What's your favorite Christian Artist/Group?

[beau99]

Sufjan Stevens is considered Christian? Wow, I didn't know that.

Yeah.

"Casimir Pulaski Day" mentions God, and "The Man of Metropolis Steals Our Hearts" blatantly praises God, though as a metaphor.

But as previously posted, it's mostly his stuff from Seven Swans.

[Zarn Ishtare]

Rich Mullens. There is no better, and in my mind, there shouldn't be.


Other than that, Chris Rice, Mewithoutyou (You debate their worship? Go listen to C Minor) Third Day (I'm Happy Shark Gomer, by the way), old DC Talk, Clannad (Christian Celtic, YAY!) and last but by no means least, the one, the only, the unforgettable and excellent music of: Casting Crowns. (Would You Take The Place Of This Man?)


Wonderful. Thank God that He has blessed so many with a talent and a desire for worship. Rich Mullens is still the best for real praise and worship songs, but these other ones are certainly uplifting and strength building.

Amen.

Can ya tell I like old stuff? XD I don't keep up with Christian stuff these days because..well...most of it is boring. Also, what's with all the churches forsaking the old hymns? I love hymns.

[xCAFx]

Vengeance Rising
Extol
Living Sacrifice(mostly there first cd)

[RK Ryune]

Plus One.

And I say that with ZERO SHAME WHATSOEVER.

Relient K and Barlow Girl win a lot, too.

My thoughts exactly. I was looking through my music library yesterday and I suddenly realized that Jennifer Knapp and Jars of Clay are pretty much the only Christian artists left on my list.

I guess Downhere, Starfield and Tree63 are okay too. I still have one or two songs by them. Heheh, and the Blind Boys of Alabama

[rocklobster]

I'm slowly getting into this genre. I like Third Day, Rebecca St. James, Delirious, Sonic Flood, and Michael W. Smith

Yeah! Seriously! I don't get it either. The church doesn't need to try to be "with it." Old hymns are awesome.

Anyway, I'm not particularly fond of any Christian artists, because they all seem to be "the Christian version of x" which I suppose sells well, or they wouldn't keep doing it, but I don't like that.

Though I really love David Crowder and what I've heard of Five Iron Frenzy.

[That Dude]

I do think it's funny when secular music tries to copy christian...Say with copycat bands of Norma Jean and Underoath.

[jadestinger]

Jars of Clay, Relient K and David Crowder
I also love it when Leigh Nash/Six Pence None the Richer does feats with Jars... droool. With Every Breath is so good.

Remember what Jesus said "If they are professing in my name, do not stop them. He that is not with Me is against me." or something like that. I stink at memorizing verses.
BTW, Nora Jones is jazz, not pop.

Yea old hymns are excellent. i am not a fan musically because they are just to slow but like when The Passion band did the Hymns cd (which I HIGHLY recommend) I fall in love with the words of the songs

BTW Nora Jones is jazz not pop

No you misunderstood that dude he meant Norma Jean the Christian Hardcore band

[rocklobster]

Oops. I thought of Nora Jones. My bad, misread the post.

[blkmage]

David Crowder Band. Maybe it's just me, but lately, a lot of the other worship leaders sound the same and DCB seems to be the only worship group that's been pushing creativity musically, in terms of style. Just look at A Collision.

So, welcome to CAA, and you're amazing because I'm the resident Showbread fan, and they made the top of your list. : D

That other stuff isn't too shabby, either...FIF, BS2, WBCC, Underoath...have you heard The Devil Wears Prada yet? You might dig them.
