musical touchstones of my journey

i was thinking back to some of the christian bands/artists that i 'miss' having around.

• the waiting
• jackson finch
• pfr
• degarmo & key
• geoff moore and the distance
• big tent revival
• benjamin gate
• mortal/fold zandura
  

i then started to think about bands that are still around or have gone through major changes

• newsboys
• sonicflood
• caedmons call
• pfr
  

and the bands that have members that have gone to do solo albums

• dc talk (tobymac, tait, kevin max)
• mercyme (bart millnard)
• thousand foot krutch (formed fmstatic)
• pfr (patrick left for a bit and then came back)

so... who are some of your favorite bands/artists of the past... and who do you think will carry the torch through the next few decades and continue giving us great christian anthems

my favorites are

• kutless
• thousand foot krutch
• chris tomlin
• seven places
• sanctus real
• delirious?
• starfield
• jeremy camp
• downhere
• overflow
• pillar
• the afters
