Okay let's see. This will be a LONG comment. Well he has some of the golden age late 90s Newsboys stuff which of course I like – I love the Love Liberty Disco album, also of course Step Up to the Microphone. I also really like Sixpence None the Richer which may be inconsistent because they're pretty pop but... I dunno... I like their sound. The lead singer's voice is weird enough to make them stand out for me. Jars of Clay is okay but I don't like them as much as the Newsboys. I don't think their lyrics are nearly as thoughtful or creative.
My favorite weird indy one is an album called Five Wise Virgins by 100 Portraits, a husband-wife team. They also did a series of really interesting, possibly strange-sounding praise stuff called "Enter the Worship Circle" of which Ryan has the first and second albums. I don't know how to describe their sound, it's really low-key acoustic and really repetitive which I don't normally like. I probably just like them because Ryan does, haha.
Five O'Clock People is an okay group. The CD Ryan has is called "The Nothing Venture"... I don't know if they've changed their sound much since then or not.
He has several Smalltown Poets albums but they're just meh to me.
I really like Kendall Payne, who's a Christian artist although I don't think her stuff is "Christian" in quotation marks.
Oh and there's this totally weird Christian/celtic/rock album by a group called the Electrics. I sort of love it. It's hilarious and awesome. Hold on let me look up the name of the album. Oh yeah, it's called Livin' It Up When I Die. How can you not love that?
A lot of the rest of Ryan's stuff is harder, like Project 86... I can't stand that stuff.
