As somewhat of a response to the suckage of Christian Music brought up in the "Church with No Singing" thread..I thought it might be a good idea for a thread where people can introduce others to some faith-based music that they do like. I mentioned that I like Hillsong United in the other thread..but here are some other bands and artists I like: Chlidren 18:3 <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rZLzPw9jODc?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rZLzPw9jODc?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> Jimmy Needham <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/m52V4cKeNXU?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/m52V4cKeNXU?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> Brandon Heath <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XEfIcMqAzvs?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XEfIcMqAzvs?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> and one of the most interesting acts...especially if you like old-school industrial music... <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3a7dGI3iRog?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3a7dGI3iRog?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

I can't believe you posted a Children 18:3 song!! i like the "Homemade Valentine" song THE DRUMMER IS HOTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they're all siblings. Glad to see they kind of made it. I saw them in the summer of 08 I think. It was a random concert in a small town in ND. They played with The Dizmas who are also a pretty decent Christian band. there were maybe tops 13 people there, 6 of those thirteen were myself and my younger cousins. I felt bad that they had to play for such a small crowd. We spent a good while trying to snap pics of the drummer. will post some christian songs in a sec
Jeremy Camp is my favorite. Every band I'd list is already under the ones nWo34Life listed. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pReDCK5OjME?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pReDCK5OjME?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/s3QGosPo1zk?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/s3QGosPo1zk?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

do you really like ALL of those?...or did you just copy & paste from a list of Christian artists? Didn't know you were that into this stuff. Next DFW viewing we'll have to talk about this stuff. I didn't listen to ANY christian music until I started working at Daystar - I thought it was all cheesy and bad, but I'm finding there are a lot of them I actually like. (still can't pay me to listen to DC Talk or Toby Mac though). I think many people see "Christian" attached to them and automatically dismiss them..thats why people artists like flyleaf and switchfoot try not to be overtly Christian - they don't want people to know until they've decided that they like their music. In regards to music, the "Christian" label has a bit of an unfair stigma attached to it.

You're trembling Jesus BABY!!!!" :grin:
Nope, I like all of those and more.....more into the Rock genre. You don't like TobyMac? Come on dude... The new Newsboys with Tait....freaking awesome! I used to listen to all the secular garbage and I realized, what does this music do for me? Nothing. Christian music to me has a good beat to it and it comes along with a message for my life. Haven't looked back since....

"I'll be" by the Newsboys... song almost has same melody as "Free Fallin'" by Tom Petty. Drummer also does a little gig where he is strapped to the seat of the drum, and is mounted on a spinning wheel.
