Religious music for less than devout


We have a thread " Jazz for someone who doesn’t like jazz. " In a similar vein perhaps "Religious music for the less than devout".

"people get ready" - Rod Stewart
"Amazing Grace" - Jessye Norman
2009 "Duets" - Five Blind Boys of Alabama, The - entire CD
1988 "Sweet Fellowship" - Acappella, the entire CD

In 1989 I was working in NJ, I may have been the only guy on the job who did not know he was working for the Irish Mafia. I would lend people the CD "Sweet Fellowship" and they were willing to pay for it but never return it:

"Here is $20 kid, go buy yourself another cuz youz can’t have mine back. Now don’t ever ask me again."

Waiting for a miracle is one of my favorites of his.  I think he has a big catalog of releases, starting in the 70’s.

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned The 77’s, Mike Roe was the front man, I think.  Only a few releases, but pretty good stuff.  All Fall Down was one of their better releases.


Some already mentioned but here are a few...
Son of a Preacher Man - Dusty Springfield (my fav performancer)
Spirit in the Sky - Norman Greenbaum
Visions of Angels - Genesis
After Forever - Black Sabbath
Redeemed - Blue Öyster Cult
Jesus Is Just Alright - The Doobie Brothers
Watcher of the Skies - Genesis
Father of Day, Father of Night - Manfred Mann´s Earth Band
Jerusalem - ELP
Astronomy - Blue Öyster Cult
Hymn - Barclay James Harvest
Faith Healer - The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Kansas and not just "Dust in the Wind" their whole approach is religious (for me at least) - especially with Kerry Livgren

Stunned by the reaction to the Monty Python song. Hopefully my belief that there is no god doesn’t also offend. Each to their own.
