Best Petra Songs Top 10 of All Time

Petra first debuted in 1970’s and focused strictly on Christian rock music. Rock bands were numerous in the 70’s and 80’s, but no other Christian rock band became mainstream like Petra. The road was not easy and original founder Bob Hartman is what kept the band alive and thriving. There were many close calls on disbanding as Greg Hough, John DeGroff, Bill Glover, John Slick and other members chose different paths with other bands of the time. Petra’s style changed as they continued to appeal to a young audience influenced by many rock styles, including The Allman Brothers Band, Pink Floyd, Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd, AC/DC and countless other mainstream rock bands. With over three decades of music and 20 albums, it’s challenging to choose the top 10 songs! We could make a top 10 list for the different genres Petra sings, but I am trying to encompass all of Petra on this list!
