Yeah, it's true. A LOT of contemporary pop is 'christian music' - totally changes the lyrics when you realize the band is talking about jesus instead of a women.
P.O.D.'s "Alive" is a classic example. Unless you know they are a contemporary christian band, you'd NEVER guess the actual meaning of the lyrics.
EX:
Everyday is a new day
Creed identifies themselves as a christian band, too...I dunno bout them, though.
I'm thankful for every breath I take
I won't take it for granted
So I learn from my mistakes
It's beyond my control sometimes it's best to let go,
whatever happens in this lifetime
So I trust in love ( So I trust in love )
You have given me peace of mindI, I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I, I feel so alive
For the very first time
And I think I can flyNever really got into Amy Grant.

Oh, BTW, figured out the song similarity.

cool do you like The Halofriendies? The thing about Contempo-Christian Music is that it is a poor imitation of the culture. As Christians we should lead the cultue not do a bad imitation of it.No just give me your R.C. Sproul tapes and others like him.

I like a bit of everything except for country, gospel, and most rap. Here are some of the people/bands in my collection:
+Elton John
+Finger Eleven
+Assorted 80s pop collections
+Godsmack (They RULE!)
+Beethoven
+Yanni
+Disturbed (I might have anger issues.)
+Lorena McKennitt
+Soundtrack from the game "Xenogears"
+Drowning Pool (Purchased mostly for the song "Bodies.")And as soon as I have money, though, I'm getting three things: the latest No Doubt CD, the soundtrack from "The Matrix," and something by the Insane Clown Posse.

You have SOME issues, that's for sure
Try some traditional Irish, too. Mary Black is very good - there are a LOT of others...

"Traditional Irish"? You mean like Gary Moore and Thin Lizzy? That's as Irish as I get!
