Wasn't expecting them to still have less songs than Disciple

Made a playlsit for it https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3GUqsAYExZYGQ5LLlPSD4L

The playlist is missing two songs from Washes Whiter Than because they weren't on Spotify but I don't really care about that album so whatever. And note I already disagree with myself in several placings, like Underground, Bema Seat, and Chameleon, all of which are too low for sure.

I'm surprised Pethead hasn't been on here yet. I can't rank every song. You really don't have any of their songs 9/10?

No way I can rank every song. It’s hard enough for me to rank every album.

More Power To Ya is the best pre-John, Jekyll & Hyde and Beyond Belief are tied (maybe J&H wins slightly) for best with John, Double Take is the worst.

Objectively, they have several songs in the 9's. Overall I'm just not the biggest AOR fan (though I do like it) and the higher scores tend to require stuff I don't get from any Petra song. But I can completely understand why someone would have them as their fav band. I do like them a lot for what they are and they are objectively better than several bands I subjectively prefer. They have some 9/10 choruses though!

Like Underground! My fav from BB for sure. Imo you have Road To Zion too low.

This Means War was the peak. They had some amazing songs before and stayed good for a while after, but that album will always be peak Petra to me.

I would count J&H as the peak but other than that I would say BB is the peak. I prefer OF! musically but it could've done with one or two less ballads imo.

I do have Underground too low. 7.4 is atrocious, not sure what I was thinking lol.
