Guest So what? I liked bubble boy Report post Posted January 10, 2003 I don't know about you guys, but I only listen to non-secular music. Have you heard todays christian music? If you have, which artists, groups do you like. A couple of my favorites are Jars of Clay, Rich mullins and DC talk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kinetic Report post Posted January 10, 2003 The theme song to Veggietales is pretty righteous, in every meaning of the word. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coffin Surfer Report post Posted January 10, 2003 Underoath is my favorite of the Chrisitian themed music. A great progressive Hardcore band that dabbles in Black Metal and Melodic Death. Zao and the Hopesfall(No Wings to Speak of, anyway) are good as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Incandenza Report post Posted January 10, 2003 Any musical genre that's more concerned with pushing a message rather than the song is bound to be crap. A band can be religious and not suck; Low would be a fine example of this (two-thirds of the band are Mormon). They treat their craft as art. Yes, there is non-secular imagery in their songs, but it's atmosphere and not preaching to the choir. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny little thing you have there about the niners. They won't need to comeback from 24 behind because they will be 24 (at least) ahead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Edwin MacPhisto Report post Posted January 10, 2003 I didn't know that Hopesfall was Christian. Â Guess I've been more attention to the screams than the message. Â RatsMilk is right, though. In all seriousness, "The Cross" is one of the most spiritual songs I've ever heard, especially from a man who on that same disc performs "If I Was Your Girlfriend."

Guest treble charged Report post Posted January 10, 2003 I've been told by someone that all music, besides Christian music, was evil, and you would go to hell for listening to anything else. And he said this with a straight face, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Man in Blak Report post Posted January 10, 2003 I thought Rich Mullins (the "Lullaby" guy?) was more of a folk artist, but hey. Â At any rate, there are a sparse number of Jars of Clay songs that are listenable...but, past that, I really feel that the rest of Christian music is just a downright awful homogenization of current music, perfectly sanitized so that all the emotion and feel of the music itself is sacrificed for the message of tha LORD. Â Icky icky BAD. Â *cleans self after entering thread* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dopey Report post Posted January 10, 2003 I would have to go with DC Talk, for a modern Christian act. I still like the 80's Christian bands like The Lifesavers, Undercover, Red Christmas, New December, Vacation Heaven, and the Rez band. Seeing that I was the lead singer of New December, I had to throw us in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted January 10, 2003 Well since I am a extreme metal fan.......I would have to go with Crimson Thorn as my fav. CHRISTIAN band......Living Sacrifice is decent as well and some say I resemble one of the band members.....haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted January 10, 2003 I've got a cd called Ceremony by a band called Spooky Tooth. I don't really know anything about it other than that one song is just the lord's prayer put to music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EricMM Report post Posted January 10, 2003 While I wouldn't call them a Christian band per se, MxPx has a few songs that deal with their faith, quite a few actually. That's about as far as I go really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest spiny norman Report post Posted January 10, 2003 Man In Blak, isn't Shawn Mullins the Lullaby guy? I don't know who Rich Mullins is though. Â As for Christian Music, I really don't like it. I do find religious fascinating (as an agnostic) but I prefer if it was uswed more subtly, and I find Christian Music (from what I've heard) really doesn't have that subtlety. Â And what's the go with the sudden influx of all the Christianity threads on this board? I didn't really expect it in Music folder. What's next? The Sports Folder!!?

I don't really know anything about it other than that one song is just the lord's prayer put to music. I don't think Spooky Tooth is Christian. They had a pretty sweet album cover featuring Jesus with his hand nailed to the side of his head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest So what? I liked bubble boy Report post Posted January 10, 2003 They had a pretty sweet album cover featuring Jesus with his hand nailed to the side of his head. What was the meaning of the cover?? If it is what I think, then Jesus wants to say, "Thanks for the laugh, you fool". We all know were fools end up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted January 10, 2003 I think it was depicting Jesus as some sort of cosmic buffoon. But remember, God is a concept by which we measure our pain. So don't get all bent out of shape about it, and let's not have this thread turn into yet another theological pissing match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
