Talk:Steve Taylor

message: Did Swaggart write about Taylor before Taylor wrote the song about him or was it the other way around? Dates would be helpful. --Walter Görlitz 20:00, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Since "Guilty By Association" was on his original demo tapes, I would suggest that there is little chance that Swaggart knew about Taylor before this song was written and as such the song predates the book and as such the reference should change. --Walter Görlitz 00:41, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Finished the research. According to, an interview by Taylor the book in question is Religious Rock 'n' Roll - A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing (ASIN 0935113053) and was published in June 1987, at least two full years after the release of Meltdown (1984). Rev. Swagart was reacting to Taylor's jab, not the other way around. --Walter Görlitz 00:58, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Which came first?

message: In the discography, would a subsection of singles be of interest?  Steve released some 12" dance singles ("Meltdown" and that multi-single with Sheila Walsh come to mind) and I know there were two or three CD singles with Chagall.  I'll go dig up the info and add it if I don't hear anything to the contrary.   Mitchell k dwyer 01:09, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Discography:  Singles 

message: I know former Facts of Life star Lisa Whelchel appeared in Taylor's Meltdown video, but I remembered reading something about his writing a song (I believe the one referenced was "Good Girl") for her All Because of You album later in 1984. Am I correct on the latter point?

replies: text: I just looked at the CCM Encyclopedia at a Christian bookstore this morning which says Taylor contributed "Good Girl".   WAVY 10 17:17, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Whelchel connection? 

message: I think this article rates more in-depth information on Steve Taylor's relationship with the Newsboys.  Steve wrote the lyrics for most of their big hits, but all we get is one vague sentence saying he worked with them? Capmango 06:00, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Steve Taylor wrote lyrics for various artists:  Newsboys and Guardian in particular, but others as well.  I don't know the details, nor do I have a comprehensive list, but that, perhaps in a separate section, is just the kind of information I want from Wikipedia.71.56.153.169 (talk) 22:16, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:SteveTaylor3.jpg

message: Steve had a few recurring subjects or points over the course of his songwriting career, among them hypocrisy, especially by Christians, and self-deprecation and disdain for the elevated status of Christian performers by portions of the Christian community.  This article's comments express a very limited part of his work, biased more towards the popularity of the personalities referenced than towards his major points.71.56.153.169 (talk) 22:28, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Feel free to add content. It would be even better if you had a reference for the themes. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:53, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
