- Squint (1993)
Squint is the fifth release and fourth studio album by Christian musician Steve Taylor . It was released in November 1993 on Warner Alliance Records, Warner Bros. Christian/gospel label. Taylor wrote and produced the album himself. Squint marked Taylor's brief return to Christian music and it is his first studio album in seven years and just ended his stint as lead vocalist of the alternative rock collective Chagall Guevara with their 1991 self-titled album . Album highlights include the lead single and music video "Bannerman," which is a tribute to American football fans that hold up " John 3:16 " banners behind the goalposts. "Cash Cow" (in what the song is subtitled "a rock opera in three small acts") is a jab at televangelist Robert Tilton. "Curses" is a strongly worded biblical proclamation of fathers who desert their families. "The Finish Line" picks up the storyline of the track "Hero" (from his 1984 album Meltdown ), relating the often difficult and halting trek of a Christian as viewed from the perspective of eschatological glory. Taylor's "Some Band" members that played on Squint include Wade Jaynes on bass guitar and Mike Mead on drums, both from Chagall Guevara, plus Dave Perkins on rhythm guitar on "Bannerman" among other musicians. The album peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart in early 1994. Taylor released a second video album on VHS titled Squint: Movies from the Soundtrack in 1994, featuring six of the album's ten songs all directed by Taylor. His music video for "Bannerman" was nominated for a Dove Award for Short Form Music Video of the Year in 1994. In 1995, Taylor was nominated for Producer of the Year, Short Form Music Video for "Cash Cow" and Long Form Music Video of the Year. Track listing All songs written by Steve Taylor. 1.

- Chagall Guevera (1991)
Chagall Guevara is the self-titled debut album by the alternative rock collective Chagall Guevara. It was released in 1991 and their only album on MCA Records. Sparrow Records reissued the album later in the year. The album was produced by the band with record producer Matt Wallace (Maroon 5, Faith No More, Train). It was a super group consisting of Christian artists and musicians attempting to crossover into the mainstream rock market. After the controversial 1987 album I Predict 1990 , Christian musician Steve Taylor temporarily left the Christian music industry to form the rock collective Chagall Guevara. The band was named after Communist revolutionary Che Guevara and painter Marc Chagall to imply the meaning "revolutionary art." Band members also included Dave Perkins, Lynn Nichols and Mike Mead. Tim Chandler of the Christian rock band Daniel Amos did play bass guitar but quit during rehearsals. Christian rock musician Rick Cua was brought in to replace Chandler on bass on their first recorded track "Tale O' the Twister." The track appeared on the soundtrack to the motion picture Pump Up the Volume (1990). The band spent most of 1990 recording their debut album, along with new bass player Wade Jaynes. Chagall Guevara was released and contained their lead single and their music video "Violent Blue." Against their wishes, the album was sold at Christian bookstores, by way of Sparrow Records, and other songs were released to Christian Rock radio such as "Play God," "Escher's World" and "Murder in the Big House." The band broke up in 1993 and Taylor would start work on his next studio album Squint . Taylor worked on a Chagall Guevara follow-up album with some rare B-sides and new tracks but would not be released for nearly 30 years.

