What "Christian Rock" would you recommend?

    I was driving along today and passed a church advertising some singing group that is to appear Sunday. I thought, "Man, I HATE religious music. Always have." It was the "always have" that caught my attention. I realized that this was an automatic response, implanted by the JW's. When I really thought about it, what I dislike about the music is the (in my opinion) false message it conveys.

    So what? Do I agree with every song I listen to? Do I REALLY think she's buying a stairway to heaven? Is it REALLY a manic monday? And just how safe IS this "safety dance", anyway?

    As a tearing-down-the-walls experiment, I want to expose myself to some religious music. But to be fair, I don't like much music to begin with. So the best chance I have here is Christian Rock, I think.

    So, what would you recommend? I like "pop rock" stuff, particularly from the 80's. I like Alanis Morrisette. (Insert/delete n's, r's, s's, and t's as appropriate) I like Phil Collins.

    I await your learned replies!

    Why would anyone (except x-tians) want to listen to religious propaganda masquerading as "music" ?

    Personally, I would rather be blindfolded, handcuffed to a chair while being forced to listen to the collected works of Yoko Ono before I would listen to "religious" music....the KingDumb Melodies were plenty enough for me! LOL........

    Certainly not "Chris Rock", so it would have to be Jesus, "The Christian's Rock".

    So you just listen to political propaganda masquerading as music?

    My exposure to "Christian Rock" has been, on occasion, when I can't find anything else to listen to on the radio- typically on a long drive in a neck of the woods that is remote.

    I have heard some that I would listen to again, but none that I would buy (yet).

    I have heard some "Christian Rock" that was touching and had a good mesage, but not much. I couldn't even name one group. I think it will get better with time, like all genres (except rap).
