Is it just me or do you think that almost all Christian Rock Bands suck?

Christian rock is just another slick way that religion uses to spread  superstitious delusions to a new market and prevent  the rubes already hooked from having an original thought by being exposed to more rational people.

Yes, God made Rock n Roll for a reason. It isn't corrupted! LOL! I admit, some of the lyrics suck, but that's the people, not the music.\n\nDon't you think it's the most joyful sound ever? Makes you want to jump up and dance around........ wow!

No, but it's not a particularly imaginative genre, either.  While I'm blissfully ignorant of the current scene, the trend of "MOR" (middle of the road) acts that actually got play in the 80's and 90'on Christian Radio stations was to be musical milquetoast and about 5 years in arears of current forms.  Petra may have listened to Sting's albums, but they did precious little to become truly musically adventurous.  Add to that a general laziness of lyric writing, where long, a-rhytmic passages of theology are ripped from a King James Bible and shoehorned into a 4/4 backbeat.  There were exceptions, of course, but precious few.  Also add to that a theological content in the lyrics that's explicitly aimed at adolescents, and Christian Rock becomes something to grow out of(when I was a child, I listened to Christian Rock, but now that I have grown, I have set aside those childish things).  I refuse to "graduate" to the Gaiters or others of such ilk.

The Christian band?  I heard that one of the members was charged/conviced of sexually assulting someone and the band just kind of fell apart from there.

I've noticed this too.  In fact it's a joke in our house.  We go to the stores to try to find "Christian products" knowing that they are there.  Even the employees have a hard time telling you where they are.  \n\nFYE has a variety of music, but when it comes to "Christian" CD's their selection is stuff from 20 years ago.  \n\nI went to a music store in Toledo, and they were playing music on the intercom.  When I asked what they were playing, the man said "IONA".  It was a Christian band from the UK!  He said he liked their Celtic style.  He told me that alot of people asked who the band was, and asked to buy the CD, because they like it too, not even knowing the band was Christian.\n\nSo to answer your question, it's a marketing strategy.  They promote who they want to promote.  Very few have the guts to put out a Christian product and promote it.

bible thumpers dont like music usually and are usually just looking for something to blame for the way the world is, and heavy metal is not satans work, some may sing about satan but only some of the artists do. so thats not a good generalization. i love metal &#92;_/><&#92;_/ my fav bands are children of bodom, dimmu borgir, metallica, ensiferum, and in flames

To me, the worst bands, EASILY, post-grunge, are the Limpkin Kornbizkits. Chubby nerdy white guys, with a few tats and a backward baseball cap, doing a lame rap over a tired, simple metal riff. Uggh!!! And it took over the airwaves for years!\n   They ruined rock for a good couple years. So many great bands radio will not touch, but they'll play this monotonous monotone crap over and over and over! AAARRGGGHHHH!!!!!! I hate it SO BAD! Sorry to rant.

umm... get over it. If a Christian band's song becomes popular w/ mainstream america they are sellouts? I thought a Christian would be happy for another Christian's success. They may be sellouts but you sound like a hypocrite

I'm not familiar with that song or that group, but I would not recommend listening to such a group.  The lyrics are probably meant to be offensive to Christians and offensive to God.

Well it's all a matter of taste. I happen to think that all of the above mentioned bands happen to suck. As for R&B, you can't go wrong with the legends: Patti Labelle, Diana Ross, B.B. King, etc. In my opinion, most mainstream music lacks creativity and depth which is why I don't listen to the radio often. I prefer bands and artists that aren't played on the radio (at least not where I live) like Rufus Wainright, Tori Amos, Ben Folds, The Shins.

they are HORRIBLE live.  Everytime I see them on tv it makes me cringe.  The bass player has the WORST technique I've ever seen.  Their playing is just all around sloppy as hell.  I will say that they are fun to watch, but a pain to hear.  So if you don't care about how they sound, then go have fun.  But if you're like me, and you want to hear your favorite band at their best... then just stick to CD's because I think you will be very disappointed.  Of course I'm a little biased because I cannot stand this band, and it was confirmed the few times I have seen them live on TV. Bad bad bad bad and bad.

No. I saw on an interview that Amy Lee said that they were Christians by beleif.\nBut their music was not Christian. It was to reach out to everybody, they dont sing about God aparently.\nJust because your a Christian, it dosent mean you have to be in a "Christian band".
