The differnces in Christian Music

[FidelCastro]

Bad Stuff - Christian Rock (Tree 63), Christian Metal and Christian Rap. Anything that says the lord is my friend and go to church everyday.

Good stuff - Gospel, and Artists like Elvis and Johnny Cash. Johnny doesn't try to force his beliefs on you but rather he hopes that god will have mercy on him when he dies. Johnny also doesn't always sing about religion, it was only evident in his later stuff.

Johnny Cash and Elvis are music gods and that is why I have a high level of respect for the Baptist Church. The Baptist Church puts out many good people such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Johnny Cash and Elvis.

Are you kidding me? They are one of the most dogmatic churches around today. Also, many of them are republicans.

Does Jeff Buckley count as 'Christian'? If so, Buckley for teh win

I quite like Switchfoot, but for the music rather than the lyrics. I find most Christan rock boring and shite, but some of it is musically not bad. I can tollerate the latter, but most of it is just soulless crap.

I hate Christian rock and rap too. Too judgemental and too fascist.

:rolleyes:
Have you even listened to Christian music? I'm an athiest but I acknowledge that regardless of it's lyrics (which are never fascist) it is usually quite good and stomachable.

EDIT: (hmm... invented a new word at the end there, ah what the hell, it's cool)

I don't know about you, but I don't like Elvis music. It is sooo boring and mostly just talking about fucking chicks, or loving god. For the most part, I am not a Johnny Cash fan except for his cover of Nine Inch Nail's "Hurts".

Otherwise, I've found most Christian music extremely "bleh".

i like alot of the Christian Hardcore ( Martry AD, Norma Jean ect)

[Floyd.]

Carter family band, Blue Sky Boys, all that 'traditional' music is more often than not christian and totally beautiful. I also really like the Lauren Hill MTV 2.0 album.

[Ligeia]

I think the band "creed"(which doesnt exist anymore) was christian music,well their name is very obvious :P ..anyway,at least at the beginning they made nice music,very melodic and at times I thought that some of their lyrics had a leftist touch,but at the beginning.I think they made rock or post grunge ,....something like that. <_<
