I really hope to an awesome tribute to the Beatles and Rich Mullins some day. 

Here are some of my favorite musicians and bands and some links to them.

Of course I usually get my daily dosage of both Rich Mullins and the Beatles, but mixed in with them I have been listening to Cat Stevens, Mitch McVicker, Peter Mulvey "Ten Thousand Mornings", Carolyn Arends "Travelers" as much Andrew Peterson as I can get.

I compiled a list of the top Rich Mullins and Beatles albums and concluded that they are all good. So here is my list:

RICH MULLINS		THE BEATLES
A Liturgy, a legacy and a ragamuffin band		Abbey Road
The World as best as I can remember vol. 1		White Album (particularly sides 1,2)
Jesus Record		Rubber Soul
Canticle of the Plains (co written and produced by Rich)		Revolver
Never Picture Perfect		Sgt. Pepper
Songs 1		Let it Be
Brothers Keeper		Hard Days Night
The world as best as I can remember vol. 2		With the Beatles
Winds of Heaven... stuff of Earth		Past Masters II
Songs 2		Magical Mystery Tour
CD that accompanies an Arrow Pointing to Heaven		For Sale
Pictures in the Sky		Help!
Rich Mullins (self titled)		Please Please me
Rich Mullins tribute album		Past Masters I

I love to draw the contrasts from the beginning, middle and end of the Beatles' career and I find myself doing the same with Rich Mullins.

Paul Simon deserves his own web page on myrooftop, for now just know that I respect and admire his style of folk more than any other. He is in a league with Rich and the Beatles and with Art Garfunkel compiled 5 outstanding albums.

Other artists of note:

Mitch McVicker - Mitch has three albums that are all quite good.

 

a Ragamuffin band - the band that Rich assembled to create the Liturgy Legacy masterpiece. They have recently split up, but were quite successful on the Jesus Record and had a lesser known album called "Prayers of a Ragamuffin" that has some very good songs on it.

This Train - a very loud band featuring Mark Robertson of A Ragamuffin Band, Jordan Richter and Cobra Joe. Lots of fun... and loud.

Folk artist Peter Mulvey from Milwaukee has a great unique sound. I enjoy all of his albums... some of which you can only find on his website.
