Best Music By Lds Artist(S)?

Church type music, musical compositions, or contemporary?

 

As far as compositions/contemporary go The Piano Guys.  You should check out their rendition of Let It Go/Vivaldi's Winter (I don't mind Let It Go when they play it).

As with music in general, the 1980s was really the high-water mark for LDS music. So I would start there.

Based on my last trip to Deseret Book, I would have to say that 90% of current LDS music is produced by (and possibly for) blonde women in their 20's.

I'm with Rivers on I'm Trying to Be Like Jesus but I like this arrangement a little better. ;)

Whenever I begin to lose perspective amidst the frustration of my seemingly-intractable, seemingly-insoluble mortal problems and I need a metaphorical slap upside the head to remind me, "Ken, you're an Ageless, Eternal Being!", I listen to this arrangement of If You Could Hie to Kolob by de Azevedo.  I think it's matchless.

I was looking for more contemporary spiritual music. I'll check out the links/groups you guys suggested.

 

In my opinion the highpoint was Jeff Goodrich's double album act - I Heard Him Come and A Grove of My Own.  His third album was also good, but these two were amazing.  I don't think it ever got any better than I Heard Him Come album.

 

 

I also love Jenny Phillips "The Miracle", and some sporadic songs by MIchael McClean, Kenneth Cope, and Afterglow.  Not much else has ever had any impact on me.

I've seen this entry on Mormon.org. Maybe that music video is one that Brandon's not too proud of...especially when thinking about the 13th AofF. Everyone has a past, but his videos can have a detrimental affect, and it just seems like an LDS member would try to refrain from stuff like that, surely he must know that. That's why I mention the money part. But I definitely shouldn't judge, or maybe it was the so called righteous judging I was doing. ;)

Btw, if you're looking for music for your kids, I know an LDS person who's pretty good at that.  ;)

 

 

Hey, what is the code to post an actual YouTube video, so it embeds in the thread like Rivers did?

It used to be a real chore to get it to work.  The board software has been updated and now it is a simple matter of posting the link string:

Julie deAzavedo "Make Enough of Me" (this whole album, Home, is just deeply spiritual beautiful music)

 

Sam Payne and Cherie Call: "Sunflower" (song starts at about 2:25... Sam's Coming Just to Go album is an all-time favorite of mine)
