I listen mainly to...

[Droobie]

What music do you listen to? Is praise & worship part of your daily devotional?

[MikeMcK]

What music do you listen to?
All kinds.

Is praise & worship part of your daily devotional?
No. I can't stand that kind of music. I'm all for praising and worshipping God, but that kind of music doesn't help me do that.

[Droobie]

Ooops... didn't realise I created this without a poll... :o

[GirlForChrist]

I love 'MercyMe' there music is so uplifting, and I'm working on getting there CD. I love praise and worship songs..I just dont have the time or the money to buy them...I mainly listen to christian and some rock and country too

[Kittie]

I listen to mostly secular music but I do have a Ginny Owens cd I love and she's Christian. I voted secular pop/rock though, with a bit of heavy metal and a tiny bit of country

[27D4]

I'm a news talk junkie, Michael Savage, Glen Beck, local stuff. I listen to worship music CDs and most other kinds of music.

[Kathy]

I listen too...Good ole rock & roll..mainly..the 60's rock. oh boy! I think i just dated myself. lol and maybe throw in a weeeee tiny bit of country,only because my hubbie loves it.

[Konnie]

I listen mainly to Country & Western music.

[Mitsuko]

I listen to Christian music, mostly, but I also like Japanese pop music. Since my dad listens to classical music nonstop, I'm sorta forced to hear it. I used to hate it, but now it's ok.

[Lotar]

electronica, but that's not an option.

[Henaynei]

Jazz and Messianic music - but neither are options offered

[Lotar]

jazz is on there

[Konnie]

I like country & western music and I'm not going to change my music preference for anyone.

[alonenomore2]

Praise and worship only for me.It just makes me feel closer to God.
I especially like Brownsville(Lindell Cooley) and Morning Star (DonPotter).
Though I do really love Third Days worship cd.

[loveHIM_liveHIM]

AAAAuuuuugggggghhhhh! I listen to them all!

Well, Christian Pop/Rock, Christian Praise & Worship, Secular Pop/Rock, Country & Western, Rap/R&B, and Heavy Metal... so thats pretty much everything.

What should I vote???
Oh, I give up... I'll abstain (sorrry)

[SuperTrooper]

You name it, I probally listen to it.

[sunshine]

secular pop/rock. I'm also a fan of Elvis :)

[pixie_dust]

i listen to SCC (only) for the past year now!!! =o)

[littleJesusgirl]

I listen to Christian music and I like pop and some rap music.

[jones_of_pbf]

I listen to Project 86, rock/metal, blues...
Oh, and sometimes bluegrass (It's good stuff).:cool:

[Echo]

I listen to whatever is on the radio :D

Echo

[Blessedone_74]

All I listen to is Contemporary Christian Music. I love it!! I have a radio in my bathroom that's always on my fav Christian station. My cable company has a great CCM chanel, with no commercials, and almost all of my cd's are CCM. So, no matter where I am or what I'm doing I have music that is uplifting and keeps my mind on my Lord. :bow: Third Day & Mercy me are the best!!!! :clap:

[yajyu]

There needs to be another selection on there.

All of the above.

This morning I was listening to opera and just a few minutes ago I was listening to POD. It all depends on my mood at the time.

[pixie_dust]

we don't have christian stations here in the philippines...so i get to bring my little casette player with me everytime i go to the bathroom...hehehe...pretty much everywhere and play my SCC albums over and over again.

[IvoryRain]

I lkisted to a wide variety of music - I dont stick to one type, but to the songs I enjoy or that have meaning to me.

[mesue]

I like Christian Radio. There are a couple in my area. They're a good mix of Music and talk. I feel fed when I listen to it.

[Bic]

I have to say that if I'm feeling down for any reason. (which I do at times) I put on some Praise and Worship and get a picture of Jesus in my mind and just sing to Him somehow I feel better.
Blessings, Bic

[MyLeaderisJesus]

Well Honestly I listen daily to Sportscenter, only show I like really. :)

[James Sez]

I listen to experimental music. 96 meaningless posts and counting.

[Snowy]

tryinf for all Christian...but still working on making it all Christian

[wow]

:wave:

[Ajani]

Mostly I listen to secular radio, though I do have some praise and worship CDs by Paul Oakley, Delerious and other Brit praise groups. I also like Helmut Lotti (classical vocalist) and Dean Martin, plus country music. My tastes cover a lot, but I hate rap, hiphop, dance, house, techno and all of that stuff..

[uncle david]

mostly secular rock & roll, like the white stripes, nirvana, metallica, afi, stuff like that, mostly for the musical sense not the lyrical sense of it because mostly, its just trash from hell. i also love jazz and blues(bb king swings!)

[JonathanFord]

I will listen to almost everything at least once!!

[In Eivad]

i used to listen to biggie, eminem and 2pac...but ive changed so im now listening to christian rap like kj-52, grits, gospel gangstaz and tbone. i realized what a bad influence biggie and 2pac had on me so i started listening to positive rap and i hope to someday be a famous christian rapper lol

-jimmywhite
:cool:

That's sort of true: they sort of make you want to be cool like they are and eventually misbehave or even commit crimes.
Christian rappers do not encourage voilence in their music.

By the way, I listen to almost everything that's on the radio, especially Heavy Metal and RnB.

[MetalBlade]

All kinds, but mostly the so labeled "devils music". I believe in God, but I like heavy metal...........don't worry I haven't figured it out yet either.

Edit: and when I say heavy metal I mean mostly 80's, thrash, power, death, eno-classical metal. Not all this mallcore junk on Mtv or the radio! heh

[Mr.Cheese]

Dude, I so ditto that.

