Hi all,

I'm looking for a Christian equivalence of Coldplay. I'm shopping for a friend's birthday and she loves Coldplay very much. I thought it might be a good idea to get her a Christian version of that type of music. Any suggestions? ^^;

Switchfoot? Starflyer 59? I wouldn't know really, I don't listen to secular music, but that's just what I found based on my research.

Personally, I don't know! :sweat: That's why I'm asking...I'm sampling some of the music right now from amazon but I just can't tell what type of music it is yet.

I listened to something at their homepage.. http://www.coldplay.com ...

and if I should try to find the equivalence i think maybe.... Bebo Normann or Geoff Moore... or maybe Switchfoot that Da Rabid Duckie mentioned...

Hmm Coldplay that's a tough one... I really don't have a clue sorry. Coldplay are too quiet and gentle for me to really know any bands that sound like them.... If you'd asked for Slipknot or Metallica I could have done that though :S

Chris Rice is cool but I dunno whether it's considered rock. 0.o *remembers the Cartoon song..hehe* Erm....did some research, what does everyone think of Delirious?

How about Delirious... vaguely similar I guess.

I honestly can't stand delirious? To me everything sounds the same... EVERY song all alike :S That and they give me a headache... (strange thing to say coming from someone who listens to Demon Hunter but they do!!!)

I'm not against them in anyway... I just don't like em :P

Delirious? is not that much alike Coldplay in my opinion...
Chris Rice can be... I like Chris Rice very much... "Deep enough to dream", but the style is "lighter" that coldplay.

I'm probably late, but I was thinking of D.C. Talk and Newsboys. Those are the only ones I'm familiar with. I listen to old-fashioned stuff and have no idea who Skillet or Switchfoot, or any of those guys, are. *huh*
