Same for Rap.

I personally love, ALL music, and do listen to everything, from Classical music to Deathcore. From Rap to Country. From Oldies to old fashion gospel. I listen to EVERYTHING and like it... Except Pop music, I really don't care to much for that stuff... You should do some research first into how music affects people then you can go further in your studies from that part.

Buddy you need to be veeeery careful about what you listen to...Listen closely to some of the music you listen to. Music is a quick road to whatever you're listening to...Listen to the lyrics, figure out how the "beat" makes you feel. I personally believe that any music not exalting the kingdom is an open channel for spiritual warfare. A lot of things you may be fighting could be from the music you listen to.

If they would just sink 'The Old Gospel Ship' I'd be one happy camper!

I love the hymns of old, and modern worship music. Chris Tomlin and Third Day are some of my favs. I have a weakness for mass choirs. My media playlists show me a very eclectic Jesus Freak.

I'm pretty much done with secular music except when I get a jones for some good Motown.... I used to be into southern rock, grunge and Metallica when I was a rank Baptist sinner.... of course I smoked a lot of dope then too.

You are right, I am trying to change what I listen to, but the problem is, since I love all types of music I can't help it... Or I can, but it will seriously take some time!

I like that one, but would prefer to see I'll Fly Away shot down. I really dislike that song. In thirty more years or so, I might enjoy singing that song.

Umm, it would be good if I actually knew the names of Christian bands O. O the only ones I know are, Steven Curtis Chapman, David Meece, Glory Forever - Gateway, and umm... Upper Room Experience. I think that is about it...

Fee, Shane and Shane, Third Day, Ten Shekel Shirt, Kutless, Flyleaf, Phil Wickham.... Those are a few, yes I love a variety of music. :)

I love David Meece! I love the Imperials. I love DeGarmo & Key. I cannot STAND most of the current crop of Christian contemporary which consists of nothing more then boring guitar strumming and a light beat with non-inspired melodies. The 80's were the glory days for Christian music and unfortunately it is gone. :(

Ironically, I just discovered some artists that was always familiar but never listened to. Just bought Queens Greatest Hits I, II, and III! "I want it all!"

Ha, yikes. I've defended Freddie Mercury here on this forum; but I'm not sure I'd let my kids listen to him, lol. But I can relate. That's why I suggested David Byrne, as he is inspired, imo, and a 20 something or under may have largely missed the Talking Heads.

I've seen some really neat sounding "Christian" music, but with some horrible lyrics. I have always payed careful attention to the lyrics in music that I listen to, never payed much attention to what genre it claimed to be.

Yeah...the 80s were the best!

David Meece had a different style and I loved it! The Imperials were also my fav.

Queen? I would say that they are the most unusual group that ever came to be.

While I was familiar with many of their hits I was a bit surprised to hear a few songs off their greatest hits that I knew but didn't know THEY did it. LOL