METAL!!!

[FR0G]

Lately I'm been listening almost exlusively to p&w and gospel music. I love it! :)

[lilchristian_421]

I mostly only listen to christian music...there are so many genre's of christian music you can find almost anything. I love Mercy Me, Rescue, Audio Adrenaline plus many many more!

[katylees]

mostly praise n worship altho also sum christian rock/pop .... i love it!

[TehRoxxor]

Heavy Metal.

Rock on.

[AtlantaFest04]

Christian Pop/Rock & Heavy Metal

[Bullheadangel811]

I like Christian Rock/Pop and Praise & Worship

[Nathan8906]

Praise and Worship all the way. I really love the WOW yellow edition CD. My sisters listen to Pop/rap, but I can't stand it. Doesn't sound much like music to me, just loud ramblings. IMO, nothing good can come from that music :sorry:

[Lizzy16]

I said classical, but honestly, I listen to pop, some rock, r&b, praise and worship, classical (the most)....

[tetelestai]

i am so picky about my music. but i have found some christian bands that meet up to all my standards. sometimes i find christian music to be a little too...trite and shoe box and not really origional or imaginitive. which isn't really surprising, considering the contemporary stuff sort of arose through immitation of popular secular bands.

so i listen to underground/alternitive rock music that most people haven't heard of, but should. i like basically anything from Tooth and Nail records.

[HiredGoon]

indie rock, alt-country, country noir, revival.

[Blessed-one]

anime music, which includes a many varieties, so i can't really vote in the poll.

also enjoy classical and very selective chinese songs.

[Neenie]

U2. for me they are Secular Christian Rock together.

[Felron]

I listen to heavy metal, christian praise/rock, techno, and very lil pop, and most of it is in japanese.

[Jesus-is-the-best]

Hmm, hymms is not a choice. But out of those I listen to Christian rock and Classical music...
If hymms was on there, I would pick that over ALL.

[Cozmo]

My preference is Christian rock and Christian praise and worship. Favorites being SCC, 3rd Day, Keith Green, Delirious, Jars of Clay, Kevin Prosch, Mercy Me, 12 Stones, Switchfoot, Jeremy Camp, etc. Because my wife listens to secular rock and (gulp!) rap, I get a dose of that occasionally as well. I will say that some secular music isn't bad and can sound real good but it's few and far between and overall not to my liking. They just don't compare to the Christian music I listen to.

[kwimmer]

I'll listen to just about everything, with discreation of course.

[shinpai_ga_nai]

I tend to listen to Christian rock or Christian Praise and Worship. I listen to secular rock on occasion. I do listen to techno, but that's not on the list.

[Blessed75]

I listen to a mixture of music. Right now I'm into blues - bb king etc. also, been really into "doo wop" music lately - jerry lee lewis etc. i know, i was born in the wrong era....lol!

[Mongoose]

Some of the options were a bit broad. I just chose secular rock.

Anything from Robert Johnson to AC/DC (what do you know... both those bands/artists have some affilation with the devil :sorry: ) is what I like. Blues, classic rock, hard rock, and so on.

Gimme distorted guitar and fast guitar solos!!

[delicate_flower]

I love a variety of music. But I favor heavy metal, alternative and classic rock the most. Blues and some light jazz would come in second.

[Oblivious]

I listen to pretty much anything but hip-hop, rap, jazz, and country.

Techno is my favorite, followed by the music of the 80's.

[Abigail's folly]

I listen primarily to Christian Rock and Praise & Worship, but my tastes run the gamut: Jazz, Bluegrass, New Age, Folk, Classical, Symphonic, anything that's not on mainline radio stations! The only rock I like is anything from Genesis, new or old.

[TedMorgan3]

We are blessed with many options. I joke about my old UCC congregation in New Orleans. We were an old German congregation. We sang hymns of the Reformation and listened to a lot of Bach. I used to joke that sometimes we heard something modern--Brahms. Of course, the choir did sing "Morning Has Broken."

My father loved the modern praise songs. Members of my prayer group like modern Christian music. My own favorite Christian work is the Saint Matthew Passion. The local symphony and others performed it at the First Baptist Church in Baton Rouge a few years ago. What a blessing that was!

[faerieevaH]

I must confess I'm not very musically inclined. I like music, but there are often days that I find myself without having heard a single note of it, without missing it.

If I listen to music, it's mostly music from the twenties to the seventies. Most good music was made before I was born.
Musicals are an exception to that rule. *L*

Recently however, I've been looking around for more christian music. So... does anyone have any advice on which Christian music or group would be a good beginners choice for someone who mainly loves folk and 'hippie' music? *L*

[lonestar1]

I listen to country music... I like pretty much everything else too.

[daydreamergurl15]

I listen to christian music, pop and r&b as long as there are no profanity in them...but I mostly listen to christian music and b/c my church sing without instruments I don't like instrumental worship songs put I can listen to christian music b/c it's mostly made my them.

[Phocas]

I prefer absolute silence but when the noises from the street intrude I play classical - not oompah waltz stuff but cello music mainly.

[ACougar]

Also lots of Alternative, "World," and even some folk music. Not that I don't apreciate the sound of silence either. :)

[VWPETE]

POD and switchfoot are my to most listened to groups at this time

[GraceReborn]

80's music and lately some Christian Rock for the great messges they convey.

