Alright…You Picked It! And this one wasn’t really that close. After the first five picks were one for each artist, the winner took the early lead and never looked back. The winner this month is Stryper and their album ‘Against the Law’ which was one that was in my collection. I will be honest, this winner surprised me as I didn’t think they really had a chance, but boy was I wrong. Here are the results.
- Stryper – ‘Against the Law’ – 7 votes
- David Bowie – ‘Let’s Dance’ – 5 votes
- The Band – ‘The Band’ – 3 votes
- Dusty Springfield – ‘Dusty in Memphis’ – 2 votes
- The Darkness – ‘Motorheart’ – 1 Vote
Thanks to all for participating. The January choices will be up on Saturday!
STRYPER – ‘AGAINST THE LAW’:
I remember when this album came out. It was a drastic change for the band. The Yellow and Black costumes they wore were gone and everything was black leather. The religious themes and any mention of God were gone. Stryper as we knew them were gone. Due to the constant criticism of from the religious critics, Stryper had grown weary of the music business and the Christian themes. They had become angry and a little resentful at the constant bashing. So, they threw religion to the side and went heavier and darker in both sound and lyrics.
