    So if you're a Christian you aren't allowed to listen to good music. Bummer.

    lol. the music is good. some of it is entertaining and fun to listen to, but a lot it is what draws us into a closer connection with God. The music doesn't simply appeal to our fleshly nature for enjoyment and dancing, it's there for our spiritual benefit as well. if you even picked up a Bible, or know the goodness of God, and when you hear these lyrics sang, whether you're happy or sad, they touch you like no other form of secular music can. it keeps you grounded, and in touch with the plans God has for you, even on your worst days. so much i can say but I could write a novel. Love Jesus and the people he uses through song.

    I like a lot of what has already been listed. I would add to that CeCe Winans, Anthony Evans, Barlow Girl, Superchik and Mandisa. I like a lot of Christian music but really like a good beat to work out to personally.

    Skillet....sorry if that doesn't count but it does too me

    Rock band with Christian influence.... Still counts :P

    Yay! :bigsmile:

    Skillet has one of the most amazing hearts for Christ... no matter thier * label*. In my opinion, there should not be such a huge devision between secular and Christian music..... it's the heart of the artists that matter...:) ....and artists that can more accessibly reach those who do not know Christ, need to be out there in my opinion. The first time I saw Skillet was about 10 or 11 years ago... i think it was GMA week in Nashville...we walked into a club...and the singer was up front, worshiping his heart out. Totally immersed in worshiping God. No pretense... just honest, heartful love flowing out of him... :flowerforyou:

    I listen to a huge mix of music... both mainstream and *christian*.... I'm a music addict..and see alot of beauty and God given gifts in those artists that don't know Him ( yet).... even if they don't realize it... thier gifts come from His heart...He created them!..but anyhow. sorry for the mini tangent.. ;)

    A lot that I will list is slightly old school...but here goes...

    I mostly listen to metal, including Christian metal but I think everyone should check out Lecrae. He is awesome!

    I do like Zao, Living Sacrifice, Becoming the Archetype as well as some of the classic heavy metal like Stryper, Bloodgood, Guardian and older Tourniquet. There's some good metal out there.

    I still like DCT. I just converted my VHS copy of Rap, Rock and Soul to DVD. Holy cow are they young in that. It's a bit cheeseball, but still awesome.

    Not cool, not funny, and not original at all.

    Can somebody explain to me what separates Christian Music from other forms of music?

    Didn't most music evolve from some form of spiritual beginning?
    Is it subject matter? A Christian list of approved subject matter and/ or groups? Who decides?

    This may sound like I am not sincere, but I am. As a Blues afficiado, I am quite familiar with the evolution of modern day blues. And a serious influence was early Gospel and Spiritual Music. Can Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Eric Clapton, etc. be considered Christian Music?

    I am sure that there is overlap, eg, Creed who marketed themselves in the mainstream rock as well as Christian music genre. It probably goes back to how the group itself wishes to market its own music. When I think of Christian music, I think of a positive message in the lyrics and free from foul language.

    Christian music is music that promotes Christian lifestyles, values, etc. It's not a genre in the sense of "type" of music as in bluegrass, rock, etc. Christian music is more defined by the message and lyrics than the specific genre. That, of course, leaves it somewhat open to interpretation- for me Christian music is music that inspires me to worship and praise God. Eric Clapton doesnt necessarily hit the nail on the head for me in that respect, but that is my personal taste in music speaking as well.

    In response to the OP, I love most of what comes on KLove...that pretty much plays continually in my car. LOVE Francesca Batistelli, Newsboys, MercyMe....there's too many good ones to try to name!