[thomas the tank engine]

Umm, I have tried listening to Christian rock/pop like delirious? etc but am not vastly keen as it seems a little cheesy - just 'cos its christian doesn't mean its great music! I mean I can think of loads of hymns/carols with incredibly turgid melody and harmony lines; but equally there are many Christian choral works I like, so maybe I should keep trying Christan pop :) anyone got any suggestions for someone who likes rock, punk, electronica, alternative, but especially emo? Cheers!

[tech.racer]

It depends on what mood i'm in, I can listen to anything from Chicofskey to Metallica. They all have an appeal to me at some time. I take no notice of the lyrics and any message they might be trying to persuade. I just enjoy music for what it is.

[Blessed75]

I voted pop/rock, talk radio (love neal boortz and clark howard - sean hannedy sometimes and of course, Country........love my country.......a little bit of heavy metal doesn't hurt either but i've got to be in the mood for it.......

[GraceReborn]

When I say Christian Rock... so far, that only means Third Day. lol But I love their music.

[samah]

i know what you mean about the cheese factor! i always thought that too, but know i find myself agreeing and singing along :blush: im going to see delirious on saturday in liverpool (England) and whilst im not a big fan my friend went to see them and said that the worship atmosphere was great and so i thought id go and see them with a group of people from my church.

i listen to allsorts but cant stand dance/trance and such like. i like placebo, alanis morissette, Nirvana (currently being played) and tori amos. i also love the praise music we sing in my church cos well, the Lord deserves to be praised!

[HolySpiritWarrior]

What kind of music do you listen to?
I voted Christian pop/rock and Christian Praise and Worship. Basically all I listen to except when I'm on the bus on the way to school and the bus driver plays the local secular station. I can't help that though. lol

I recently got Jaci Valesquez's CD. She’s awesome. AS well as Third Day and kj-52. Switchfoot is awesome. Bebo Norman, Audio Adrenaline, Jars of Clay, Jump 5, Kirk Franklin, Mary Mary, Plus One, TBone. Basically everything. I just love Christian. Especially worship. Rebecca St. James is my fave. The Worship Together CD they announce on TV with the blue cross on it is great and any of the Wow Albums.

Worship is definitely a daily part of my walk with the Lord. I just go in my room, pop in a Worship CD, get down on my knees and praise will all my might. I cry and cry. That is the most important part of my day and the time I feel closest to God. I don't know what I would do without it.

Love in Christ,
Erica

[sonshiningonme]

What music do you listen to? Is praise & worship part of your daily devotional?
i Love Christian music period.. any kind :holy:

[psychoceramic]

If we are to do every thing that we do for the Glory of God then is listening to non christian music wrong?

[Angeldove97]

There are only a few radio stations that'll play the kind of Christian music I like, but for the most part I listen to secular rock/pop and also I love trance/techno and dance music.

[samah]

If we are to do every thing that we do for the Glory of God then is listening to non christian music wrong?

non christian music, i wouldnt say so except for possibly death metal, anti-christian music on the other hand-definatley wrong

[KristianJ]

I voted for the top three. Mainly it's either Christian P&W or pop/rock to gain product knowledge since I work at a Christian bookshop, and I'm mainly into DC Talk, Supertones, Relient K, Newsboys and Delirious? at the moment. P&W wise I'm listening to a lot of lesser known Aussie groups such as a group called Emu Music, although I don't mind the odd Hillsong and Planet Shakers CD taking a turn. I really only listen to secular stuff that has clean lyrics and doesn't aim to treat the subject of the song as an object eg. Nickelback - Figured You Out

[Ghost23]

i listen to mostly christian rock but my second favorite is Praise and worship music. when I am going to be spending time with God praise and worship music is my obvious choice.

[MYMOM]

I LIKE TO LISTEN TO THE TALK RADIO

[samah]

I LIKE TO LISTEN TO THE TALK RADIO

whats that?

and are there any christian radio stations in the UK?

[fairyshyone]

I listen to many different kinds of music. There is no way I can pick just one.

[Jesusfrk4life77]

o! I luv music! WoW! thatz all i do is listen to music! I listen to mostly Christian rock! Like Thousand Foot Krutch, Hangnail, P.O.D, and Peace of mind! I like some Christian rap 2 like KJ-52...hes my fav Christian singer! I do listen to some rock...like not Christian like I LOVE SIMPLE PLAN and i listen to some Good Charlotte and Three Days Grace! I guess u could call me a Christian punker, cuz thatz what i am! haha! One Love, One God, One Way!
Souled Out 4 Jesus,
Alexis M

[cherokeehippie]

I didn't vote because it didn't really list my music tastes which is really folk music folk-rock, folk-country, Americana, bit of blues and bluegrass and Native American music. Even Israeli folk music!-I also like Bill Miller, a Native American musican who is not only native but folk-rock(Bob Dylan was one of his influences as a musican)--Bill Miller is also a Christian! And all his music is so good---it blew me away the first time I heard him. I had bought a cd of his at a Native American store--I had asked the woman there which cd she could reccomend to me and it was Bill Miller! When I put in his cd and listened for the first time it blew me away and I thought "this guy knows the LORD!" By the way, he's suppose to be on PBS sometime in March so keep an eye out for the show listings. I think there's another Native American musican that will be on that show, too.

[BillJohnson]

I listen to Pantera, old Metallica, Fear Factory, Marilyn Manson, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Slayer, and A Perfect Circle.

[Thankful75]

I listen pretty much to only christian music whether its christian rock/pop or worship and praise. It helps me get through my day and focus more on the Lord. I use it as part of my devotional. Take care and have a great day!!! :)

[nephilimiyr]

I voted for nothing because nothing on the list applies to me.

