Comparing all of the CCM artists that are around today to Larry Norman is like comparing the Jonas Brothers to the Beatles. Not even close. RIP Larry

Although I'm an atheist humanist now, I grew up as missionary kid and got to see this guy at a live concert in France. I loved the "edgy" quality of his music compared to other christian musicians at the time. He definitely had a sort of... bent approach to christianity that I still admire. A guess a word to sum him up would be: uncompromising. Gotta respect that.

A true pioneer! His music is amazing. I remember when his first album had to be purchased 'underground'!! A Christian singing rock & roll? What a scandal! That was in Seattle, in the early 70's. Thanks for all your music, Larry. RIP

Comparisons and similar artists are difficult because Larry was so influential way before anybody else. All the listed "similar artists" are basically born out of his influence and trailblazing - virtually his "children". Similar artists would really be Bob Dylan (who supposedly attended Bible studies at Larry's house), The Rolling Stones (Larry used to wear a button with Mick and Keith's picture on it - when asked about it he'd say "yeah, they're on my prayer list"), or maybe The Who. These people had similar influence on music but offered a totally different message. Larry was completely uncompromising in his mission - that got him in trouble with the establishment at times but stands as an example of Christ-like behavior in the modern world. We note his influence on music here but many multitudes will note his influence on thier lives - the changed thinking, the changed behavior, looking to Christ for salvation instead of yourself. A life well-spent indeed - a rarely-matched legacy

What Elvis, Bob Dylan, the Beatles were to secular music, Larry Norman was to "Jesus Rock". It is an absolute disgrace most folks don't even know his name. I saw Larry live (came onstage wearing a Sgt. Pepper suit) in Long Beach California. Not in a Church "singing to the choir", but in an old theatre in a "bad" part of town, right next door to a porn business. he was a "stream of bright light shining in the darkness". even the darkness of the so-called "contemporary christian music" scene.

Clearly the biggest loss for the christian music world ever and the biggest gain in larry's legacy. Can't even fathom what he is singing now but I'm sure it is great. miss you Larry.
