What music does SI listen to?

I'm so tired of my cd's. I need something new. All I really have is Keith Green, Rich Mullins, and Jason Upton.

Can anyone recommend something new/powerful? Who do you guys like?

Fernando Ortega is my favorite CD right now. He does a whole CD of Hymns called "Hymns of Worship". He also has a lot of other hymns on the CD "Beginnings".

Well if you like country and folk music, you must hear Rick and Bebe worships... Is beutiful, original, powerful and genuine...Take a look to the site: www.rickandbebe.com
And like two months ago I've heard a new worshiper that has very beutiful and stirring music, and of course as it may be, you can feel all the love and awe that his heart have for God. His name is Andrew Phillip and this is his webpage: www.andrewphillip.com

Hope you´ll be blessed with this untainted music

I would reccomend the "Living Sacrifice" album from Christ Our Life. It is free for download.[url=www.christourlife.ca]Christ Our Life[/url]
I think if you look under the Godly Music section under speakers A-F on this site(Sermonindex) it is listed there as well.

Can anyone recommend something new/powerful?

Santana,

I can recommend something old/powerful - anything by Charles Wesley, Isaac Watts, John Newton, Philip Doddridge or Elisha Hoffman. Go to www.cyberhymnal.org and do a search for songs under the names of those men. I haven't found anything that compares.

I think Greg has a link to godly music here on SI. I recommened Charity Hymns and Congregational hymns. I also like Russel's hymns, because he's a classical guitarist like myself. Under Charity Hymns, listen to "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross" - you'll be in tears before the first verse ends. Once God opens up the majesty of these old songs to you, you'll never listen to contemporary Christian worship the same again.

However, I understand if this old stuff isn't quite what you had in mind! It's worth a try, though! You've got nothing to lose, and pure bliss to gain.

Hymns if I can find 'em

Ohh...what a beutiful lyric!! Thanks for recommending them, in this momment i'm listening "cry for humility", without any doubt the prayer that our heart cries out despairingly to our God in Heaven... I have an old sister that lives in Israel and has a wonderful call to worship, and with no doubt I will burn for her a cd with this songs so she and the group in Israel can sing them in the streets of Jerusalem.
Thanks again, in Christ

Matt Redman is also really good. Serving over in Hong Kong I can't afford to buy CD's - so I'm downloading free ones like the ones for download off sermonindex and also - ** www.fireonthealtar.com - they're sermons mixed with music. :-D

I especially recomend
Revival Fire [url=http://fireonthealtar.com/compilations/Revival%20Fire%201.mp3]Revival Fire - track 1[/url] [url=http://fireonthealtar.com/compilations/Revival%20Fire%202.mp3]Revival Fire - track 2[/url]

I like MercyMe, Chris Tomlin, Jeremy Camp. Hillsong worship has some nice music. Rita Springer's Created to Worship is one of my favorites. I like FFH, Casting Crowns, Carman, Charles Billingsley's album Secret Conversation is nice. Ray Boltz, Robin Mark, Terry MacAlmon is one of my favorites...

but mostly I just listen to sermons from sermon index... :-P

Exactly what kind of music are you looking for?

Have you tried the old stuff? The kind that was popular 40 years ago? That music preaches sermons! Sunday mornings my DH & I love to listen to Tennessee Ernie Ford on the radio. He is old - BTW, he did live after the flood! ;-)

Do you like a cappella music? not the group that goes by the name but this type? Emmanual Quartet is beautiful...plus there are a host of others, but you will have to look for them - they will likely not be in your bookstore down the street.

Personally, I am very ignorant of modern music groups and their music because I cannot tolorate their sound. Scratching your fingernails on the blackboard would sound just as edifying [to me]! :-P

Actually, what has happened to me is that when I was a youth, I abandoned the music popular when a child, only to come back to it now that I am older!!

That was too funny. :-P

Hi everyone :-)

I'm listening to Handel's [i]Messiah[/i] right now.

In the providence of God I had purchased a copy of this years before I was converted to Christ. Once I came to Christ and played it the words took on all new and real meaning! Praise God!

For those who may not know, the words are Scripture set to orchestral/choir music. As far as I know there are no words of man in the entire work, but only Scripture. The recording I have is over two hours in length.

As the name suggests, the entire theme and subject is The Lord Jesus Christ. As the No. 20 Chorus sings

[i]Behold the Lamb of God[/i]

hm, propably you wouldnt know any of the bands i'd post :)

ya big teaser. :-P

This is likely my favorite! I love to listen to a live performace of it which is done during the Christmas season in the south. But in recent years they only sing/play parts of it, stopping in the middle somewhere which just drives me crazy - which means I will no longer go to listen to a live Messiah concert - just listen to my CDs.