I like classic rock, I love Black Gospel, But what I really get into is da Blues!

[FlyingDestiny三]

I usually listen to the songs I like, doesn't matter what kind of a music it is... Although, I always listen to hip-hop, and sometimes christian songs, I guess.

[Creed]

I mostly listen to Christian music, mostly alternative and next would be Modern praise and worship. I also listen to teachers on the radio and on-line. And lastly, i listen to conservative talk radio to keep up to date... :cool:

L8r and God Bless,
Creed

[Jesusfrk4life77]

::gasps:: :eek: no creed~ jkjk!

[Creed]

Actually, i don't listen to them much anymore... we have a really good alternative Christian radio station where i live...

though when i first started posting on the Left Behind web site, that was part of where I got my "handle" from... along w/ the Apostles/Niceene Creed as well as Rich Mullins song "Creed", i think it was Rich Mullins...

:)

[Staind]

Heavy metal and Secular pop/rock.

[ilovethelord]

praise & worship .. Secondly Christian Rap..

[79Nate]

i listen to a lot of different stuff. i just discovered 1000 Foot Crutch. Pretty good christian band.

[KarateJack]

Where is the "variety" option? ;) I listen to everything. From Alan Jackson to Aerosmith to Michael W. Smith. :D

[Turahk Master of Fear]

I love country music! Yeah! I kinda like some rock, secular and christian, but I usually don't listen to it.

[KittiK]

Chris Rice Rules!
Stephen Curtis Chapman,
DC Talk
etc, etc, etc....

[Creationist2004]

I don't listen to a lot of any of them.
I don't know much Christian music, other than the hymms in church.
I like a few of the faster more joyous songs. Iam not keen on the hymms that are slow and dull. I love the fast, exciting and enjoyable Christian music. I think that the music is one of the reasons why most people my age, avoid the church. But one church that i went to while i was finding the right church for me, had drums and guitars which they played great Christian music on. I loved it! :D
I think that it is better to sing happy, fast and joyous songs to the Lord, than "dull" slow ones. Thats just my opinion though.

Anyway, back on topic. I don't listen to top of the pops or many music channels etc. I like theme tunes from games or tv series etc. Like the theme to the 10th Kingdom. "Iam wishing on a star" It has such a nice tune. I love songs which are touching and get through to me.
Though i like a lot of songs from mixed genres really. Some from secular, Some Christian and some that i have no idea about.

I really don't have a favourite. :)

[KittiK]

If I may be so bold....if you like the rock of a song and you want it to be Christian as well....try ksbj.org .

[Creationist2004]

Wow, thank you. ;)

[KittiK]

You are welcome!!
Be sure and check out LightForce! :D

[jazzbird]

I listen mainly to jazz, classical and worship.

[bloodofthelamb12]

I listen to Christian heavy metal...lol...or as close to it as ya can get
-Blindside, Skillet, Kutless, Pillar, thousandfootkrutch, etc.

[Glorianna]

I will not listen to anything but Christian music because it causes me to stumble too much. But I am a Christian music freak!

[caitlincares]

I have a very ecletical music taste.
Christian gospel, praise, hymns, country, easy listening, classical, jazz, soul.
I like most anything.
I do not care much for heavy metal or rap.

And I do not like LOUD music - it is only NOISE when it is loud.
I like to be able to listen to the words.

:clap:

[ridesawhitehorse]

Mostly classical, sacred choral and baroque style music. Mozart, Bach, Beethoven.
Then Classic rock, secular adult pop.
and the Catholic radio station

I have XM radio so I can listen to just about anything.

2 types of music I can't stand---> country, and contemporary christian..... yuk yuk yuk

[Lana]

I voted "Secular Pop/Rock" :)

[Roo6339]

i listen to christian and secular rock (every kind of rock under the sun except ska *shudders*), and heavy metal...

[msjones21]

There wasn't an option for Trance and Techno LOL but I listen to alot of Alternative Rock (much to my boyfriend's chagrin) and he got me into Progessive and Power Metal. I listen to alot of Evergrey, Edguy, Ark, etc. My all-time favorite band though is Depeche Mode.

[Messenger30]

Although I enjoy some praise and worship music mainly I listen to country western....which contains many religious songs.....Long Black Train is one of my favorites.

Love and God Bless,
Messenger

[livin'4Jesus]

What music do you listen to?
I mostly listen to Christian rock and some worship.:wave:

[The Julikenz]

i love my Christian music. i snapped all my unfruitiful cds, ppl call me crazy, but they dont understand that they were such large strongholds in my life it had to happen. Its now a witnessing example- like a baptism of my committment to exposing the stronghold. i love bands like Kutless, 12stones, Antiskeptic, Skillet, Switchfoot, thousand foot crutch, Reliant K, Pillar etc.

[rubberduckie]

yeah, I love my Christian music too. I nearly cried when I lost my Jaci Velqasquez CD "Heavenly Place" (I love that CD, and it's still lost, but God knows) but I have tons of classical, because my mom's side of the family are real musicians

[TheMainException]

I am a crazy music junkie. I am all for music and i bet that once we get to heaven there will be music all the time. The best music ever.

[Butterfly4Christ]

I love music. I mostly listen to gospel and praise and worship. Every now and then I listen to R&B and rock.

[sweetlambofgod]

Christian rock mainly, I do listen to worship music too and R&B and rock/pop, anything I can sing to :)

[PaladinGirl]

I listen to a little bit of everything including Praise and Worship, Christian Rock/Pop, Secular Pop/Rock, Country and Western, a little Classical (very little), Rap and R&B, Heavy Metal, and a little New Age stuff. I consider myself to be quite openminded when it comes to music and listen to it because I appreciate the sound of it, not necessarily the lyrics. However, some songs have great lyrics and I'll readily admit that. I actually don't listen to music much though.

