Never Say Dinosaur
''Never Say Dinosaur'' is a tribute album dedicated to Christian rock band Petra. The album includes 11 revisions and re-imaginings of classic Petra songs and one original composition by Kevin Smith of DC Talk. ''Dinosaur'' contained an eclectic lineup of artists which, at the time, highlighted "some of the best new bands in Christian music." The album title is a pun on Petra's fourth studio album, '' Never Say Die''. It is also a pun on the title of Petra's irrelevance and age, who at the time had been performing for nearly twenty-five years, by rejecting comparisons of the band with extinct dinosaurs. The album was released by Star Song Records in 1996. They worked with the band during most of the 1980s through part of the band's most successful tenure.

Throughout the 1980s and into the early 1990s, Petra was one of the world's most popular Christian rock bands, with each of its albums during that period selling hundreds of thousands of copies while the band sold-out arenas and regular ...
