See previous post for fuller explanation. Sorry for the delay. I somehow lost my tally sheet where i had ranked the albums. I finally just decided to redo it all, but i'm afraid that i've forgotten something. Nevertheless, here is my list of numbers 11 through 17...
17. Arriving – Chris Tomlin
Winner of a Dove award in 2005, this put the Texas songwriter firmly on the CCM map, and had legions of worshippers singing along to his catchy melodies.
16. She Must and Shall Go Free – Derek Webb
Piercing lyrics for the church from the former lead singer of Caedmon’s Call. Wedding Dress is an incredible song.
15. Get Behind Me Satan – The White Stripes
I have a feeling i would enjoy all of their albums, but this is the only one i own.
14. Add To The Beauty – Sara Groves
We’ll see more from Sara later in our top 10, but this one makes the grade.
13. The Chess Hotel – The Elms
My vote for the most overlooked album of the decade. Solid, fun, and meaningful Midwestern American rock & roll. Share it with all your friends, and rock out on Saturday night. Here are videos for "Nothin' to Do with Love", "The Way I Will", and "Bring Me Your Tea".
12. Learning to Breathe – switchfoot
Their breakthrough album, Grammy-nominated, but not their best. Three killer songs (Dare You to Move, title track, and Love is the Movement), plus 8 more solid tracks.
11. This Mystery – Nichole Nordeman
Chock-full of well-written songs. Reflective pop for the introspective, the thinkers. Check out "Why" and "Fool for You".
Next up: The Top 10
If you like this list, just wait to see the top 10. You’ll either be annoyed that i got the lists flipped, or jazzed that there could be 10 albums better than these.
