How often do you listen to Christian music?

[Droobie]

Are you a Christian music junkie? Is the only time you hear Christian music at church?

[Project 86]

Since no one else has comments I'll post. There is a ton of good, talented Christian music out there. Check out a Family Christian store. Some people have this false idea that it's "borning". Even though I don't think worship music is boring I like heavier faster paced things that really get my fired up for God. Give me a little E.SO, Project 86 or something like that. :)

[LouisBooth]

Just went to a third day concert this past weekend..it rocked!

[AndiLynn]

I said most of the time, cause it's not all I listen to, but I don't hear it only at church either...I'd say it's probably more 50/50, but also depends on my mood. There's just times all I want to do is listen to praise music and sing along :)

[solo66 man]

It is the only music that does nto ever corrupt.

[SenseiPiccolo]

Just as one must feed the body with healthy food to grow lean and athletic-- so must one listen/read/speak/think upon Chirst and His goodness for their soul/spirit to grow stronger
:)

[Mandy]

I agree with you Sensei!

[ChrisA]

It depends on my mood. Some weeks i listen to only christian music other times i listen to christian music a little bit and more country that week. Like right now i been switching between christian and country music.

[DeleseRose]

I listen 2 christian music most of the time. I love it. Music comes with 2 presence either GOD'S presence or the devil's presence whether u agree with me or not. Either Christ or the defeated devil. I love the different styles of christian music rap hiphop reggae .

[dinkime]

i listen to christian most of the time. it is what i listen to when i am home & in my room. about 60% of the time i listen to it in the car, but we do not have a good christian music station in my town, so i cant listen to it that often in the car. :(

[Judy B.]

I had made a concious choice about two years ago to listen only to Christian music.As I grow in the Lord,I want to be more pleasing to Him and so I feel I should listen to music that only glorifies Jesus and not man.My favorite(glad you asked!);) is 4HIM. I also love praise and worship music.

[tuffy]

I listen to music when I take breaks from the computer. :cool:

[tyler4588]

It's pretty much the only music I choose to listen to...Although sometimes secular music is playing at places I can't control.

[seebs]

How do I decide whether a given piece of music is "Christian" or not? Is Bach organ music Christian? How about Metallica's _Creeping Death_, a song about the angel of death part of Exodus?

This is too hard to answer.

I do not listen to any music simply because it's got a label on it saying "We Like God". I think that all good music is part of God's glory.

[renee67]

Any Twila Paris fans here?

[bonkers]

Who is Twila Paris? Anyone else here like Jump5?

[Lazarus]

99.998% of the time I'm listening to Christian Music. I love Contemporary Worship Music, like Music from the Vineyard. I also can't get enough of P.O.D., and Pillar.

[Kkisjjang]

Nowadays, I am all into christian musics.

Secular music is dead for me since my high school year.
But I still hear some good rock and dance music.

[HGOtis]

I love Christian Music and for the most part it is all I listen to. The only time I listen to secular music is when my husband is in the car. But I try to get it past him when I can. I love Third Day. They are the best.
Also love:
Audio Adrenaline
Newsboys
Sonicflood
Jars of Clay
Fusebox
Jennifer Knapp
Rebecca St. James
and there are many, many more that I cant think of right now.

[Sinister]

I listen to Christian Music but no more than any other type of music... or no less for that matter. Each type of music has it's place and purpose. Though I admit I enjoy worshipping God and you can't do that with any other type of music

[sunshine]

I used to listen to mainly Christian music, as my parents were really strict about it. but now, I listen to mainly secular, and I enjoy it. I think that there's a lot of good stuff out there, you just have to watch lyrics and content. I know I should get back into listening to more Christian stuff though. It's true that what you listen (lots of exposure) to affects how you think in the long run.

[The Theory]

For the longest time I listened to only Christian music. However, as I grew more honest with myself, I realized that a lot of Christian music is NOT honest. Bands put out p&w cds because they can make more money that way. Bands utter the name "Jesus" in their songs because the record label won't release the cd otherwise. It's all about the money. fame and money come cheap in the christian music industry.

So I started listening to secular stuff to. At least it is honest and talking about everyday struggle and doubts. Sure there are some songs to skip, but what's new?

peace.
::Mostly Harmless::

[pace]

Define Christian music. I listen to composers like Bach all the time, and they made music by God and for God. It's definately christian music. But I don't just listen to classical though :cool:

[The Theory]

ok... I was refering more to the contemporary... i.e. not classical... stuff... The christian music industry and labels... such as Word and Forefront and all that jazz...

yeah, I'm all for bach.

::Mostly Harmless::

[Martin]

Worship music - most days
Other Christian music - hardly ever

[Autumn]

I listen to Christian music. I used to only listen to secular, but then I realized that it only brought me down and provoked feelings that didn't glorify God. In all I do I want to do the will of my Father. Listening to secular music really brings me down. I don't like listening to Christian bands that mimic secular styles either. I think their entire motivation should be on God, not making music that sounds identical to secular just with different lyrics. It isn't just the lyrics that are bad, but the mood they pull out of me. I love worship music!!

[lisa03wilson]

I'm just starting to get into the whole christian music thing. I have 4 or 5 cd's, but there's no good radio station around me so I pretty much have to trust my friends when they tell me a cd is good because I usually don't hear any of the songs until I buy it. :)

[Superman53142]

I listen to Christian music pretty much exclusively. As for those who don't have a good Christian station near them (I don't; Chicago's 106.7 plays all pop; except for the occasional "Breathe"), Spinner.com has an excellent Modern Christian internet radio "channel." I have cable modem, so I don't have any problems with it cutting out and such. Anyway, here's a link to that :)

[jimigold]

I absolutley love Christian music!!
I'm in a small band in our church (i play the piano) which is good coz i'm doing what i love.

I really like the nice 'chillout' relaxed music especially, not so much bands like Delirious. I have a set of Cd's called "Songs4Worship" and they are filled with some gr8 songs.

Actually i've lent them to someone and i am starting to feel it. I think the best thing in the world is to relax in bed (maybe before you go to bed) listening to Music that really praises God.
*hums well known tune*
Just humming it makes me want to hug someone so: :hug: Aaaah.

[mld3three]

I think its great that they have Christian music in almost every style. Most male non-Christian teens for example would not want to listen to praise music, but they will listen to P.O.D. or Pillar. Christian music is great. I listen to everything from Jaci Velasquez, to Newsboys, to Pillar.

