I'm serious here. What were your favorite Kingdom Song (versions) when you were a JW?

A few years ago I discovered the Unreleased Singing Kingdom Songs (supposedly commissioned by the Governing body, but ultimately decided to sound to "christendom") that included George Benson and others. The songs were very well produced, done in jazz and modern ballad. I listened to these in secret because they were already "banned" from distribution by the time I found out about them. A friend of mine had this on copied CD, but refused to copy it for me or lend it to me after the Kingdom Ministry article came out saying not to distribute it.

I really liked the african versions of the Kingdom Songs, also produced by the society. There were no instrumentals, just beautiful singing in harmony. Africans sure can sing. My classmate (from the Congo) once warned me, when you hear singing, you start running, because during his time in Congo, it meant a protest was brewing.

The vocal versions of the new kingdom songs are pretty nice, but they all sound the same. After listening to 30 tracks of the same style, it would be nice to see things changed up.

The officially released "Singing Kingdom Songs" with the Opera Dude and the barbershop trio. My mom used to play this all the time. She didn't like the singing much, but it helped to memorize the songs. I used to play it, and sing along very loudly, to annoy the rest of the family.
