The Town of Odyssey

I'm sick of listening to the same music over and over, so does anyone have suggestions?

Some music I like...

• "Blessings" by Laura Story
• "Time" from Inception
• "In Christ Alone" by Owl City
• "Come Thou Fount" by Twila Paris

I only have one guideline: no rock backbeats. Can you think of any of your favorite songs that I may like?

Awh *melts*

This gon' be interesting, since I don't know what you like (and 4 songs hardly counts ), but I shall try my best.

Shad.. lol. That music is pretty epic.

Road Trip by Jon Schmidt
And other songs by Jon Schmidt.

lol, most of those are straight-up rock, sis. I'll take a second listen to Lux Aeterna, A Drop in the Ocean, Jar of Hearts, Losing Your Memory (digg this guy's voice) and Someone Like You. Thanks for all the suggestions!! I enjoyed the long list.

You listen to rap, bro? This I did not know... lol.

Wait, so, it's just piano music? I did think that song was pretty good.

Note: From now on, I'd prefer it if most of the songs were... Christian ("Blessings") or epic ("Time"). No random romancey songs.

I really like the first movement of the "Holberg Suite" and "Last Spring" by Edvard Grieg.

High Noon and Mystery of Mercy, both by Andrew Peterson.

I'll list some of the ones I enjoy listening to, warning though, some of them might be quite a few years old.

People Need the Lord - Steve Green
El Shaddai - Michael Card
Why - Michael Card
Come to the Table - Michael Card
Heeling Begins - Tenth Avenue North
Better Than a Hallelujah - Amy Grant
Our God - Chris Tomlin
Grace - Laura Story

And I'll probably think of more, but those are the ones off the top of my head.

Well, how was I supposed to know that? You think I'm an expert in song genres?

..at least WW appreciates them.

Well coming from a girl's playlist.. you should have specified.

Edit: Oh. lol. I meant Shad as in "Shadowfax" Didn't know Shad was a rap group.


But since AE is a physically mature guy, Shadow, you should've known that he would not like romancey songs.

"Sound of Melodies" - Leeland
"How Wonderful" - Leeland
"Majesty" - Leeland
"Hero"- Abandon
"Known"- Abandon
"This is Love" - Cool Hand Luke
"Consume Me" - dcTalk
"Coming Back to Life" - Echoing Angels
"I Am" - Finding Favour
"White as Snow" - Haste the Day
"Everything" - Lifehouse
"One Touch" -Nicole C Mullen
"In Your Presence O God" - Paul Wilbur
Anything Daniel Eric Groves... if you can find anything.

So yeah, that basically sums up my non-rock on my iTunes.

Any song by Michael W. Smith, particularly his "A New Hallelujah" album! If you want instrumental, "Freedom" is a fantastic album!
Any song by Chris Tomlin, especially his "And If Our God is For Us" album!
"Better Than I" - Dallyn Vail Bayles (apparently it's on an animated Joseph movie, but I haven't seen the movie. I just love the song!)
Any song from Downhere (my favourite is their "Ending and Beginning" album, but their new one, "On the Altar of Love," is great too.) Two songs to consider listening to: "Hope is Rising" and "For Life."
"As It Is in Heaven" - Matt Maher
"Movin' on Up" by Third Day and "All in the Serve" by Michael W. Smith and "Follow Me" by MWS and Andrae Crouch - all from the "Second Chance" soundtrack
Anything by Steven Curtis Chapman - a couple of specific suggestions - "No Greater Love" and "When Love Takes You In."
Eugene Sings and Eugene Sings Christmas if your family doesn't have those CDs yet. I think they're still available through FOTF.

As I perused my personal collection, those stood out as options you might want to consider, AE.

Hey Termite, did you mean to post almost all rock groups?

Oh, and definitely look up some Fernando Ortega. I have a feeling you'd like him.

I'd start with 'Our Great God' or 'Just as I Am'.

Whitty Whit wrote:Hey Termite, did you mean to post almost all rock groups?

Rock group doesn't guarantee a rock song. For example:

I would recomend:

How He Loves- David Crowder*Band
Never Let Go- David Crowder*Band
Oh God Where Are You Now- David Crowder*Band
Spare An Angel- Chris Rice
Circle Up- Chris Rice
Mama Prays- Chris Rice
The Motions- Mattew West
Held- Natalie Grant
Revelation Song- Phillips, Craig and Dean
Amazing Grace- Twila Paris
The Warrior is a Child- Twila Paris

Anything by AC/DC or Metallica.

1: Anything by Casting Crowns
2: "Find Us Faithful" by Steve Green.

Seek and Destroy from the 1983 album Kill 'Em All.


Top beat me to it : (

None of those are what is really considered 'rock'. Perhaps more guitars than Chris Tomlin, but nothing like I Am Empire's "Brain Damage", which is a stereotypical rock tune. However, I will admit Haste the Day are hard rock screamers, but "White as Snow" is one of the best songs I've ever heard. *shrugs*

EDIT: *cough* "White as Snow" is in no way a screamo song, btw. Listen to "The Place That Most Deny" before it, and you'd think it was two different bands.

If you can take a little hip hop beat once in a while, I'd reccomend Adam Young's (Owl City) Port Blue albums. Great instrumental music.
And if you like something a little more upbeat, but not technically "rock." I'd check out the dead swing band The W's.