[Chris†opher Paul]

I listen to POD all day at work. They rock!

Also looking for more rock/rap type Christians bands.

[BK]

I try to only listen to Christian music and teaching tapes. The only time I'm exposed to secular music is at work. Unfortunately that's the majority of the time. I pray for the Godless Heathens that I work with....

[Joyce]

It is the only music I listen to.

[Autumn]

I have the POD CD, and I was listening to it. I just think that they blend in too much with normal secular music. Even their music videos are like that.

I was kind of disapointed.

[Project 86]

If you like P.O.D. you really should check out Pillar's new CD Fireproof. It's great musically and sends a very good message in every song. I think Pillar is showing that pure Christian music can outdo what's out there in the secular world.

[Project 86]

I might as well list some more music by genre of style.

Alternative Rock:
P.O.D., Pillar, Thousand Foot Krutch, E.SO, CR33, Pax 217, Toby Mac

Metal:
Eternal Decision, Disciple, Spoken, East West, Project 86

Hip Hop:
Cross Movement, Grits, T-Bone (newest CD is great), Pettidee, Ill Harmonics, John Reuben

Punk:
Dogwood, Reliant K (more of a Blink 182 style punk), Hangnail

I could list plenty more bands I enjoy but I have to eat lunch!

[servingtheking]

I'd have to go with junkie on this one

[Darwin RULEZ]

Personally, the only time I want someone playing Christian music for me is at my funeral, since im dead and won't care that is so slow and boring. My favorite bands include EyeHateGod, Godsmack, Slayer, Slipknot, Cannibal Corpse, Megadeth, Mushroomhead, and especially ABBA. I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but Christian music offends my ears.

[favored_one]

I listen to gospel music most of the time. My husband is a musician and listens to all types of music. When we are together, it is sometimes hard to avoid listening to secular music. I try to listen to positive, encouraging music and sermons whenever possible.  :)

[music punk04]

It's the only music I listen to. :) 

[TruelightUK]

There isn't a box for "quite a lot, but not exclusively"!

[mistertee49]

Love contempory and southern gospel. It keeps the mind clean. ;)

[KristiXP]

I listen to a lot of christian music. Right now I'm listening to Mark Shultz: When You Come Home.

Tomorrow my bf and I are going to a Rebecca Saint James concert!!

[jko]

almost all the time, when im in the car, i have it on the christian contemporary station, and if a song is on that i dont like, i flip thorugh the secular stations-usually nothing good on those stations, so I put in my misc christian song cds...

[rideoflife]

i alternate between christian and country

[joyjoy]

I always listen to either a christian artist on cd in my car or the local christian radio station.
i can't stand most of the secular stuff. Its depressing or degrading.
I don't have time for that... and most of all I don't want my kids to hear that junk!

[D-Lyte]

I listen to Christian music quite often. One of my all time fav is "Awesome God." However, I prefer singing Christian songs over listening to it. After all, many songs are meant to be praising the Lord. :clap:

[AnnMercy2]

It's the only thing besides God himself that keeps me sane while at work. I'm a smoker and that part of the break room is known for the bad language and crude jokes so to block all that out I bring along my portable CD player and listen to my music. My favorite is Jaci Velasquez, Crystal Clear. I looooove it :clap:

Anna

[l33tace]

I use to listen to bands like Suicidal Tendencies and Decendants when I was a wee pup but it only brought me down. I got so into that stuff and it was just a trap I know now. Since I was 20 I've only listened to Christian oriented music and have been involved in the music ministry and I've never missed that old stuff once I got the lyrics out of me skull.

[shout2thelord]

I only listen to worship music - i dont need anything else. I find other music empty and just want something that will bring me closer to God. I just dont like anything secular in terms of entertainment at the minute.

[* kittie *]

half the time?

[Jones]

Oh yea!!! There are some jamin christian bands out there from country to worship to heavy metal!
Some examples: MercyMe,Rebecca Stjames,POD,Pillar,Michael W. Smith.
Just to name a few, if you havent heard any of these groups give em a try you never know they might catch your heart, they did mine!

[sklippstein]

i listen to Christian music most of the time, but do listen to other music as well.

[Willi_4_Christ]

Christian music would have to be the only music i listen to, well if not the only at least 99.9% of the music i listen to. There is such i wide range of christian music out there that everybody's taste in music should be satisfied, i mean you've got rap, rock, worship, heavy metal, reggae, the list goes on. 'Big ups' for Christian music, keep up the good work dudes!!

[SonWorshipper]

I used to listen and play Big Band music and Jazz, now mostly praise and worship, Mostly Messianic though!

[his-girl]

I listen to Christian Music everytime I'm in the car. I love it!

[EJO]

I listen to christian music mostly al the time. But I do own some secular stuff.
The majority of it it christian- good christian music, not bad stuff...
:)

[Clytie]

CONSTANTLY...and if Im not... Im usually humming it :D

[hotknikkels]

Heheheheheheheh - please someone define good christian music??? Joking!!!

Anyway, this is my first post so HI!!!!

I love all music, but me into HipHop, breaks, beats, even some rock and I loooovvvveeeee Worship (even though all Christian music is worship - but y'all know what I mean???)

I like secular stuff aswell - but depends - ya see that God created music - was like his idea - but some secular content is whack - be careful!!!

[linda4jesus]

I love Christian Rock....Mercyme, Rebecca St. James, Stephen Chapman, Jesus Freak, Nicole Nordeman, Clay Jars, DC Talks, etc.

[Blade]

All the time! I like Musicmatch has great christian music at cd sound...

[hotknikkels]

I listen to christian music most of the time - esp. Christian hip hop and breaks and stuff like that!!!! Then rock and other things aswell. I occasionally dip into my secular selection - but I have so much good christian stuff (over a few thousand albums - about 4000 actually!!!) that it ain't a prob finding christian stuff to listen too... I got too much time on my hands!!! Well I do drive a lot!!!

[GospelMan]

I listen to Christian music a ton, but i still squeeze in some country here and there. I like Christian alternative music (38th Parallel, Kutless, Relient K, etc.) and some contemporary stuff too.

