Morse from the list.
I quite like spiritual songs that are more abstract such as Yes - Wonderous Stories, Kansas - Dust In The Wind and ELP - The Endless Engima. I suppose they would fall outside the topic as they don't deal with the subject head on but they give a sense of looking beyond the real known world for answers. Perhaps a step in the direction towards acquiring faith.

And my pick in the poll was Neal Morse over the Doobie Brothers. Man that is a combination that strangely works for me.

Thanks for bringing this band up it's been a long time, going to spin that song later.

Hymn by Ultravox. Dear God by Midge Ure. Just saying.


Doobies to break up the list.

Jethro Tull, XTC not far behind. The Kansas song is also good. Porcupine Tree's Halo would've snatched my vote had it been in the poll.

I knew I could count on you for some other great choices!

How could I forget "Halo"?

While Depeche Mode wrote Personal Jesus as how one individual can be a 'Jesus' to another, the religious Cash interpreted it as a gospel song.

Queen - Jesus (from their debut album) is also pretty good. Smile

Nice list! There are two that I don't know and the rest is quite enjoyable to very good, to my ears. I'd especially favour XTC and Greatful Dead; I'll vote for Blues For Allah.

And, I cannot not propose this track by King Missile, Jesus Was Way Cool:

The razamataz is a pain in the bum

Top three in the poll:

Blues for Allah
My God
Holy Diver

This is probably my favorite Prog song about Jesus though (and my favorite Ruphus song):

ZZ Top - Jesus Just Left Chicago

Outside the poll I have to mention Tom Waits - Chocolate Jesus (Beth Hart / Joe Bonamassa version is very good, too).

Also Type O Negative - Christian Woman, good blasphemous fun.

From the poll, I voted for XTC.

I've been listening to Negativland's 2014 album, It's All In Your Head, which examines humanity and religion. But also their 1987 track, Christianity Is Stupid.