- I Predict 1990 (1987)
I Predict 1990 is the fourth release and third studio album by Christian musician Steve Taylor . It was released as a one-off by Word Records' Myrrh label instead of Sparrow Records on November 3, 1987. The album was produced, mixed and engineered by Taylor and musician Dave Perkins, crediting themselves as "The Beaufort Twins." Taylor wrote and arranged the album with the exception of the track "Babylon," which Taylor co-wrote with Perkins. I Predict 1990 is Taylor's best album up to that point and also his most controversial. There were two things that hurt the album: first, the album cover. Taylor's wife Debbie designed and painted the album cover, which was intended to resemble an early 20th-century French poster art; however, some Christians felt that it resembled a tarot card. Second, the opening track "I Blew Up the Clinic Real Good." The song is about a loser who bombs an abortion clinic. It's also the central theme of the album...a prediction of what the 1990s could bring if people continue to believe that "the end justifies the means." Those two things caused Christian bookstores to ban the album. Taylor himself had to call the Christian bookstores personally to explain "I Blew Up the Clinic..." and its satire and meaning. Taylor has said that the album's title was meant as a parody of a Lester Sumrall TV program and book, I Predict 1986. I Predict 1990 displays a more alternative rock style than the new wave music from his previous Sparrow releases. Other track highlights include "What Is the Measure of Your Success?" about a materialist who discovers what "old men learn all too late...you can't buy time or a good name." "Innocence Lost" is about a heart rendering account of an eleventh hour but sincere conversion of a death row inmate on the eve of his execution. "A Principled Man" calls on the listeners to examine themselves and consider whether they are in fact people who stand up for something. Despite some Christian bookstores not selling the album, I Predict 1990 gave Taylor another Top 10 best seller on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart as it peaked at number 7 in 1988. Six months after the album's release, Taylor released a companion video on VHS entitled I Predict 1990: The Video Album . It features eight out of the album's ten songs with "Jung and the Restless" and "Innocence Lost" not made into videos. The music video of "Babylon" was nominated for a Dove Award for Short Form Music Video of the Year. Track listing All songs written by Steve Taylor, except where noted. 1.

- Limelight (1986)
Limelight is a 1986 live album and concert video by Christian musician Steve Taylor on Sparrow Records. It was recorded at the Greenbelt Festival in Castle Ashby, England in the summer of 1985 and produced by Taylor and Keith Bessey. On the LP and cassette tape versions, Taylor, with his musician band mates credited as "Some Band," performed seven songs from his three previous releases and performed a duet with Scottish Christian singer and Sparrow label mate Sheila Walsh on the track "Not Gonna Fall Away" (a David Edwards cover). The song was a featured track originally released as a studio EP entitled Trans-Atlantic Remixes , also featuring one track each by the two artists. The concert video of Limelight features additional performances that are not found in the live album. In 1987, Taylor was the first recipient of a new Dove Awards category, winning Long Form Music Video of the Year at the 18th GMA Dove Awards. Limelight has never been released on CD nor released digitally. The live tracks of "We Don't Need No Colour Code" and "You Don't Owe Me Nothing" are available in the 1994 2-CD retrospective compilation box set Now the Truth Can Be Told .

- On the Fritz (1985)
On the Fritz is the third release and second full-length studio album by Christian musician Steve Taylor , released on May 18, 1985 by Sparrow Records. The album was produced by Taylor and Ian McDonald, an English musician, composer and multi-instrumentalist who is best known as the founding member of rock bands King Crimson and Foreigner. On the Fritz continues the Christian rock/new wave sound from his previous album Meltdown with no drastic changes in style. The first Christian Rock single "This Disco (Used to Be a Cute Cathedral)" describes a church that has gone disco in order to stay relevant, promising to "only play the stuff you want to hear." The track "You Don't Owe Me Nothing" takes aim at television evangelists. "I Just Wanna Know" is a relatively rare look at Taylor's own heart, as he struggles with his intents and aspirations. It is his first song to be released to Christian radio as a single, strictly to CHR stations. The track "Lifeboat" narrates an all-too realistic "values clarification" exercise in which school children are asked to determine who should live and who should die in a disaster situation. A music video was made for the song, with its hilarious humor--despite its serious subject matter, featuring Taylor in drag as a school marm. Taylor wrote and arranged the album. On the Fritz peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart. In 1986, Taylor released a compilation video on VHS entitled Video Works featuring music videos of "Lifeboat" and "Meltdown (At Madame Tussauds)," live performances of "I Want to Be a Clone" and "On the Fritz" and interview footage.