[Glenn316]

I used to listen to Christian music all the time on the radio, then they sold the station :cry:

 Now I listen mostly to and from work. We're on the fringe of another station, but I can only get it in my truck. When I'm at home I'm often on the computer, and there's no stereo in that room

[catholic_sweetie15]

I dont listen 2 it that much but lately I have been,Last night I went 2 a Brothers Keeper concert last they r really good!! Has ne bout else been 2 one of their concerts??they rock!!!~and they r pretty cute 2!!~lol~but ne ways hope every1 had a great v-day!!!!!

If you are on the computer you could listen to Christian music on the radios???

[life_boy]

I don't like the majority of it, but then again there is some good stuff out there (Waterdeep, Starflyer 59) but I'd say I don't listen to it very often.

[MetalBlade]

I went with most of the time, becuase it was the closest to what I acutally do. If you mean christian music like heavy metal then yeah. But I also play guitar for a worship service at my church. It's all contemporary!

[healthwoman]

I don't really like it. The music's so lame. The words are ok most of the time. But I like harder rock.

[christiancaguy23]

I listen to Christian Music and Country music. The only time I really listen to anything else is when my non-saved friends are around and they have control of the playlist.

[WorshipTheLamb]

I really dont listen to any type of music so I guess just at church and when I watch church on tv but I own no cd or nothing.

[hotknikkels]

why? I mean why don't you listen to music? it is so cool (mmmm.. depending on what music!)

[biblthmp]

I only like Christian contemporary music on the radio, but will tolerate Southern Gospel, if Christian contemporary is not available.

[hotknikkels]

contemp, what is that??? :P

Just went to a third day concert this past weekend..it rocked!




Third Day is just about the best band out there right now. (IMO)

Their music is all about Him. They don't hide anything. I like that. :clap:

[hotknikkels]

bit bias??? I don't think they are the best, but they are good :P

[rssllue]

It has changed my life and communion with God so much to only be edified by music produced by believers. God has blessed so many people with such talent musically, and I am extremely glad that Christians have been using those talents for glorifying God and uplifting their brothers and sisters in Christ! Praise God for Christian music!

[rssllue]

oh, and third day is definetely top 3 of all bands out there!

[Casgeroth]

I listen to a lot of music.
But very little of it is christian music.
I have a fairly wide range of taste in music, but then again it's also narrow in what I like.
I think there is only one christian band that I actually like the music of, that band is Skillet.
Some of the guys at our church have started their own band, and I like their stuff, but they have a fair way to go yet :)

[Konnie]

I listen to it only at church.

[SoccerAaron]

Most of the time. I'm not allowed listening to most good secular.

[Dr. Jeep]

I have my truck radio on local christian station & my aol radio playing.

[Cobalt Blue]

I very rarely listen to Christain music, usually only at church/bibal study or when my Mom has it on. It's not that I don't like it, it's just not my personal preference. Most of the time I am either listening to Classical or Eminem, weird combination, I know, but well :P

[JTFORJESUS]

i love christian music all i can listen to is christian music it rocks. live out loud is my fav song

[*Jessica*]

I like christian pop mostly. I might listen to celine dion or some country every now and then.

[DJ B.K.]

I listen to christian music most of the time.

My favorite christian artists are: P.O.D., Deepspace 5, Mars Ill, Pillar, Blindside, 12 Stones, Listener

My favorite secular artists are: Jurassic 5, Queens Of The Stone Age, Foo Fighters, The Hives, Talib Kweli, Red Hot Chili Peppers

[Extirpated Wildlife]

I don't get the new music in Christian music. But the stuff of the oldtimers is good. Rich Mullins, Keith Green, Michael Card, Michael W. Smith and so on.

[Soulwings]

I listen to Christian music most of the time, but I also listen to classical and old groups like Simon & Garfunkle, Wishbone Ash, etc. :)

[stephen1964]

I'm 50/50; but it kind of depends on my mood. I get something different from Christian music than I do from secular music. It's a kind of worship for me. But I still like good secular music too (especially indie, alt-country and bluegrass)

[Hollypop]

i listen to mostly Praise and worship music. plus i like contempary christian, and ska. My fave is probably third day. you cant go wrong with them. i also like the supertones... but only their old stuff.

[Kirisutokyoo-shinja]

Most of the time.

[GlowingFirefly]

I had to put down that I only listen to it at church. Which is true, however I would listen to it more if I actually had some at my house to listen to. :D I need some more good Christian music.

[ngkingchi]

I listen to christian music most of the time, I sing it myself , this is just like praying, it helps me memorize bible verses better too

[bop1997]

WOW this used to be one of those things I had to change. When I became saved I changed in every aspect(eventually, simply because I did not want to give up everything). Now it is one of the factors that feeds my soul as well as the bible and fellowship!

[NotAshamed911]

It's ALL I listen to!!

[RickiAnn]

I had to put down that I only listen to it at church. Which is true, however I would listen to it more if I actually had some at my house to listen to. :D I need some more good Christian music.

Here's my list of GOOD christian music:
DC Talk
Tait
Toby Mac
38th Parallel
Pillar
John Reuben
Relient K
Sanctus Real
Rock & Roll Worship Circus

that's all I can think of at the moment. . email me for more??

[Multi-Elis]

There's alot of wonderful stuff out there in Christian music and alot of ... what can I call it without being mean...

[CeCe]

Everyday. I'm listening to it right now.

"You Are So Good to Me"

[Doubledb]

Well i said i only listin to Christian music, but there is one band i litsin too and im not sure. They are a group called 12 stones. Besides that i only listin to Christian music. Its not because i feel obligated or whatever but becuase i just dont get anything out of secualr music. i know it isnt all bad, that it isnt all telling people to go and sin sin sin..lol...but i gtet a filling from Chrisitan music. Whether it is bringing me before the throne of God or someone who understands the Christian struggle like i do. God is Lord and listing to music that praises Him helps me keep that on my mind.

:clap:

These are the bands i listin too: Disciple, Pillar, DC TALK, Delirious, Tree63, Third Day:Offerings of Worship, Newsboys, Audio Adrenaline, Passion/ Chris Tomlin, Enter the worship Circle, The Waiting, Skillet,Smalltown Poets, and '12 Stones'.

:clap:

[TrinityHerself]

I used to only listen to Christian music -
but then I went to college and now only listen to secular music....amazingly, I didn't start killing people, etc.! And this stuff is really good! Some Christian bands are good, but none are great. No Christian band can bring me as close to God as Creed's Higher can! :)

[Alice the Sister]

Since I go to church I guess I have to listen to it there. I try not to, though. I find most of tasteless, bland, shallow, and lame. I understand it has a good purpose, but....

