Hey SoulTrackers! We've been having fun over the past few month as you've been helping us choose the Greatest Soul Albums of the All Time, decade by decade (to see your picks, click here).
Now we're going to mix it up a bit. The rise of Contemporary Gospel over the past couple of decades has been nothing short of, well...miraculous. Gospel has moved beyond the churches and out to the rest of the world via legendary artists like Andre Crouch, the Winans, Kirk Franklin and Mary Mary. And it deserves the chance to shine in our polls too!

And it deserves the chance to shine in our polls too!
So here's your chance to help us honor the best of Contemporary Gospel! Later this month we'll be posting a list of the finalists for Best Contemporary Gospel Albums from which SoulTrackers can vote their favorites, but we want you to help us come up with that list. In the comment section below, tell us your choices of albums that should be on that list. Based on that list and input we get from our music industry friends, on around June 20th we'll put together our poll of the Best Contemporary Gospel Albums 1970-2009.
So don't be shy. Tell us what you think! One qualifier: We're looking for albums of new material, so no greatest hits, compilations or live albums that don't have new material.
