Need some good praise and worship suggestions

mixmastermike · #1 04-30-2011, 08:47 PM

Don't know if this is the correct area to post this but anyway. I'm looking to get some suggestions for some songs that have a groove-ability to them the church loves it when the grooves makes them move and helps them remember why they're there. Looking for specific songs, artists whatever i can get. thanks guys love this place.

Well, depending on what you're looking for, you might try My Redeemer Lives and Trading My Sorrows. Both of those are fairly easy to work with and can be given a solid groove.

Can't go wrong with some Hillsong/United, David Crowder Band...

Wow - direct hit! :-) I was going to say Trading My Sorrows. The bass chords on this are great. (Are 2 notes a chord?)

Casting Crowns - Until the Whole World Hears has some cool grooves in it for bass. Really there are lots. Some other bands off the top of my head:
Kutless, Tree 63, Fireflight, Jesus Culture, DC Talk, Tenth Avenue North.
Check out Break Free by Hillsong United.

Stuff with some OOMPH in it:
A. Oh Happy Day (performed by)
-The Black Ally Choir-Google them!!

-Ramsey Lewis-coming from a jazz point of view.

B. Joyful Joyful (performed by)
-Lauryn Hill-she rock. period.

c. Jingle Bells (performed by)
-Amy Grant

D. Joy To the World (performed as part of a medley)
-Jennifer Hudson

Just for starters, those artist. Above all do your interpretation of the music while still presenting the message.

Sometime when the pastor is preaching on sin, play "Highway to Hell."

pedroims · #8 05-01-2011, 05:14 AM

That's why we praise him, simple grooving song.

I think most people at church should hear "Best God in Show" by NoFX. "You're Wrong" by the same band is also on topic.

I think what makes the church grove is kind of ethnic and regional specific since they must be know the song already. There are those who will fact check new songs against their Bible before they approve and let themself go.Is this for a special performance or a newly planted church? Many times just a new arangement can get a church moving like with Tomlin's reworking Amazing Grace for the movie soundtrack or many of the "greatest Worship Songs" of the past 25 years being worked up for different genres.

The Insyderz have some really neat versions on Skalelluia albums (I probably spelled that incorrectly). Their version of Jesus Draw me close and Morning Into Dancing are fantastic.

Newsboys have a few good ones as well; I'm Not Ashamed, It is You, Devotion just to name a few...

tons of urban gospel stuff (if your keys and drums are good enough... not to mention vocals)

If you guys are tight, the sing along Lincoln Brewster stuff always sells well.

xxjazzbassist · #13 05-02-2011, 05:58 PM

Anything by Jesus Culture, David Crowder Band, Hillsong (don't become a hillsong exclusive band though) and 10th ave. North. Gungor has some truely great stuff too. But really always make sure the groove doesn't get more emphasis than the god you're praising

chuck norriss · #14 05-02-2011, 06:19 PM

These are all pretty much rockers. don't know if you're thinking rock or r&b
Paul Baloche, Hosanna - bangin
Christy Nockels, Life Light Up - med tempo rocker
Jeremy Camp, Beautiful One - good country-ish groove going
Chris Tomlin, With Me - faster rock
Kristian Stanfill, Jesus Paid It All - slower but still a banger with a great cascading bridge
Tomlin, Our God Is Greater - huge
Charlie Hall, Marvelous Light - fun upbeat & poignant
all thse songs are worth a listen at least.

I was lost. Now I'm found. I don't care what anybody says.

Take it somewhere else. This thread, and TalkBass are not places to promote your beliefs and/or lack of faith or to even tacitly attack his religion. OP was not asking for your opinion on religion. Don't be a troll.
God bless.

MNAirHead · #16 05-03-2011, 02:34 AM

I'm sure you're aware CCLI publishes the current use ranking... KLove also posts their rotation

eSmith · #17 05-03-2011, 10:07 AM

Please Foamy keep religion out of the thread. This was a topic on songs to play at a particular gig. I gave my suggestions. Those are the songs I would play. leave it at that.

-eSmith.

jive1 · #18 05-03-2011, 10:56 AM

Some songs that open themselves to a groove:

CCM:
Let It Rise - Big Daddy Weave
Every Move I Make (Waves of Mercy) - David Crowder
Friend of God - Israel and the New Breed
Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble - Matt Redman
Everything That Has Breath - Matt Redman
Days of Elijah - Robin Mark

Gospel:
There's way too many to pick from.

SteveC · #19 05-03-2011, 11:00 AM

I want some tunes that DON'T have 2 chords - like A2, D2, that kind of thing - or slash chords - D/F#, A/C# - as we've been doing it almost exclusively lately.

SteveC · #20 05-03-2011, 11:01 AM

Oh...and sus chords.