[peggysue17]

i would have said christian pop/rock instead of secular, but there are no good staions around here. through my favorite gruop is skillet!!!!!!

[CZzyzx41]

I listen to a lot of music. Jazz, classical, secular rock, hymns or praise music, rap, and a lot of other things. As I grow further spiritually I find myself listening less to Metallica or music with vulgar language or lyrics and more towards music that both sounds great but doesn't take that spirit from me.

[rua2j33]

I listen to Christian radio via the net at work. On the drive home I listen to The O'Rielly Factor.

[CZzyzx41]

Yeah...mostly at work I have it tuned to byuradio.org and occasionally I'll listen to the local sports talk shows. Otherwise I very rarely listen to anything else.

[God Loves]

If I'm listening to the radio it's whatever isn't at commercials, I hate commercials. When I'm at home I usually listen to P&W music although I do enjoy most every type of music.

[Love&Pain]

I love listening to praise and worship music. I have a couple of favorite songs such as "here I am to worship", "you are my king, "all things are possible" and "trading my sorrows." I also like listening to rap or r&b as long as there isn't alot of bad words. My favorite r&b singers are Alicia Keys and Usher. ;)

[CoCoChiCa33]

You should have included Christian rap in this poll... Grits!! lol but other than that I'm all for p&w like Hillsong, Karen Wheaton, Lakewood, etc...

*Danielle*

[cat has felt the light!]

I listen to most of those!!!
C@ xx

[schwarzes_schaf]

i listen to christian rock, worship and secular rock

[twosteppin]

listen to secular music mostly and country/western. Some praise and worship songs are beautiful to listen to, but I love hymns.

[Telrunya]

Christian Pop is VERY uplifting. I need something like that after listening to talk radio which usually gets me worked up.

[Duv4Jesus]

I listen to Contemporary Christian, some rock n roll (not much tho - usually when I am with my Daddy) and uplifting country :)

I try to make praise and worship my lifestyle - not just a part of one part of my day :)

[Skymon]

Christian and secular rock, mostly.

[anastasiotrey]

we need jambands as an option! :)

[alexeeah]

In my opinion the only thing that christians should be listening to is christian music (worship or not). It's like this. If you only eat junk food you get sick. Secular music is like junkfood for your spirit. If you eat some junk food then you aren't healthy but you're not getting sick either.(As if you were only listening to christian rock) But the worship music is like the good food or the veggies of your diet.When you get enough you flourish spiritually.:idea:

[*nicholas*]

Country/Western

[Moros]

Orthodox Chants, pop/rock, (mostly from 70s/80s) various ethnic folk music like Russian and Arabic... Czech polkas... whatever floats my boat at the moment.

[NiemandheißtBoshaftigkeit]

:D Rammstein 85% of the time

[Dr Majestic]

my fav bad at the moment is franz fedinand, Kean, and Travis who I seen a few months ago, mostly scottish bands but most music blows my hair back.

[going_crazy_am_i_me2]

i listen to a bit of everything, but, its mostly secular rock/emo

[Athanasian Creed]

What music do you listen to? Is praise & worship part of your daily devotional?
I generally listen to "oldies" AM radio - love the 60's, 70's, 80's secular wise. After that, forget it. What they call music today is c-r-a-p IMHO. :D

I generally like the harder stuff Christian wise - was a real Christian metalhead in the 80's. :P

As for P & W, generally don't listen to it - too fluffy for me. The closest i get to P & W music would be to listen to the Imperials, Cathedral Quartet or Love Song who all have some great worship songs. That's about it.



Ray :wave:

[rhemarob]

I voted Christian Rock/Pop but Worship music is a close second.

[Ashlynne]

I love country
My mama used to play it in the garden when we were weeding or harvesting.
Ashlynne

[DanielJamesSimon]

I generally listen to "oldies" AM radio - love the 60's, 70's, 80's secular wise. After that, forget it. What they call music today is c-r-a-p IMHO.

I would agree with you if going by what is on the charts, but I can assure you, there is plenty of great, very good quality music today - it just doesn't make the charts very often.:)

I too am a fan of "oldies" music, 60s and 70s in particular - The Beatles, Herman's Hermits, Billy Joel, Cold Chisel, Led Zeppelin..... etc. etc. I voted only secular pop/rock and classical. I probably listen to classical more than any other genre, because I put it on to study and read, whereas I rarely listen to pop/rock when I'm studying or reading.

[Dark_Adonis]

What music do you listen to? Is praise & worship part of your daily devotional? Mainly I listen to rock, currently wearing an "Abbey Road" T-shirt..., I occassionally listen to classical. I don't listen to christian music too much though I occassionally flip past it on the radio. The reason I don't listen to Christian music too often is because I've heard the same songs for the past decade and I like a little variety.

[TheDandyMan]

What music do you listen to?
Indie (independant), synth pop, idm, sporadic sports radio (both talk shows and game braodcasts).

[Red Haze]

I mostly listen to pop/rock, also alternative and metal. I also like some random songs of other genres: rap, techno, dance, classical, video game music...

[Aimee03]

I listen to mainly praise and worship, and yes it is a part of my daily quiet time.

