Andy Langer spoke with Doug Van Pelt, the editor and founder of Hard Music magazine, about the top 100 list.
A local magazine is celebrating 25 years.
Hard Music magazine is celebrating their 25th anniversary by releasing the top 100 Christian rock albums of all time.
"Not everyone is going to love the list, but it took a lot of work and somebody’s got to do it. I feel like 25 years gave me the right to pen one of these, so I did,” HM magazine Editor and Founder Doug Van Pelt said.
Pelt said he graded the album by his five criteria:
1. Do I love it
2. Historical impact
3. Popularity
4. Classic-ness
5. Greatness
The magazine is on newsstands now.
