CCM Presents: The 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music
Why this list is REALLY hard to complete — 5 years ago
Christian contemporary music is notorious for its short shelf life. Many of these albums have been critically lauded since their time of release but have been out of print since the year after! Case in point: Mark Heard appears 3 times on this list (#32,#29,#4 and if you count the tribute album to him..#25) but every one of those is out of print, meaning you can’t borrow it at the library. Hearing it means shelling out often high collector’s prices and I’m not willing to do that without having heard the music in question.
Any one got any pointers to places I might be able to stream the FULLSONGS from the albums listed here?

I bought a record of For Him Who Has Ears to Hear by Keith Green at a reasonable price off Amazon.com. I don’t know if you’re into vinyl or not, but the record plays very well, even though the cover isn’t in the greatest condition. That doesn’t really concern me that much though.
Good Resource for hard to find music
I’ve managed to find some of these “elusive” titles (more of the contemporary nature) at

I hope this helps