- Meltdown (1984)
Meltdown is the second release and first full-length album by Christian musician Steve Taylor , released on February 21, 1984 by Sparrow Records. The album is produced by Jonathan David Brown. Meltdown follows up Taylor's debut EP I Want to Be a Clone and features a similar rock style, involving Christian Rock and incorporating new wave music. The album's songs touch on many socio-political issues; "We Don't Need No Colour Code" denounces Christian organizations that practice racism while "Over My Dead Body" calls for more attention to violations of human rights overseas. "Guilty By Association" condemns evangelists that abuse Christian teachings and just seek fame and money for themselves. The title track "Meltdown (At Madame Tussauds)" alludes to the famous wax museum in London, England. A music video was made for the song and features actress Lisa Whelchel (TV's The Facts of Life ) as a newscaster. This video was one of many videos by Christian artists that got airplay on MTV. The CD version of Meltdown contains remixes of "Meltdown (At Madame Tussauds)," which was originally released as an EP single titled Meltdown Remixes and was remixed by Keith Bessey. The album reached the Top 10 at number 10 on the Billboard Top Inspirational Albums chart. In 1985, Taylor was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Gospel Performance, Male for Meltdown and was nominated for two Dove Awards for Artist of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year. Taylor and his band "Some Band" performed at the ceremony. In 2001, CCM Magazine ranked the album at number 18 in their book The 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music .

I Want to Be a Clone is the title of the debut extended play (EP) by new wave and post-punk influenced Christian musician Steve Taylor . It was released on January 25, 1983 by Sparrow Records.

- Steve Green
Stephen James Green (born August 1, 1956 in Portland, Oregon) is an American Christian music singer. Green was born in Portland, Oregon , to Charles and Jo Green, who were Baptist missionaries. He spent much of his early life in Argentina and then proceeded to attend Phoenix Christian High School along with two of his six siblings. He graduated from Phoenix Christian High School in 1974 and, at age 18, enrolled at Grand Canyon University . His intended major was pre-law, but a professor recognized his musical talent and encouraged him to develop it. After two years at the university, Green left to travel the world with the band Truth . After his two-year stint with Truth (1976–78), Green married Marijean McCarty, a former member of Truth. They moved to Alexandria, Indiana , to sing backup for the Bill Gaither Trio . In 1980, Green joined Gary McSpadden , Lee Young and Bill Gaither to form The Gaither Vocal Band . Green sang tenor for their first two albums, The New Gaither Vocal Band and Passin' the Faith Along . In 1982, Steve and Gaither's musicians formed the Christian rock band White Heart . Green sang lead for White Heart as they recorded their debut self-titled album (which sold nearly 70,000 copies). In 1983, Steve left White Heart, feeling that his place was not in a rock band. That same year, a confrontation by his brother, Randy, led to a spiritual renewal in Green's life. He signed a solo contract with Sparrow Records , and released his self-titled debut album in 1984. In the same year, he established Steve Green Ministries. "People Need the Lord" became Green's signature song and he has, to this day, performed it in his concerts. Described by most critics as the male version of Sandi Patty (they both shared the same producer Greg Nelson), Green would go on to release a series of pop/ inspirational albums that were best sellers and won him two Male Vocalist of the Year Dove Awards and many others. Green has been Grammy nominated four times and has recorded eight Spanish language albums and four children's music albums.

- Yuletide Joy (2005)
Yuletide Joy is the 22nd studio and 3rd Christmas album by Christian singer Sandi Patty , released on October 11, 2005 by INO Records (later renamed Fair Trade Services)/Sony Music. Patty co-produced the album with Steve Potts. Patty's 3rd Christmas album revisits some familiar holiday songs from her previous Christmas releases, such as the re-recordings of "Bethlehem Morning," "Star of Bethlehem" and "Worship the King" along with new tracks. Patty also does a parody of Barbra Streisand's "Jingle Bells" with a mix of musical styles. The original 1983 recording of "Merry Christmas With Love" (from The Gift Goes On ) is included and then segues into a new full version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" to close the album. Yuletide Joy debuted and peaked at number 40 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart. Track listing 1. A Christmas Carol/Worship the King ( Leslie Bricusse / Billy Smiley, Bill George) -3:58 2.
