i love 80s music!
dunno what it is; the synths, the fake drums or the experimental sound, i just love all of it! i thought to myself, lets find some christian 80s music (like new wave, synthpop, etc... y'know the main 80s styles) but i spent a good few years actually trying to find anything!most christian music is the same sort of thing, either urban, RnB sorta stuff, or rocky-indie stuff, which are not my favourite genres in the world!
i could find christian bands that were around in the 80s, but their music just wasn't the style. well, finally the search is over!
if there is any other 80s fans out there that have struggled with finding this, then here is a list of some great ones i have found:
Quickflight: not all the songs have christian themes, but they are absolutely immense! and so underrated! my favourite band, by far
definately look for 'water of life', 'fade to glory' and my favourite, 'metro alien'
stryper: their early stuff had a very glam metal 80s sound to it. look for 'to hell with the devil' and 'soldiers under command'
flock 14: quite a lot of their songs have that 80s sound to it. more of a subtle, quieter sound, but good all the same. look for 'disposable people'
vector: havent heard them much, but i think theyre songs have like moral themes and stuff. theyre good anyway! look for 'the hunger and the thirst'.
steve taylor: controversial artist, some songs with a good 80s sound. look for 'meltdown', that's my fave
and these aren't strictly 80s, but they have a different sound that steers away from the usual christian music sound:
joy electric-children of the lord. its weird to start off with, but once you get used to the unique sound, you'll find yourself singing along
World wide message tribe (or 'the tribe)- 90s dance group with strong christian messages. i really like their stuff. they've got loads of songs, so you'll easily find some!
newsboys -i'm not ashamed, is a song i really like. it has got reminiscents of an 80s influence, and some of their really early stuff had the 80s touch to it too. they've got loads of music though, i think they're quite popular.
jars of clay-flood. okay, its kind of the usual sort of thing, but i really like this song, you should hear it
family force 5-love addict. its kind of crunk-rock sound. i quite like this, check it out!
another band i've heard about that were around apparently in the 80s is 'mad at the world'-dunno what they're like, but you can check them out!
hope someone finds this useful or interesting. if you have any more 80s christian music, or just some unique stuff that steers away from the usual, then please discuss!
