Yes, we know. We left everyone hanging. We got to our 11th favorite albums of the 1985-95 CCM window and things...just...stopped. Mea cupla! We apologize! But now, here you have it. Albums 10-1 in our favorites list. By the way, pay attention for the (repeated) teasing of something big that is prepared to drop on January 1, 2025. Oh, and many thanks to all of you who hit us up on Facebook to ask, "Why are you guys gonna finish your top 100 list?" We listened and heard you loud and clear.

After a too-long hiatus attending meetings with Su Perbusy, most of the 3D's are back, this time with a look back to the year 1987. Russ Taff and The Imperials both released career records that year, while newcomers like Magaret Becker and Steven Curtis Chapman burst onto the scene. Join Dan and Derek (and a special robot guest) as they go back in time to the year 1987. --- Show Note: Dan mentioned the YouTube guitarist who performs covers of Dann Huff solos. Actually, there are two of them. First, there is the unnamed guitarist at the White Guitar Channel . Here he is covering Dann's solo on "Never Wanna Go Back" by Geoff Moore and two different Dann solos on the song "Unexpected Friends." The second YouTuber is guitarist Kristian Larsen . Here is Krisian covering Dann's solo from Smitty's "Cross of Gold" and the iconic solo on "Secret Ambition." --- Dan Day is a semi-retired, former small business owner in the Wichita area.

Dave is still stuck in meetings with Su Perbusy, so Dan and Derek are continuing to look back, this time to the year 1988. An a cappella vocal group burst onto the scene that year, Phil Keaggy paid homage to the Beatles, and Amy Grant released her career-defining album. Oh, and it was also the year of "Awesome God."