[RevKidd]

I enjoy good christian music. But being a product of the 80's I still like to listen to some of the "Classic Stadium Rock". You know, Journey, Boston, Bon Jovi, Stix. Nothing real heavy or pounding. I wish there was more of that sound is christian music.

[The Goodly Knight]

I love Gregorian Chant, I always have.

[JesseB.]

It's the only music I listen to. I'm very fond of KTIS.fm...

[hotknikkels]

can you listen to KTIS.fm on the internet?

[kdet]

My sons and I listen to praise music first thing in the mornings.

[silas]

Actually my radio listening is pretty evenly divided between our Christian station (which itself is divided between music, news, sermons & other related discussions), a jazz station & our local NPR network. I do have a few Gospel CDs and some Christian music on my PC.

In Christ,

Silas

[Snowy]

I'm getting more and more into it and away from the bad music I listen to

[JesseB.]

Actually,
I don't listen to CCM or any Christian music. I tend to lean towards New Age music & Rock 'N' Roll.

[GodBoy809]

i listen to christian music a good majority of the time.

[JesseB.]

I'm a Christian music addict 100%.

[BarbB]

I listen to Christian Music only - too many favorites to mention. Before I was saved a Christian station was next to my favorite light rock and sometimes I listened to the Christian station without realizing it. The message must have sunk in!!! The Holy Spirit will no longer allow me comfort listening to Rock, PBS, and lots of other not so good things. Even most classical music unless written for the church! What a life - I love it!

[grinding_willi]

I agree. Every style that secular music has there's always, well most times, a christian counterpart. I'm a christian music freak, no doubt about it. There's so much good stuff out there that it seems pointless to listen to anything else. The music you feed yourself with can either nourish or poison i believe.

[Megachihuahua]

It's not like listening to it will make you a better Christian. I only listen to Classical and Symphony orchestras.

I think the reason people think we're wierd is those people at cincerts that wave their hands in the air, or jump up and down real fast.
Just saw Michael Jackson on the telly :eek: . Changed my mind.

[JesseB.]

I am a Jesus Freak, so naturally, I listen to CCM.

[OnenessWoman]

Christian music is the only music that is allowed in my household, car, etc. We only allow this music because it glorifies GOD and not some womans body, looks, or any other worldly thing out here. Our children love it and we love it as well.

[bigballofyarn]

Some of it is good, but I'll admit I don't exactly listen to it unless someone asks me to or if I'm at church.

[lil_one]

I listen to Christian Music some of the time...
Depending on my mood.
:pink:

[mesue]

I love Christian music. I like groups such as 4-HIM, Phillips, Craig and Dean, Susan Ashton Point of Grace. I find it edifying and reaffirming, and cool.

[27D4]

I listen to modern worship CDs about 75% of the time. Every once in a while I need a dose of classic rock or country. But nothing brings me peace like Christian music.

[Ken]

Hi all! I am a huge music lover..... been listening to smooth jazz and fusion lately, but I'd like to add some Christian artists that I like, who are in my own collection, and who I do not think have been mentioned yet, and to those who are looking for certain styles of Christian music etc, the list may be helpful, I tried in some places to compare some artists with secular bands, it doesn't mean that the band was necessarily copying the secular band, though in some cases this is probably true... its just who they personally remind of....

some are older bands/artists:
Larry Norman-- who really helped to get Christian Rock going, at one time Time magazine called him the most important song writer since Paul Simon, another early rocker was Randy Stonehill, Mark Heard who is kinda folkish in style, I absolutely love Phil Keaggy, one the world's greatest guitar players(!!), he has cd's that sound very much like the Beatles, who he was admittedly very influenced by, ie "Beatleish" sounding cd's Crimson and Blue and Sunday's Child-- , and Keaggy has numerous other styles of music, ie all instrumental stuff that would be categorized as "New Age", like his The Wind and the Wheat, as well as other brilliant mostly acoustic guitar instrumental albums like Beyond Nature, to mostly electric rock instrumental albums like 220 and On the Fly, he is truly a gifted musician, truly a genius, he must have at least 20 albums, starting out with his earliest stuff when he was with the band called Glass Harp, who opened up for bands like Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes! hos that for being dated! LOL!!..... I like Caedmon's Call (their lyrics are simply, IMHO, theologicaly the most profound!), Susan Ashton, Sixpence None the Richer, Out of the Grey, Margaret Becker, Charlie Peacock, Rich Mullins, Matthew Ward (and to a lesser extent the band The 2nd Chapter of Acts which is Matthew Ward and 2 of his sisters, they were also an early influential Christian "rock band", though we would hardly classify them as rock today), The Choir, The Lost Dogs, Bebo Norman, Wes King, Adam Again, Daniel Amos, Allies-- whose lead singer at times sounds like Sammy Hagar though musically they were not as rock- ie more popish, he eventually went solo and much mellower, his name is Bob Carlise-- whose best known song is Butterfly Kisses, Chris Rice (kinda like James Taylor), FFH, Bryan Duncan, Sweet Comfort Band (very early Christian rock/pop), The Walter Eugenes, Russ Taff, The Violet Burning, PFR (formerly Pray for Rain... turns out the name "Pray for Rain" was already copywrited so they went to simply "PFR", great stuff, sort of like The Beatles I guess, rich vocal harmonies with pop-rock music), LSU, The Waiting, Smalltown Poets, Christian reggae band Christifari, harder Christian alternative/rockers/metal bands I like are bands Guardian, Lovewar (kinda like Kings X), WhiteHeart, Believer, Delieverance, Sacred Warrior (old Ozzy-Randy Rhodes meets Ronnie James Dio), Saint (very much like Judas Priest), X-Sinner (very much like ACDC), Tourniquet, Bloodgood, Bleach, Ken Tamplin/Shout, Barren Cross, Bride, The Daniel Band, The Crucified, Siloam, Holy Soldier (kinda like Def Lepperd), Whitecross (like the 80's metal band Ratt), Hocus Pick, One Bad Pig, Rage of Angels (kinda like Motley Crue), The Ressurection Band (or sometimes called "Rez Band", who is another pioneering Christian rock band of the 70's), Mad At The World, Seventy-Sevens, Big Tent Revival (kinda like Tom Petty), ska band The Channelsurfers; Christian jazz/instrumentalists Abraham Laboriel and Justo Almario, jazz fusion band Koionia, smooth jazz guitarist Jack Jezzro, there is a number of instrumental jazz albums out under the "Brentwood" label, the Larry Ariota Trio, another band is called simply The Jazz Trio, there is Christian Big Band artist Denver and the Mile High Orchestra, Sinatra style Christian jazz artist Jason and the G-Men, blues players Darrell Mansfield, Larry Howard, Glen Kaiser, Chris Lizotte and Soul Motion (somewhat Texas Blues a la Stevie Ray Vaughn), really ethereal celtic worship from Clannad member/lead singer Marie Brennan, some great R&B is early Bebe and Cece Winans, Billy and Sarah Gaines, more recent R&B/Pop is amazing vocalist Crystal Lewis, and also the band Out of Eden....

