My Top 25 Music Countdown: 25-21

I'm going to do a series of posts, mixed in with my regular blogging, on my top twenty-five Christian/Positive albums I've listened to. Ever. I'll post five at a time, tell why I like it, list favorite songs, and maybe even link a video. Nothing serious here, and I'm not a music critic, so enjoy!


25. Nine Lashes-World We View (Rock)
    *Jammed with radio friendly tunes, all of which can be listened to over and over again.
    *Positive and uplifting messages throughout.
    *Best Songs: "Believe Your Eyes," "Afterglow,"  "Adrenaline."



    

24. Family Force 5- Dance or Die ( Dance/Crunk rock)
     *Full of extremely lighthearted, catchy, and fun songs.
     *Underlying Christian ideals, veiled in awesomeness that is hard to get out of your head.
     *Best Songs: "D-I-E-4-Y-O-U," "Dance or Die," "Radiator."

        




23. Flatfoot 56- Black Thorn (Punk Rock/ Celtic Rock)
     * Good guys, making really good punk rock with a Celtic twist.
     * Wide variety of sounds, including pipes.
     * Gritty and real.
     * Best songs: "Smoke Blower,"  "Stampede."

        

22. Anberlin- Blueprints For The Black Market (rock/alternative)

    *The first CD from a band that has been around for what seems like forever.

    * Solid rock songs that I still sing a long with.

    * Lyrics that are emotional and raw.

    *Best songs- "Ready Fuels," "Glass to Arson."

     

 

 

21. The Overseer- We Search, We Dig. (Heavy rock/ Metal)

    *Realistic Christian lyrics

    * Heavy, emotion filled music with a ton of originality in a bland genre.

    *Screaming is timed perfectly and drives home whatever feeling they are trying to convey.

    *Best songs- "Estrange," "Dredge," "Amend," "Absolve."