[faith by day]

Chrisian Pop/Rock
Christian Praise & Worship

[growingupinhim]

In my opinion the only thing that christians should be listening to is christian music (worship or not). It's like this. If you only eat junk food you get sick. Secular music is like junkfood for your spirit. If you eat some junk food then you aren't healthy but you're not getting sick either.(As if you were only listening to christian rock) But the worship music is like the good food or the veggies of your diet.When you get enough you flourish spiritually.:idea:
I agree with your statement..wholeheartely..however there are some songs that are decent lyrically/melody speaking from outside christian music..and not all christian music is christian..some is wordly/pagan masked with chrsitian lyrics...so moderation in all things is key...actually I prefer quiet..over anything or just insturmental! :)

[OhhhChung]

I listen to Trance Music everywhere except at Church, specifically in the main sanctuary where the Praise Team does their thing.

[just_dance]

My faverit is Jaci Velasquez and Zoegirl

[TheDandyMan]

I didn't vote, because I listen to a smattering of things, none of which fit the bill of anyof the options.

I delve really deep into genres at times, and I switch genres rather rapidly. Right now I'm into post-rock, especially Icelandic wonders sigur ros and mum, along with godspeed you black emporer, which is one of the monsters (big people) of the post-rock world. Aside from that, I'm into the extremely small underground Christian indie scene (starflyer 59, pony express (V---the sig), ln, map, etc.), as well as synthpop (joy electric, kraftwerk) and idm (autechre, squarepusher, pole), which both belong in the wide scope of electronica. Yes, they are all obscure.

I'm pretty passionate and pickey about my music. And I enjoy it with vigor.

[Touring3D]

Definately Christian Praise and Worship. But, I also listen to Country and Western. Not to mention talk radio. :)

Go Rush and Hannity!

[joannaberry]

Where are the HYMNS???????? ha ha!

[~Mrs. A2J~]

These days 99% of the music I listen to is Christian.

Sarah

[olsolete]

Secular pop and rock, quite a bit of jazz which my father raised me on, and tasteful heavy metal (yes yes *tasteful* heavy metal does exist)

[The "J"]

Mostly classical and instrumental.

[The "J"]

Though I do listen to some "Christian" music.

[Nevada77]

I listen to PRAISE 106.5 on the FM dial. It is full of christian pop and praise and worship.
I love it!!!


Nevada :angel:

[Bladecarver]

Talk.

[Khrissy78]

I love the worship song titled "Open the eyes of my heart Lord"...Great song!

~Open the eyes of my heart Lord, Open the eyes of my heart, I want to see you..To see you high and lifted up! Shinning in the light of your glory, Lord pour out your power and love as we sing Holy, Holy, Holy...~:clap: :amen: :clap:

[churchgoer38850]

i like that song 2 and alot of others that are good i can't think of there names right this minite:)

[Roxa]

Praise and Worship, Christian Pop/Rock, and lots of the time nothing.....It depends on my mood

[ChristianGirlNY]

I listen to any kind of music but mainly Christian Music:thumbsup:

[AdJesumPerMariam]

Christian music, but occasionally Bib Seger ;)

[shroudedcherub]

I like all music :)

[holyrokker]

Mostly Christian hard rock - like Tourniquet, Disciple, Stavesacre
I also like Christian "Classic Rock" - like Larry Norman, Darrel Mansfield, Rez Band
Really - about the only kind of music that I can't stomach is "Christian pop" music -- Point of Grace - avalon, Michael W Smith, modern "praise and worship" - stuff like that.

[Venus13]

I mainly listen to Oldies music from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Also R&B, & Gospel.

[okiemommy26]

Christian praise and worship and country

[JessLovesPugs]

I listen to a variety from praise and worship , country western, and then some other stuff , but nothing to loud and head splitting :D

[Neal]

GOOD Heavy Metal instrumentals, mostly. I can't stand screaming people... I prefer screaming guitars!! :-D

[Maeyken]

Country music all the way!!!! Although I do listen to some praise and worship music sometimes when I am in the mood for it.

[Zoomer]

I voted for secular pop/rock, country, classical, rap/R&B and heavy metal.

[kerux]

I have to mark Christian pop/rock and heavy metal since I listen mainly to Christian metal

[jangnim]

I listen to Christian Music for the most part, but my wife likes Old Timey Blue Grass. I also enjoy instrumental music. This includes jazz and classical, but is not limited to it. Music is such a spiritual thing though, so I really rarely listen to anythin not Christian.

[Lutheran444]

Heavy Metal...I find that it calms me down really. If I listen to soft music I have the urge to get up and do something...

[d-11even]

I like what church choir sings, but I only listen to them when I go to church. I listen to pop/rock and Hip Hop most in my daily life.

[bobbichan]

I listen to a lot of japanese, chinese and korean pop music in addition to Christian pop/rock and secular. Though right now I prefer Christian music and foreign because I'm kind of sick of the stuff they play on secular radio anymore. :P

[Hisbygrace]

I listen to Christian praise and worship mostly, but do listen to country and 60's rock and roll occasionally.

[Archangel590]

I listen to Christian rock and praise and wporship

[ninetails390]

I listen to mostly Christian pop/rock/worship...^_^ In short, a lot of Christian music. Oh, and I listen to a lot of anime theme songs, too.

[lnknprk2003]

I like to listen to christain pop,christian rock, christian heavy metal, and christian Rap

[Maplehugger]

I listen to klove.com just about 99.999% of the time. I use to listen to various other music, but I found the lyrics would remind me of my past and it would tend to bring me down... tired of being down. So I listen to "postive and encouraging" KLOVE.

[OddBeani]

Hmm, big Good Charlotte fan, some Sum 41 and Nickleback too...

