"Gospel" must have an influence...

An outfit my wife likes, the Oak Ridge Boys, have been running (sort of) since 1945...

Ok, then I can identify with that since I'm not far from Nashville.  The Oak Ridge Boys are pretty well-known here.  But if they are going to be considered a rock band, then I submit that this is a gospel band.  Skillet, contemporary Christian (with a young English female drummer, great with back up vocals).

ORB's - definitely not rock, Michael, just great harmony work... ;)

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Ace released a Fireballs compilation in 2006. They haven't released new material in years. Why does that matter?

It doesn't.  I just wanted to piss you off.   8)