well this is I think most of what I have in my collection.... mostly off the top of my head though, and this is not counting the stuff that I have on vinyl, can't recall all of that stuff since I haven't gotten any of it out for some time now... though I should, come to think of it!! LOL!

[Ken]

BTW, fyi, Philips, Craig and Dean are, I believe, members of the United Pentecostal Denomination, which means they deny the Trinity, so I boycott/do not support their music for that reason.....

[EnterHisgateswithpraise]

I like listening to music ,making music unto the Lord is much better ,and it honours God much.We dont even have to be good at it God will receive it ,even if all others tune us out.Well we dont want to offend others ,so maybe just solo alone is a good Idea. It works.

[tholian]

i like lotsa music i listen to many bands... mostly harder stuff like rock/alternative/metal/industrial and some hard techno... btw most people criticize POD and say that they are secular and non christianly but a lil' while ago my dad saw them on a late night show and they gave their testimony, they tour with secular bands yes but they do have some lyrics that point fans of these bands to God and last they just recently "departed" their guitarist due to the fact he was not christian and also that he was working with some side projects without the consent of the rest of the band or record company or label or something... haha sorry i dont have it totally 100% straight... plus for those people who are anti-hard-christian music you can believe what you want but i firmly believe that when i go to heaven God will not say "I am dissapointed in you for listening to music that worships and loves me because it is harder then what your parents generation is use to" because trully i believe that if it is beautiful and does not say things that are against what He wills or He Himself then it honours Him... so i say phh i wont ever probably be on this site ever again because im too busy with my studies so if u try to respond to it dont direct it to me cos u wont get a response... may God always bless you and keep you

[tholian]

oh and the last thing there are many references to music in the bible yes i've heard people on this site say that since there is no reference in the New Testement of instruments but goodness so does that means that everything in the OT is trash NO WAY it is STILL GOD'S WORD and GOD'S word will always be true. He did change SOME laws when He sent Himself down to earth as a human but thats because the situation changed slightly... i guess i might as well be quit it and leave it for the theoligians to debate it... who am i just some 17 male looking for a beautiful God loving female ;) haha.... lataz... oh and ps the acustic guitar and the classical piano were both forbiden from the church at one time

[Cragg]

I have all my CD's copied onto my computer, and I have one giant playlist on Windows Media Player, randomised... hit play and hey presto... a nice mix of Christian and non-Christian music.

I dont like the way that many people segregate Christian music from other music.. its all music! mix it! http://www.christianforums.com/images/smilies/clap.gif

Garbage in, garbage out. Christian music is so awesome and has such an awesome message!

[HisJavajunkie]

I enjoy Christian Rock a majority of the time. DC Talk, PFR and Russ Taff are just a few.
Then there are times when I want to listen to 'oldies Rock and Roll

[mpfinegan]

I love christian music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111

[bluetulipbutterfly]

I only listen to christian music
sow to the spirit and reap the spirit

[RED that's ME]

I listen to my Christian CD's everyday or radio

[SpiritLed]

My ipod is chalk full of about 1100 christian songs playing as we speak

[dbaryl]

I only listen to Christian music, and my car's tuner is always on a Christian station. As mentioned countless times before, there's a lot of great stuff at the local Christian store :)

I like praise and worship CDs like the different WOW collections and Michael W. Smith, but also other bands, depending on the mood. Nothing like some good christian music to start a day (on top of prayer and daily reading of the Bible, of course!) :)

[LadyBird]

I listen to it whenever I have the chance to. I love christian music!

[Wollstonecraft]

I haven't listened to any in some time.
I used to listen to Christian radio a whole lot, and shopped in the christian music store, but so much was sounding the same. Maybe it's time I gave it another chance.

[caffeinefree]

I'm constantly listening to blisse, Pax 217, the Benjamin Gate, Delirious?, Sycamore, Chris Rice, P.O.D.and anything else that goes through either AOL radio (modern christian station) or The Torch on XM radio. I listen to rap/rock that isn't christian too though, but it's got to have a message I'm OK with. nothing thats hateful towards any other group.

[<><beckie><>]

I always listen to Christian music, it's the only music I listen to! The christian radio station is the only station my radio can pick up, which is a really good thing!!

[A Taffer]

I usually listen to it on sunday at church. Other than that it depends on my mood. At least once a week with my mp3's :)

[MikeMcK]

Other than Randy Stonehill and Peter Mayer's two Gospel albums, virtually never.

[~*Prayer GrrL*~]

Most of the time, but not all the time.

[Kathy]

Sad to say very rarely.....Think I'll start listening more now..... :)

[SuperTrooper]

This hits home pretty closely. See, when I was stationed in Germany, I was assigned to live with a roomate that was very very much the opposite of myself. He drank (did drugs) listen to the heaviest of metal music(his choice of clothes showed it and often said it.) and hated R&B/hip hop. I of course was his opposite. To make a long story short after 2 years of living togther...we became the best of friends. Worked togther, hung out ALL the time and even worked everyday together. He even started dressing more casual and clean cut. He started listening and enjoying RB and hiphop and (this is where the relivance to this reply answers the orginal question of the thread) even started to listen to Michael W. Smith. My absolute favorite artist. Therefore I can't listen to him as much as I would like to cause it makes me remember those good times I use to have and now those times are a part of my past and it saddens me.

[gibbo]

i like christan music. and i'm not talkin about hymes or stuff that brings you down, i'm talkin about bands like "P.O.D", "the kry" and "38th parallel". some hevey rock that lifts up god but is also great for blowin up you cd player. dont get me wrong, hillsong is cool and planetshakers rock! but now and then you just wanna lie on your bed, turn up your player up to max and just chill. (and in answer to the question, um... alot i guess.)

