The Petra Zone

Hmm, the Definitive Collection...the latest 'Greatest Hits" Album to end all "Greatest Hits" Albums. :D Yes, because it "defines" all the others. http://www.guidetopetra.com/smilies/rolleyes2.gif (Actually, it's part of a pretty extensive series of "definitive collection" CDs for different artists....

The only problem I see is that Petra did not record one cover song, since the one you have listed is not God Gave Rock and Roll to You. That's a good catch! I suppose GGR&RTY could be considered a "rewrite" although you guys are right... closer to a cover than a parody, for sure. I don't have the t...

D'OH we already have plans that evening with tobyMac, BarlowGirl, and Thousand Foot Krutch!

"freaking blow a banana"? Are you sure this stuff is appropriate?

I've got my list of connections between Kansas and Petra ready to go. It's not linked from anywhere else on the site yet... gotta figure out where would be a logical place. Hmm.

Anyway, stop by and see what you think.

I've got it added... happy now? Sheesh! If I add every silly little Petra Greatest Hits Collection that comes out, it'll be like a full-time job! Somebody buy it from my site quick, so I'll feel like I accomplished something!

There were only about three artist names I wasn't familiar with, and those three are the original artists of songs that have since become well-known church P&W songs. There is no "Crystal Taff"... that's a Crystal Lewis song right after a Russ Taff song, so obvious misprint. Looks to me like they di...

I've reactivated his logins... both the "jonathan" one and the "j0nathan" one. Tell him to try and log in again now.

What did he do to get himself blacklisted? Post a spam about eating peanut butter in the buff or something?

In the 90's I listened to both Petra and Kerry Livgren's christian group AD without knowing about the link between the two. (John Elefante was a singer in Kerry's group Kansas, and John&Dino wrote some of Kansas' songs during this short period). I have a pretty interesting list of the connections b...

As counterintuitive as it may seem in this age of iPods and digital downloads, vinyl -- the favorite physical format of indie music collectors and audiophiles -- is poised to re-enter the mainstream, or at least become a major tributary. Talk to almost anyone in the music business' vital indie and ...

Who has he requested help from? I don't recall hearing from him, although I don't get my email checked every single day. Why don't you pm me what the issue is and I'll get it fixed.

Ooo, I ought to add that sometime.

Why did my post get deleted? What did I do!!! I deleted your post because it said "Maybe this post should be moved to Other Topics!" and I moved it to other topics and figured you would feel like you looked like a nut if you were requesting that a post be moved to the forum that it was already in. ...

Here's a fun quiz about Christian music in 1986. Appropriately, many of the questions have to do with Petra or Greg X. Volz.

Remember 1986? Quiz

My score was 22/25 (I missed one of the questions about Greg X. ...how embarrassing!!)

Greg Bailey? Or Greg Volz? I think the actual answer is "no" or "neither" or something like that. Volz's shirt does have a flying V guitar on it but I don't think it's a Petra shirt.
