The band has released nine albums, two receiving Grammy nominations: Collide and Comatose.

Skillet went through several line-up changes early in their career, leaving founder John Cooper as the only original member remaining in the band. They are known for a relentless touring schedule, which garnered them a top five ranking in the Hardest Working Bands of 2010 by Songkick.com. -Wikipedia

I can't remember a time when I didn't know who Skillet was. But it wasn't until their album Comatose that they really entered my mind-share. The epic strings on the first track threw me higher than I expected and immediately made my top album list with just a few notes. I then found their previous album, Collide, and remain a strong fan to this day. I love the unique, gravel quality of John's voice and really enjoy the high quality stadium rock sound they produce.
