Search - Various Artists :: Wow the 90's: 30 Top Christian Songs Decade

Wow: The '90s serves up 30 of contemporary Christian music's biggest songs of the decade, including offerings from the obvious (Rich Mullins, Jaci Velasquez) to the downright mainstream (Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith) to a smattering of CCM's most recent wave of rock-inspired bands (DC Talk, Jars of Clay). As with its yearly predecessors, this collection concentrates on the highly polished fare of slick pop with "lifestyle" lyricism. This double-disc set also features Point of Grace's enthused 1996 hit "Keep the Candle Burning" and 1994's melodramatic "Crucified with Christ" by Phillips, Craig, and Dean, as well as work by superdiva Sandi Patti and 4Him. While Wow: The '90s is a boon for newbies to the genre, in playing it safe the set comes across a bit bland and will likely prove redundant for those whose collections already boast the selected artists. --Paige La Grone
