Ken Snyder

Ken Snyder was a legendary musician and is now a practicing pastor in Sheldon, Iowa.

Origins
Ken Snyder was a Christian gospel singer in the 70s who released several albums that are no longer available or in print, including his 1976 release “By Request Only”, which became famous on the internet after being featured on several “Worst album covers” lists.

Ken is a staple of /mu/ culture, appearing on multiple essentials charts and lists. His music is often regarded as "2deep4u" when satan-worshippers claim they were trolled by /mu/ for recommending this album. Its ripping in the 21st century has coined the genre "post-gospel", due to its post-internet status and musical content. Ken as a meme took-up again in 2012 with a series of threads titled "ITT: God-tier albums", the base of a pun on the phrase "god-tier" with Ken's gospel relations.

By Request Only (1976)
Ken's first discovered album, infamous for its place as a Worst Album Cover of All Time.

"Ministry: That is the purpose for my life and the reason I travel, to minister and reach out to help someone find a richer, fuller life in Christ. It is by the request of many people that this album has been released and by faith I'm trusting it will help in leading people into a deeper spiritual life." - Ken Snyder (Taken from back of record sleeve.)
