Bach. Anything after that’s pretty cheesy…
Addendum: https://youtu.be/KSTFKJqy9AQ
Bach rules.
Is Skillet a Christian band? They’ve got a couple songs I like.
Monster, Hero…
Five Iron Frenzy. Christian ska band.
What other band is going to write a song about Different Strokes? FIF is still part of my regular rotation.
Also, basing a love song on a reference to Gauntlet.
“Spirit In The Sky” -by Norman Greenbaum (himself Jewish)
Sister Christian by Night Ranger. 😉
Ha
It’s not technically a Christian band but Creed has a couple banger songs that are very clearly about God/religion.
If a song slaps a song slaps. I don’t care if it slaps while it talkes about something I don’t personally believe in. I still listen to all kinds of hardcore rap and I have never done any drugs harder than shrooms or shot anybody.
WITH AHHHHMS WIDE OPEN~~~
Can you take meeee hiiigherrrrr (banawanylanaoooo)
It’s only possible to sing along to this song with your full chest.
I used to get down with some Collective Soul.
I always respected that they refused to identify as a Christian rock band. From what I recall their response was something like “We’re a rock band, that happens to be Christian.”
Black gospel music has often been the only Christian-oriented music that really did it for me. A lot of blues, soul, etc was created by folks who got their start in black gospel music, and used what they learned there in secular genres. Hugely influential in so many different types of music.
P.O.D. - Satellite and earlier albums.
Seeking the Wise still makes it onto my rock playlists.
Quite a lot of folk hymnals absolutely slap.
Check the soundtrack for O Brother Where Art Thou?
Carol of the Bells
Starflyer 59!!
August burns red
The devil wears prada
Underoath
Silent planet
Texas in july
Wolves at the gate
Memphis may fire (some lyrics are cringey though)Depends what you call Christian music
NF got pretty big for a while, and pretty sure he never swore because of his religion and talked often about Christianity and his faith while promoting the Christian beliefs that are actually in the Bible and admitting his own struggles and overcoming them thru faith and hard work.
That is Christian music to me.
I mean, it’s not even really debatable, he’s signed to a label exclusively for Christian musical acts.
But music that is explicitly all about Jesus is usually just cashgrabs with zero meaning behind it. It’s playing to the low denominator for things where “safe” is the most important part of music.
So, TLDR:
NF
I hate cashgrab music. You can clearly tell the difference between it and Christian music written (much of it centuries old) out of passion and love
