Stryper is hands down the Led Zepplin/Black Sabbath/KISS of Christian Metal, and they are undoubtedly on the best bands to ever come out of the 80's period. Michael Sweet and Oz Fox are one of the most underrated guitar duos in Metal/Rock history. Because they are Christians they don't get the respect they have earned and truly deserve. They deserve to be inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.

Stryper is a Christian band formed by the Sweet brothers Michael (Lead vocals and guitar) and Robert (Drums)and are still releasing albums to this day, they use to get a lot of flack for their Christian views in the world of heavy rock, Metal, back in the '80s but what was undeniable was the talent-filled with awesome rocking songs, fun fact, back in 1986 I got hit several times in the head at their concerts with New Testament bibles that they would throw into the audience. Good Times.

What a great reaction and intro to your lovely spouse. So good to see her getting in the game. I was so addicted to the music in late 80s. Got me a jeans jacket (locked up somewhere) that a friend's mom painted the whole back of it to look like their logo. Their drummer Robert Sweet was one of the 3 drummers who inspired me to want to be a drummer myself. So if you're interested in getting Dolly some more 80s rockers, may I please recommend: Scorpions: Passion Rules the Game Whitesnake: Still of the Night Dokken: Dream Warriors Poison: Ride The Wind Kix: Cold Blood SteelHeart: She's Gone Tesla: Modern Day Cowboy (Note I chose songs that are not usually done by every other reactor out there).

For some metal not too distant from them the Stryper , you should listen to EUROPE and their celeb The Final Countdown and there are many otherZ that i don't know and even don't easily come in my mind !