[Marissa]

I bought my first christian Cd's yesterday. One by Stephen Curtis Chapman, one vineyard praise and worship and one by Slim Dusty.

They're not bad, but I can't see myself switching to the Christian radio station anytime soon.

[princess heart]

I love my Christian radio stations. I am blessed to have two good ones available. One is WBGL and the other it KLOVE... both can be listened to online.

[180degrees]

i listen to Christian music all the time! i even listen to it befor i go to bed! It helps me sleep. you should try it. Just keep it on until your about to fall asleep or keep it on all night! You probably will have a great nights sleep!

[Wolflily]

Almost every day, but sometimes I need a break and I like to listen to what other kinds of people have to say about other kinds of subjects.

[KateBeckinsaleAdmirer]

It goes in streaks.

[jive]

not the only music i listen too, but i listen to all the time.

[heathernicole]

I used to listen every once in awhile but then I realized how much other types of music were damaging me and i started to cut them out completely. Now I only listen to Christian music and I am so much happier!! :)

[AtlantaFest04]

Well I listen to P.O.D.,Blindside,Project 86,Audio A,NewSong,and Third Day. I like the faster paced Christian rock music :) Not all the time, but a good bit

[heathernicole]

i try not to discriminate differant types, it just depends on my mood. but the message is what is important to me.

[ps139]

I did not vote because "sometimes" is not an option.

[HesMyAll]

I love listening to music that praises God so I only listen to Christian music. I used to listen to a lot of secular music but I really don't miss it at all.

[Newly Blessed]

I'm a Christian music junkie. I'd say I probably listen to it 95% of the time in the car and it's the only music I listen to at home.

[superbear02]

Its the best, there is such a variety and it gets your focus on the right place (God)

[KarateJack]

I can't get into much Christian music. Dunno why.

[gibbo]

It goes in streaks.

why? :cool:

[Mitch]

I have christian radio stations on all day all night

[sklucas]

What about someone who says they are Christian,such as Amy Grant?
Then she goes pop and commits adultery
Do you still listen to the old stuff?

[prince didymus]

My listening to Christian music ranges from very little to not at all.

[GinooKo]

I love all Tom Booth!!

[sammipher]

I love christian music...my husband and I are big fans of mercyme...I also like the hymms we sing at church so I have a few tapes of those as well. The passions soundtrack is good also..has no words but i like the music.

[TrustNo1]

i love christian music. i dont listen to it all the time because it can get boring so i listen to techno or rap but if a christian song is played i love it and listen to it then i go and listen to more music until im bored :P

[Glorianna]

I love music, but secular music causes me to stumble, so I only listen to Christian music!

[mle]

Every day. If I don't listen to it I will sing it!!

[jeshohaia]

I wouldnt listen to any other music. This music is awsome and gives me an excuse to always sing about the LORD! :D

[Niko]

I HATE CHRISTIAN MUSIC!!!

Although I like Gregorian Chant and Monk Chant and stuff like that

[Roxa]

I listen to it most of the time since I don't own any other music and the radio music is just horrid with too much cussing

[AgnosticFreeThinker]

Modern Christian music? Horrible. Old/ancient Christian music? I listen to it all the time, a vast majority of music from the Baroque times and earlier was religious.

And you might want to repond to my poll at http://www.christianforums.com/t117595 , it's related ;)

[KristianJ]

Most of the time for me. I'll always have Winamp on when I'm on my computer since I'm out of power outlets in my room at the moment, and I've backed up most of my music and there's a mix of both Christian and secular music.

[abeautifuldeath]

i voted "Yuck! i HATE it!" because i do...

[awksm]

christian music is good... great... the greatest thing in the music business...

[Bladecarver]

When listening to music, I have Christian. When I work in my yard or play in the garage, I jam to POD, Pillar, Toby Mac, T-Bone. :D

[Church Punk]

I am a Rocker all the way!! Who would you say are your top 5 favorites?

[alfcantor]

I cant say its the only music I listen to or that I only hear it in church cuz Im a DJ aat a local Christian Radio Station and I also love to listen to an online station called Shoutlast.com. I enjoy country and jazz here and there and (ill admit it) I even listen to some Metal too. I focus on the message and so I dont stick with one artist all the time cuz not all the secular lyrics out there are good. There are a ton of talented Christian ones out there though like Skillet, Switchfoot, Stacie Orrico, POD and Thirdday to name only a few. :)

[alfcantor]

My top 5 fav's are DC Talk, Skillet, Thirdday, Pillar, and Kutless.

[LaurelTree]

I listen to christian music and classical, I love Amy grant, Michael W. Smith, Margerette Becker,POint Of Grace,My ultimate favorite is Mercyme: I can only imagine...........

[happyinhisgrace]

I have more Christian music and Christian sermon cd's than any other type of cd. I think I would go nuts without my Christian music. When I am not listening to it, I am singing it....I am a christian music junkie.

What I think is totally great is that my children would rather listen to Christian music than other kinds of music also. They also like musicals....our favorite is Joseph and Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, I suppose that is our favorite because it comes from a Bible story.

I personally think the best Christian music songs are the ones that come from the Pslams. There are so many good ones of those.

God Bless,
Grace

[JesusFollowerTtE]

I love Christian music, it really gets me in the mood to praise God. My favorite christian band would most likely be Five Iron Frenzy. I also like Third Day, Greed, Newsboys and thats the only off the top of my head.
I really encouage people to listin to Christian music because I even know some people that God speaks to them through music.
Timothy

[ridesawhitehorse]

The only christian music I listen to is sacred choral music, or classical music of the church.
Pop christian music is garbage IMHO.

[JSTARR]

I MOSTLY LISTEN TO CHRISTIAN MUSIC I LIKE CASTING CROWNS AND NEWS BOYS AND LOTS OTHERS

[G4M5Y5]

I voted most of the time though I would say that I probably listen to country music just as much.

[schwarzes_schaf]

i love christian music. my favorite bands are delirious, w4c and the united band :clap:

[kerux]

I mostly listen to Christian music, anything from Rich Mullins, Third Day, Project 86, Stryper, Disciple, Eternal Decision, T-Bone, and so on, I enjoy several genres of Christian music.

