August 24, 200619 yr Quite a difficult story to type, ill try to anyway. My dad has got a new job after working 21 years at a company, now hes working at a company called GMI music, they sell cds from gospel/chirstian artists (Like Island Records, Epitaph Records, Interscope records etc) Every now and then, he gets free cds and dvds (6-10 a week or so), all gospel/christian music cds. Now Im a big fan of Red Hot Chili Peppers, so that kind of music doesnt really fit togheter O:) . Offcourse my dad wants me to listen to Christian music music, and he doesnt really support my music taste. I tried listening to some artists, but I just dont like that kind of music at all. My dad also said, gospel artists/christian music artists are in the top 10 list of America, that its normal to have gospel artists in the top 10. (In Holland you wont see any gospel artists in the top 10) My questions, Who knows some good Christian Artists, Rock as genre? Should I stick to the music I listen to now? Is it true, that gospel artists in America are really that populair? Thanks for reading, help me out! : [http://woopidoo2.deviantart.com][Tip.it Moderator from Dec 10, 2006 to 03 Sep, 2008]
August 24, 200619 yr I doubt gospel music is that popular in america but christian music is for sure. P.O.D. Relient K Switchfoot Are all really popular or were at one point in america and have radio time on sectual stations. Very good illustration to how important christian beliefs are relavent to life.
August 24, 200619 yr Not really my thing. Its better than Christian Rock though, the lyrics are always so forced.

August 24, 200619 yr The only artists I can think of which are in my library and classify as Gospel, are Mary Mary. It's always worthwhile listening to other genres of music, you never what you might like until you have a listen! SHH HUT YUH MUH. DERKHED.
August 24, 200619 yr Author and what about Third Day? thats the closest to my kind of music so far [http://woopidoo2.deviantart.com][Tip.it Moderator from Dec 10, 2006 to 03 Sep, 2008]
August 24, 200619 yr and what about Third Day? thats the closest to my kind of music so far What about them? Hawk Nelson and Thousand Foot Krutch are both pretty good. If you like rap John Ruben is awesome. If you like metal Skillet is good. Some christian groups get really popular. Like relient k is so popular they sell there cds at hollister..
August 24, 200619 yr mm, christian music sucks IMO. but UnderOath is pretty sick. so is maryjane, if you like emo
August 24, 200619 yr There are many good singer-songwriters that sing about their believes. Sufjan Stevens sings a lot about his faith, which is Christianity. Then there's a load of artists who don't sing about the Lord, but about what they believe in, what they experience as their religion. Almost all older generation singer-songwriters had some songs with a religious touch, of which there are hundreds of very influential and good songs. Bill Hicks[/url]":dhj2kan9]Since the one thing we can say about fundamental matter is, that it is vibrating. And since all vibrations are theoretically sound, then it is not unreasonable to suggest that the universe is music and should be perceived as such.
August 24, 200619 yr is it true that cristian music labels dont have a platinum album??? not everybody wants to hear the bubblegum pop garbage.im gonna burn in hell and drink all of satans beer.trashmetal/deathmetal/hardrock/folkmetal die hard
August 24, 200619 yr is it true that cristian music labels dont have a platinum album??? dunno, never heard of cristian music.
August 24, 200619 yr Try looking for some christian black metal bands... I don't have any examples on hand though, but i've seen 'em before..
August 24, 200619 yr slick shoes nor MxPx are christian, however they do have a religion Err, MxPx started out as a christian band. The reason why most christian music is bad is because I think they set out as christian first, music second. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.

Something behind the music is the way I like it.
August 25, 200619 yr I've recently got into some bands that my parents probably would not support me listening to seeing as my family is a christian family. But, I still have some of the best songs of christian artists in my iTunes collection. One of the best bands is Switchfoot imo. In fact just the other day I heard one of Switchfoot's most famous song playing in hollister. It was called I Dare You to Move. In this song it basicly says I dare you to move but it doesn't say anything about God, which is something that's gonna get non religous into their music and listening to it. I'd consider their music more motivational then Christian. There's also many other slower christian bands that are really really religous and slow. My dad listens to those and I get annoyed by them. ^Thank you Despaxes for the sig
August 25, 200619 yr Stick with the music you like. Don't listen to anything based on what other people tell you to, even if it's your dad. ^The most disturbing signature on Tip.it^Last.fm|HELLY KAYLA!|Oh the mehagurtz!|#Siencemakers"they care less about their spelling mistakes then I." - Lionheart"apinagez... let me
August 25, 200619 yr I agree with the pople that are saying there are some really great Christian artists but i dont classify them as Christian rock. I guess you count the Killers as a Christian band, I really like them and saw them live? The reason why i dont like Christian rock is because the lyrics tend to force religion and God into the song rather than truely singing from the heart. You dont need to sing about God and Jesus every other line to have faith and real feeling into your songs Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

August 25, 200619 yr is it true that cristian music labels dont have a platinum album??? dunno, never heard of cristian music. its from a southpark episode where cartman starts a cristian rockband (to win a bet with kyle, if cartman gets an platinum album before kyle does cartman gets 20 dollar) faith +1 together with token and butters, cartman then grabs a bunch of lovesongs and edits the songtext i love u .... jesus i need u ... jesus .... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Rock_Hard not everybody wants to hear the bubblegum pop garbage.im gonna burn in hell and drink all of satans beer.trashmetal/deathmetal/hardrock/folkmetal die hard
August 25, 200619 yr [hy would that be bad? Is it so absurd to have a foundation? It's got nothing to do with having a foundation, it is to do with them not being musically talented. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.
