while we're on the subject of fave christian rockers, don't forget
switchfoot, whose insanely catchy "meant to live" was one of my fave
rock records of 2004.


My neighbor Dale is very into music and especially christian rock.  He LOVES
Switchfoot. I still have not heard them. Just above Switchfoot, his real
favorite and one that I have actually heard (via a living room show he
hosted long ago) is The Lost Dogs.  They have come up on this list before,
but unless I missed it, I don't think on this thread?  Anyway, they have
some great stuff too and I actually have several of their discs. They have
the usual influences Beatles, Beach Boys, Tom Petty,  but really very solid
stuff..real "pros".  

Thanks to Stewart for the The Get Quick recommendation and the reminder (for
me anyway) that I need to pick up Asteroid No. 4 (they totally dropped off
my radar). Also to Michael for the Novillero recommendation.  The title
alone of their disc (" Aim Right for the hole in their lives") is oddly
intriguing to me.