[emu]

I'm trying to be as subjective as possible here but Christian music can be dreadful. Unfortunately the old adage 'The Devil has all the best tunes' is correct eg. The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Wagner, Berlioz, Mozart, Marilyn Manson, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Black Sabbath (the list goes on and on) have all been linked, however tenuously, with Satan. Literature is the same too - The Brontes, Oscar Wilde, Baudelaire, Byron, Mary Shelley, and if some are to be believed J K Rowling, Phillip Pullman, and J R R Tolkien have all had accusations of satanism made. All this makes me wonder - do we tolerate those who are inspired by the devil, or do we shut these things out of our lives altogether.

[Thankful75]

I love listening to christian music. These days there are so many cool bands out there. :clap: Some of my favorites are Kutless, Skillet, Starfield and Tree 63.

[Unique]

There are so many fun and cool Christian artists out there, I will never be bored.

[guitargalmeg]

I love Christian music. Jeremy Camp is among my favorites. He rocks!

[bgoddenia]

Bless You:wave: I listen to Christian music almost everyday, on Saturday from 4 to 9, I love to worship God and dwell with the music, I Also have music that I dedicate to Him and when I hear constantly it I always start crying, and the best part of all that is feeling Him holding Me in His arms and He whispers "I Love You". I think that feeling Him and hearing his voice makes Me thirst for more of Him, making me seek Him in constant Fast and Prayer..

Looking unto Christ Who Makes Us Whole,Betsy

[caitlincares]

I have a CD player I use at work and listen to Christian music.

[RU4GVN]

I rarely listen to anything but Christian music. Ray Boltz is my absolute FAVORITE singer! :amen:

[rubberduckie]

Hmm, I don't know how to answer this poll, because more often than not I'm singing, not listening to Christian music. I listen to Christian and classical and weird songs like yellow submarine and some other "harmless" things, but usually I don't listen to music I sing. Esp. since I'm in choir, so I get choir songs stuck in my head all the time.

[violetstar]

I love Christian music. I love to listen to Crystal Lewis , Yolanda Adams , Creed, and Josh Groban the lead singer of Creed he has a awesome voice.

[Father's Child]

sadly i can't go to a church so i don't hear it there. I do have some Christian CDs. But i don't listen to them all that often. I really wish i did. I wish had lots lots of Christain musc that i loved.

[rua2j33]

I listen to KSBJ on the internet while I am at work. It really lifts my day.

[TheDandyMan]

Most of the time. During the time when it's not most of the time, it's usually vocal-less, so I don't know if that really counts.

[Angeldove97]

I have a few Christian cd's, which are mostly mixes of different groups, got a ton on my computer, and even listen to it at night on my radio. But it's not the only kind of music I listen to....I also love trance/techno and rock.

[CindyAnn]

It's all I listen to and I usually have it on at least 10 hours a day!

[violetstar]

A little evryday I decide to listen to music.

[Sheena_Va]

For the longest time I was straddling the line between worlds, so I listened to some really bad music :sigh: .
Since I rededicated my life completely a few months ago, I've been listening about 90% Christian music.... that specifically is about the Lord. The other 10% I still listen to 'worldly' music, but only that that has a positive message or that I can apply to my feelings about Him.
Many songs written to be about a love affair with a man can be translated to your love affair with God! Christina Aguellara( sp?) has a song, "I'm Everything I am Because You Loved Me" and I sing it to my Lord all the time!:clap:

[TheMainException]

I listen to Christian music almost all the time, but I do think that there are a lot of good, uplifting secular bands out there. And if you don't like Christian music, go searching, you will find something you like. Christian music is as diverse as secular music.

[aimejl]

I listen to christian music most of the time.

[haya]

Christian music is edifying.
It doesn't turn your mind away from God, like much of secular music.

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.

2 Corinthians 10:5b
We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Listening to most of the secular music out there is so.... depressing.
Why would you want your mind occupied with it?
Christian music is uplifting, encouraging, hope-filled. :clap:

[oldrooster]

The brilliance of a secular music performance can also remind that all talent comes from God.......

[Jesus-is-the-best]

It's the only music I listen to!

Now, there is a difference in "Christian Music" and hymns. I will just call both Christian Music. It's the only stuff that I listen to. In church, it’s all hymns, but at home (NOW!) I listen to Contemporary Christian, and hymns.

[Heavy_Metal_Jesus]

I cant stand it. Its all the same, how can u live listening to so much of it? There's so much better music out there.

[Centrifuge04]

I listen to a little bit of Switchfoot/DC Talk/Kutless & Addison Road everyday. But I listen to more heavy metal than anything

[lilchristiangurl]

i listen to it in the car and at home

[Moros]

Every day.

[Athanasian Creed]

Are you a Christian music junkie? Is the only time you hear Christian music at church?
I didn't vote simply because it's not the only music i listen to nor do i listen to it most of the time.

I generally listen to both secular/Christian music about equally. Some days i'll listen only to Christian music other days only secular, especially so if i'm surfin' the 'net. ;)



Ray :wave:

[going_crazy_am_i_me2]

well i listen to it sometimes... and i noticed that wasnt an option... ;) anyway i mostly listen to secular and if im in a good mood, maybe some christian...

[imtelln]

As mom, it is the only music we listen to. I also keep all the newest CDs through the music club as I am set up only to receive Christian music. I TOTALLY believe music has a powerful influence on a person, even subconsciously. I enjoy hearing my kids sing a song that is in their spirit, just naturally coming out of their mouths. Sometimes they don't even know they are singing it until I sing along. This is why I feel it is also VERY IMPORTANT to choose your music carefully, because it goes deep. WHAT YOU PUT IN IS WHAT COMES OUT. I understand satan lead worship in heaven. I also understand it is a vehicle he uses today to corrupt society. My kids know most of the songs since we ALWAYS, I mean ALWAYS have a Christian CD playing, or AIR1 preset in our cars. We love Third Day, Jeremy Camp, Crystal Lewis, Rebecca St James...I feel we have an awesome selection, and a great variety! I take them to Christian concerts so they can see the magnitude of the popularity of their favorite artists! I have never had to fight my kids in this! They actually have their own preference of what Christian bands they prefer! Thank GOD!

[JustChillun]

In our household, we listen to Christian music exclusively. The most of what I buy is Alternative, although I have an extensive collection that includes the NonPunk, Hard (on the) Rock, HipHop, and about anything serious that has hit the pike.

