I got to this website because I love contemporary Christian music and I've been seeing Daniel Amos on Larry Norman's website, Christiandiscs, and on The Choir boxed set.
When I got to the message board, I was shocked to see some of the postings. I read ravings about The Who and Sienfeld; but insults for the Tuxedo Clad Megastar, Audio Adrenaline, dc Talk and Amy Grant. I like satire (ala Steve Taylor), but the stuff on this board seems to go too far. Taylor's satire is geared towards promoting Christian attitudes that are relevent- this board gets kind of nasty. This is not the kind of talk that is appropriate for believers.
What gives?

 Fear and Loathing on the DAmb |
     |
Yeah. What Ellie says.
Although I've always thought steve IS like a mugsy type. Without the Catholic stalker mentality and mega-baiting techniques, mind you, but there it is. 
But passionately conservative to the point of DAmb abrasive, yeah, baby, yeah. 
(but heck, so am I.... just different.... 
)
Anyway, steve: In the words of Kris Kristofferson, don't let those liberal bastards git ya' down, honey. They're just jealous that they didn't Mountain Dew you off first.

just keep in mind, servantsteve, the views expressed by people on the message board are not neccessarily endorsed by the band.
we are evill. yes.
but daniel amos rocks!!! i recommend buying all of their cds, starting with mr buechner's dream, and then taking this message board with about 500,000,000 grains of salt.
after that, if you experience itchiness, incontinence, or irritability, you may need to consult a physician. dr rich???? you in da house???

Much to my wife's chagrin, I will soon own my first Daniel Amos CD. I haven't made up my mind on which one to start the collection. From the reviews, I thought "Horrendous Disc" would be the best. Now, I'm hearing Mr. Buechner's Dream is a good start.
I've heard Daniel Amos before, although I didn't realize it. In the early 80s the only contemporary Christian station in the area at that time played the good stuff on saturday night. That's where I first heard Steve Taylor and Daniel Amos. When I saw "Travelogue" on the discography, I remembered those days. Back then, there was a great deal less CCM to choose. (I bought the Tuxedo Clad Megastar and amy Grant back then, along with 2nd chapter of Acts, Randy Stonehill, Bob Dylan, Petra, Steve Camp, Kieth Green and Larry Norman) I took a hiatus from CCM from the mid 80s until 2000 and am overwhelmed with the selection. I've bought over 200 CDs in the last 2 years, some good, some bad. Alot of the music I'm "discovering" was available even in the 80s, but I didn't know about it- Daniel Amos, Rez Band, Larry Howard, Daryl mansfield- to name some of the ones I've really enjoyed.
So let me know whch DA albums are the best. I promise not to join any CD clubs.....I know only the most popular land up there.....

It's funny you should drop by just now. I was just mentioning some of my misgivings about certain lyrics by the band themselves, actually (see the "Attack of the Pulpit Masters" thread). But like Anne said, don't take people here too seriously. It goes down easier that way. 
As for where to start with DA, Mr. Buechner's Dream is a very good place. Especially since it's still pretty new. I would recommend some of their earlier stuff, especially The Alarma Chronicles, but it sounds like a lot of people here have troubles finding other DA material. I still don't get that. But if you don't have that problem by you, I'd definitely go pick that bookset up. Or buy the individual CDs (Alarma, Doppelganger, Vox Humana, Fearful Symmetry) if the cost of the whole set is too prohibitive (but it is 4 CDs for the price of 2, if you think about it that way).
The Lost Dogs albums (which feature Terry Taylor, Mike Roe of the 77s, Derri Daugherty of The Choir and until recently "the late, great" Gene Eugene of Adam Again) are very accessible as well, especially the first two (Scenic Routes and Little Red Riding Hood). Best Of is a very good place to start, since it has a lot from both of those CDs.

where are U buying these DA and DA related works
the last time I saw the Alarma Chronicles for sale-
it was 4 CDs worth of music for the price of 5
and good luck trying to find SR or LRRH by the Dogs on CD. at least in any good shape.
I have not had this personally-but from what I read they are scarce!
Even MBD is getting harder to find.

most of the rest of ccm pretty much glows with warmth.

I don't really understand the disdain for CCM, but I can live with it. I've noticed a number of artists have set up their own sites to get a higher percentage of the profits or whatever. I thik it's great but it forces the consumer to do the research.
Glenn Kaiser has got a site called grrrr records. I think you DA fans would find alot of stuff that appeals to you there. Glenn was on of the original members of the Resurrection (Rez) Band and they sell all the available Rez albums there, along with a few of his fringe groups- I understand there's a little Christian punk, alot of Christian blues, etc.
Darryl Mansfield plays excellent harmonica and sings Christian blues like no one business- he's got his own website.
Larry Norman's got a website, too. He also features some Daniel Amos and Randy Stonehill. He was da bomb when I first got saved in 1979.
Undercover has a website. What an awesome band.
Another artist that is really good is Larry Howard. Larry used to play with the Allman brothers and has done some stuff with Kaiser and Mansfield. He's a blues guitarist that ranges from blues to southern rock. His latest album, American Roots, features members from his secular group of 20+ years agos (Griderswitch) as well as Charlie Daniels' band. It really rocks but to buy it, you have to write to his wife and send a check through the mail. You can reach him at LHBluesman@aol.com and get all the details you need. It's extremely good in my estimation.
Jesus rocks!

Just to clarify, when we say we don't like "CCM", that does not mean that we don't like all "Christian" music, or why would we listen to DA??? CCM is a moniker that has come to mean all that is cheezy and lame in music. I would advise you to buy a cd called "Sacred Cows" by DA's altar ego band, the Swirling Eddies, and maybe you will understand why we love C*rm*n so much here and all that type of stuff.
I like Larry, Glen and all that stuff. C*rm*n, Amy and all of that type make me want to lose my lunch.
