about this fact.
And though my taste in music has improved greatly since I began exploring the world of "secular" music, there are still a few, choice, Christian albums that I listen to every now and then. I call them "guilty pleasures".
I am convinced that all Christians have certain old Christian albums they still pop in and enjoy from time to time. Albums that they know they would be ridiculed for listening to, were any of their music-snob friends to find out that they still do.
A couple of my "guilty pleasures" are Amy Grant's "Lead Me On" and DC Talk's "Free At Last".
What are some of yours? Go on, don't be shy. This is a safe place.

ANY of the early DC Talk, pre-Jesus Freak. Amy Grant's "Heats In Motion," "Lead Me On," and her 1986 greatest hits compilation. Michael W. Smith's "Change Your World," and the very first Gospel Gangstas tape. Plus most of what NSoul records released in the early 1990's. (Sozo, Nitro Praise, Prodigal Sons, Scott Blackwell, etc.)
Hey David,
I'm friends w/your Mom and Dad.... Every now and then I check out your site.
If I'm going to be honest (and safe) here.....
Amy Grant also. "Angels Watching Over Me" is a great song.
Twila Paris. Her Sanctuary album was so creative.