BTW, I am a mom and grandma, and would still rather listen to Planet Light Force and the Teen Mania praise & worship music, than to fixate into some rigid musical rut that attempts to be nonflexible in its (lack of) ability to communicate with the masses of the "World".

We do KSBJ (the online version has 3 types of music you can listen to, and I can minimize the screen and listen while I work). The kids have autographed posters and other items, and we do at least one big concert per year, such as Festival con Dios, or DC Talk.:cool: :cool: :cool:

PS: KSBJ made the #1 CCM station in the US for three years in a row, now, and they have contests which include entries for their online listeners, as well.

I really feel for all of you who don't nave a good station around you. Some stores allow you to test drive a CD or have demo trax to hear (WalMart)with their CCM CD's. God Bless all of you!

[vatuck]

I have found that Christian music keeps my attitude positive. I am more at peace and grateful. If I listen to the wrong kind of secular music, sometimes it brings me down. I happen to loooove rock music, but if I listen to someone like Stained, I find I feel really low. My mood will often reflect the tone of the music. Just because we like something doesn't mean it is good for us. I learned that the hard way.:)

[Dark_Adonis]

Are you a Christian music junkie? Is the only time you hear Christian music at church? I don't listen to Christian music enough to distinguish between various artists, but I don't restrict listening to church either, we have a station near where I live...

[DanielJamesSimon]

Unfortunately I could not vote on this poll, because my answer is neither options 1 or 2, nor options 3 or 4. I listen to Christian music as often as I listen to Kutless, Audio Adrenaline, dc Talk, Paul Colman Trio, Earthsuit, or Delirious. Among modern (rock, rock/pop, alternative) music, this would be about 1 per cent of the time (1 song per 100 songs I listen to). Considering I listen to classical music at least 50 per cent of the time I spent listening to music, it would be even less.

I do like some, but I just don't think there is enough high quality Christian music out there.

Church music is wonderful, and I enjoy performing it and singing it at church, but it is not my style to choose to listen to.:)

[wakeboardwithheart]

:cool: junkie....hee hee

[Krystina661]

I never listen to Christian music..

[LiberatedChick]

I had to vote "Yuck I hate it"...I don't actually hate it but there wasn't an option to say that I never listen to it.

[Big Mouth Nana]

There is nothing better to lift your soul out of the pit.

[stillblessed]

listen to it everyday,on the way to work,and church. my favorite is southern gospel,and the mckamey's.

[rhemarob]

52 Christians hate Christian music?

How can that be?

[archfghtr]

good stuffm great oldies of our own, but what about the rest of the world? why is this such a huge controversey if this music is sooo good for us? maybe if it was just put into a different box? it is good for you, but our music should be reflected in our life. the words we sing should also be the words we live, cause life needs us to be loud, the world needs us to be loud, for Christ. God Bless.

[jeffh]

I listen to Christian music every day at work. It really seems to help me stay focused on Christ, and avoid temptation to "go with the flow" as far as attitudes with fellow workers go. When certain songs come on, and God touches my heart with them, it's like I can stop and worship right then and there.
Jeff

[sjanae76]

Unfortunately, I only have 2 choices in Christian radio in my area. I can either listen to Christian death metal, screaming, feedback "music" on 88.7 RadioU. Oh, they also play (C)rap, which I can't stand. OR I can listen to "The River" which is all cheesy, pop, pretty, happy music- which I can only stand for about 10 minutes. Sorry, I'll stick with CD101, the alternative station and listen to music I actually like!

[tanya88]

Chrstian music lifts my spirit up. I love it!!!!!

[Key Peninsula Redneck]

I only listen to it at church.

[kwimmer]

Couldn't vote. There's no option for whenever, because that's when I listen to it whenever. It's not most of the time and it's not only at church.

[Bible Addict]

I used to listen to it a lot... but not lately :o

[pistachio42089]

I listen to it all the time! I love just about every single type of music too. One thing I like is that any type of music I want to listen to there is a Christian band/group/singer for the style. I also have 2 great christian radio stations in my city, it's great!

[faith by day]

i love music!!!!!!! hi!!!!! bye

[~Mrs. A2J~]

I listen to Christian music 99.9% of the time.

Sarah

[Kuwanyauma]

I never listen to Christian music except at church. It just doesn't interest me...

[Underdog77]

Other than Christian, the only music I listen to is Irish/Celtic

[SHOYOLUV!]

I listen to a lot of Christian Hip Hop. It's good for the soul.

[PaladinGirl]

I used to only listen to Christian music while at church but anymore, I listen to it approximately once every week or two. Really, I just listen to it whenever I feel like it which really isn't that often. I'm usually too busy doing other things. I prefer Gospel, Southern Gospel, and Praise and Worship music but some Contemporary Christian is nice too.

[little chris]

most of time!

[Mimi]

I listen to a lot of Christian Hip Hop. It's good for the soul.

hip hop?......ewwwwwwww:sick:

[OhhhChung]

No offense, but I never listen to Christian music except every Sunday in the main sanctuary where the praise team does their thing.

So my answer is Rarely.

[Love&Pain]

I listen to christian music most of the time. When I listen to it, I let the words enter my heart, I cry and talk to God. :thumbsup: There are days when I feel alone or upset and I just go in my room and listen to worship music and pray to God :crosself: I also listen to worship music on days when I feel happy or excited because the lord is working great things in my life, but all things should be done as if we were doing it for God. Worship music is one of my favorite ways to worship God :bow:

[~Lynn~]

I had to choose yuck I hate it, not because I actually hate it, but simply because I *never* listen to it and there was no option for that other than to say that I hate it. I don't hate it, its just not my style.

[Sacrifice]

When I'm not having a great day, I usually like to listen to some. It lifts me right up.

[AdJesumPerMariam]

I rearely if ever listen to anything else!

[_Zap_]

Only at church. A little bit at other times too.

[The "J"]

There's a few "Christian" bands I like to listen to fairly often. Most of the time I listen to classical and instrumental.

[tqpix]

I listen to Christian music on the radio.

[hopper]

I love all kinds of music, but really appreciate Christian lyrics.

Are you a Christian music junkie? Is the only time you hear Christian music at church?I actually didn't vote because my answer would depend on how you define "Christian" music. Give me some Bach anytime, but if you're talking about the modern pop music...I rarely listen if I have a choice. With the modern "Christian" rock, I don't think you can lump all Christian music into one genre. They have to be judged independantly.
