More Power to Ya is the defining album of Petra’s career, the one that really brought them to the forefront. In 1981, Petra added permanent lead singer Greg X. Basically, these albums are before Petra found themselves. Some of the songs are outright “out there,” but at the same time, there is some good stuff. Petra hadn’t settled on a lead singer yet, so there is an inconsistency between these albums and those that follow. The best thing you could say about these three albums is that they are, uh, interesting. After I became a Petra fan, I went back and purchased all their earlier work. I only listened to these three albums in retrospect. From there, my love for Petra only grew, and I was a fan through the very end.īefore I get to my personal ranking of their studio catalog, let’s take a look at their albums in order of release. I shifted my allegiance and never heard another Servant song after that. But that was short-lived as Petra pretty much exploded after that and quickly became one of my all-time favorite bands. We argued over who rocked better, and, honestly, I still think I was right. My older brother was listening to Petra while I was jamming out to Servant’s Rockin’ Revival. I can’t remember ever not being a Petra fan. Without Petra, Christian rock may never have moved out of the Jesus music era. They didn’t invent the genre but rose to become one of the most groundbreaking and influential bands in Christian music. Petra is to Christian Rock what RUN-DMC is to Rap. If you’ve never listened to Christian Rock, then you’re probably wondering who Petra is.