Gotta love Skillet though and Jars of Clay and stuff...

[tomwakefield]

I own mainly secular pop/rock, with a few christian pop/rock bands. I enjoy listening to christian worship and sing along to it at my university Christian Union, but don't own any myself.

[sammipher]

Chrisian Pop/Rock
Christian Praise & Worship
Talk radio

[SandyLou]

Not JUST during my devotional time. . . .I listen to contemporary Christian in my car, at my office, in church, . . . . ok, in LIFE! :clap:

[Neal]

Actually, I also do like secular artists... there's just something about "Weird" Al Yankovic that just gets me... I find him absolutely hilarious, and he's been pretty clean in just about everything he's ever done. Creative mind.

And the musical talent in Jethro Tull is something else! I like their voices, especially... plus, they sing about a lot of strange things that I'm still trying to figure out...

[Zemyna]

I listen mainly to metal and folk music.

[mrsir]

christian pop/rock with the exseption of what my brother dowloads

[2Timothy2]

I am so glad you put Talk radio in the poll. :D


I do listen to contemp. Christian and praise music from time to time, but I'm not a big music person.

[apadilla]

i checked both christian pop/rock and praise and worship.

[Soulikz]

All the christian stuff...


and what about christian rap!

[* kittie *]

alternative rock.

[keirasmommy]

I prefer quiet when I have an option. My husband loves all kinds of music so I get exposed to a lot. When its just me and my daughter, I like to put on kids Sunday school music. Everything I need to know, I learned in Sunday School. "Father Abraham had many sons, I am one of them, Jesus loves me and all the children of the world, the virgin mary had a baby boy, I'm in the lords army, what a friend I have in Jesus, i've got the joy, joy, joy,joy, down in my heart and I need to rise and shine and give God the glory glory." Its important to me to remind myself of these things on a regular basis.

Suday school music wasn't on the list but I'm sure it's the most popular among Christians with young children.

[indeep]

I'm an odd duck, I listen mainly to a mix of rock music, and classical... :P

[Kestrel25]

I listen to basically anything that i think sounds good, whatever it might be.

[Saint2be27]

Normally I listen to worship/faith...sometimes listen to Christian pop when in the mood :cool:

[gizmo03]

I am more into the secular, I like my Good Charlotte, Green Day, Maroon 5.. but I am starting to like the Heavy Metal, don't know yet what all to listen to just hearing things on the radio that I like, even tho I have no clue who's singing it or anything about the song.

[no_worries]

Christian Comtemp & Rock and some classical.. and midi soundtracks from 80's nintendo games but I didn't see that option :scratch:

[skilltroks]

i listen to classic rock and chrisitan rock.

[Lutheran444]

I am more into the secular, I like my Good Charlotte, Green Day, Maroon 5.. but I am starting to like the Heavy Metal, don't know yet what all to listen to just hearing things on the radio that I like, even tho I have no clue who's singing it or anything about the song.
I like Heavy Metal too, but I don't like it when all the main "singer" does is growl. I like him to actually "sing". Mainly I like bands like '80s Metallica, Iron Maiden, Iced Earth, Megadeth, etc....The kind of heavy metal that I dislike is stuff like Pantera, which is just not my style. It may be a little too heavy for my tastes...

[sictransitgloriamundi]

i have been struggling with this issue of musical influences and how they well...influence us.
lately i have given away or thrown out my cd's as i have found them to be a negative influence towards my journey with god. as instructed by jesus we were told to fill our hearts minds and souls with positive influences that bring us closer to him, and some music i have found lately do not do that and i find them filling me with teenage anger and jealous feelings that don't belong to me. music is powerful...david proved that with his music to saul and the psalms he wrote...the devil has seen this and realised this is a perfect tool to degrade our minds and tangle us up in contemporary sinful emotions...i pray for guidance with music.

[mcb1998au]

I have never listened to Christain music, it just doesnt do anything for me. I love older stuff, a real mixture. I love blues, classical, opera and i absolutely love Janis Joplin.

[mshupe1959]

Mostly Christian music....occasionally I will listen to oldies

[armyman]

KLOVE and nothing else...

[Jadis40]

My musical tastes are all over the place (with the exception of country :o and most of what passes as top 40 nowdays: rap, hip hop etc. That's just not my scene.)...but the vast majority of my collection is "secular". I like everything from heavy metal like Metallica (all eras, and caught them twice in concert this year) to Enya and other Celtic artists to classical composers like Bach, Beethoven and Mozart. It just depends on what type of mood I'm in. My other favorite bands are U2 and Rush.

[Veiled Viper]

You are SO right!:cool: :thumbsup:

[Kaonashi]

I listen to Heavy Metal/Death Metal mostly

[SmEaGoL!]

Where is the option for everything? :confused:

[screach77]

i listen to bands like Audio A, Mortal Treason, Pillar, Living Sacrifice, Staple, kutless, and some others their all great bands

[Wolfdragon]

Heavy Metal all the time. Used to be only secular though, now I am changing to mostly Christian Metal groups as secular is too vulgar for this aging man. I don't think I want my children listening to the junk I listen/listened to. I have a few years before I gotta worry, but, I don't want to have them hearing it.

[BibleQuizzinChika]

praise n worship all the way! I LOVE gospel choirs... they da best!! :)

[eaglex]

Can't go wrong with the classics.

[brinny]

I voted Christian Praise and Worship but I listen to other kinds of music as well (gospel,Yanni, Enya, jazz, classical).

