I just found out that last night, Dana Key died from a ruptured blood clot. Dana was the guitar half of the legendary Christian Rock duo DeGarmo & Key. Their video for the song 666 was banned from MTV supposedly for having too much violence.
I think more likely cause they have the word 'Jesus' in it. By today's 'standards' this video is cheesey (though the song does carry a good message).
I haven't really listened to them much lately, mainly due to the fact that, despite having all of their albums, most of them are on vinyl! Looking back on their songs now, I can see that the messages of Christ's victory over Satan and His 2nd coming were very prevalent.
Here's a great article about them: http://www.ccmmagazine.com/news/headlines/11632793/
While they had a lot of really good songs, this was always one of my favorites:
No More Goodbyes - DeGarmo & Key
Somewhere over the rainbow
Beyond the land of Oz
Beyond the reach of man
Beyond the stars
There's a silver palace
There are streets of gold
There's a place believers
Call their home
No more separation
No more tearful eyes
No more loneliness
No more goodbyes
Far from pain or hunger
far from vanity
Set upon a blazing crystal sea
There's a home for martyrs
Hero's everyone
Living in the presence of God's Son
No more separation
No more tearful eyes
No more loneliness
No more goodbyes