[XxAuroraxX]

i'll listen to anything really, i'm not fussy. But i will mainly listen to acoustic music, peopel who actually have talent. (e.g. jamie cullum, norah jones, katie melua and delta goodrem). then it will go on to poeple like pink, christina aguilera and avril lavigne. then onto bands like HIM and linkin park. quite a lot of different music there , i know.
i also think gospal music is realy fab, even though i'm not a christian!

[Ceccia]

NO to the "praise and worship music" question. I hate, hate, HATE generic mainstream music, and to me modern Christian music sounds painfully like generic pop/rock. But that's jsut my $o.o2...and I am a passionate art-music snob, so feel free to disregard anything I say as the rantings of a deranged soprano :P

I must say that when I want to commune with God through sacred music, there's nothing like Handel's Messiah. I especially love the aria "If God be for us, who can be against us?", and "Surely He hath borne our griefs".

As far as music in general...I love opera, classical, Celtic, klezmer, medieval/renaissance works, Eastern european/gypsy music, and most of all...operatic-pop music (sometimes referred to as classical crossover...Josh Groban-type stuff).

But there are a few exceptions to the anti-mainstream-music thing. Occasionally I do listen to Carman (:blush: ), and I like Maroon 5 and Dave Matthews.

[xxRachaelxx]

it varies wot i listen to.

i love christian singers such as stacie orrico

[ronniv]

Heyyyy, there's no option for Gospel Rap on here. :)

That would have been my selection.

[challe]

:wave: I often listening to Christian Music and Country Music !


Challe / :thumbsup:

[NickyBlade]

Casting Crowns is awesome! They have an awesome sound and a great message. :)

NickyBlade

[Fonzy]

i listen to rap.

[ALASKACHICK10]

most of them that you listed I listen to ..

[Tangi]

I listen mostly to contemporaly gospel! :amen:

[ladybug01]

I listen to most old songs, such as the Andrews Sisters, Beatles, etc. I don't really like new music (Brittany Spears and so forth). I also love Catholic music, such as Gregorian Chant, all classical music, and some modern bands, such as Crispin and Seven Sorrows. In addition, there are are many songs I enjoy from various artists, be they country, rock, or generic Christian.

[mrguitarporsche5]

I listen to alot of variety of music.

[draconus71]

The majority of what I listen to is Christian

[7x7]

17 voters checked "nothing". Im sure the possibility that atleast some of those are deaf. would any of you care to explain/elaborate? please PM me

[churchgoer38850]

i listen mostly 2 secular music but s/t i listen 2 chrictian

[Evie]

What music do you listen to? Is praise & worship part of your daily devotional?
give me Casting Crowns,Selah,Mercy Me and Christian rock music. I listen to nothing else.

[kissybug27]

Growing up I had to listen to mostly rock from the 50's and 60's till I got my own radio and would spent every saturday night in my bedroom with the door locked listening to rock. I snuck around to listen to what I wanted to most of my childhood but when I was out of the house and married I listened to country which is pretty much what I have struck with. On occassion I get tired of it and lister to rock again..........I pretty much just listen to what ever I'm in the mood for.

[pro_odeh]

I listen mainly to christian rock, but also pop and metal.. i've found so much great christian music, that i hardly listen to secular music anymore..

[prettyrose436]

i lsten to secular rock/ pop music but i aslo love christian music and country music (i listen to a lot of different styles)

[Carl Rapel]

christian anything..... classical too but i forgot to click that one... i listen to any type of music except country.. ((no offense)) Christian rap is one i listen to as well.

[chris714ndud3]

right now mostly Skillet (I love their newest album Collide)

[pro_odeh]

Yea, collide is great!

[Cordelia]

Secular rock, quite a bit of metal, the occasional pop song... I do sometimes use the better worship songs in my devotionals. They sometimes help me focus on God.

[Gods_MyHope]

I listen to country. But I also listen to western gospel music, which is all country.

[knownbeforetime]

Tough poll question since I have a little bit of everything in my collection. Really, from sermons to heavy metal (nothing to heavy :)). But mainly Christian rock, modern praise and worship, I listen to hymns (which wasn't an answer in the poll :mad: ), I also have a sizeable collection of classical music (whatever my choir is singing).

[Christian Singer 84]

I listen to Christian Pop/Rock mostly like Relient K, Switchfoot, and groups like that.

[HotRhymez]

I like secular rap music

[Bemiah_Angel]

Definetlt christian pop/rock!

[PandaBear]

I listen to pretty much anything, unless the lyrics blatantly bug me, but I only voted for six of the genres listed, because I listen to them more often.

Isn't this an interesting reply? Okay, primarily I do listen to secular music, in the pop and rock and heavy metal and jazz realms. But I do listen to Christian music as well. I don't hear that as often, but I like it a lot.

[anna9559]

Christian Praise & Worship for me!

[faller_g]

pop/ rock christian and non!

[sjpianoprincess]

I listen mainly to Christian rock/pop.

[jbgordon]

I definately listen to a lot of christian rock, more so than anything.

[ralrachaan]

I listen to...
- Christian Rock (Relient K all the way dude!)
- Praise/Worship (Phillips Craig and Dean, Gospel)
- Classical (Celtic, Bethoven)
- Some mild secular rock (i.e. beach boys)

[ClaireZ]

Classic Rock

[die2live]

I prefer Christian Pop/rock and praise and worship. But I don't generally like praise and worship as listening to. I like it in a group setting. It seems to mean more.

[cinni]

i listen to christian worshipduring devotionals such as hillsongs, don moen, brian doerkson, etc

[chaplainjared]

Hillsong P&W is fantastic
