Much as I try not to, I always like "We Built This City".

Re: Secular Music

Yes. I listen to all kinds. Can't handle too much corporate rock or contempory christian. Still occasionally listen to my older alt christian stuff such as Daniel Amos, Steve Taylor and 77s.

Favorites these days include Coldplay, My Morning Jacket, Wilco, etc.

Re: Secular Music

I love music from the 70's and 80's.... secular or Christian. I'm not a fan of a whole lot since then. Especially contemporary Christian. When my son turns on our CC station, it takes about 3 seconds before I feel like my ears are bleeding. I just can't hack it. It all sounds exactly the same.

Too much guitar strumming over a light drum beat with completely and utterly uninspired melody's? I agree!

Yes. It literally gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Oh, and then they'll have about 14 different artists singing the same song. How many versions of 'Shout to the Lord' do we need??? Whatever happened to artists being original?

I was going to say something about that in my last post as well. I cannot believe all the "Praise Collections" CD's being hawked that feature nearly the exact same songs from one collection to the next.

Secular music has not been that much better with all the popular stuff being hip-hop in nature but I have to admit that I am really liking some of Beyoncés stuff.

Me too! Even though it's on a lot of those worst-songs-ever lists people put together.

I don't particularly avoid it, unless it's offensive or has a negative connotation. However, I usually listen to worship/gospel music because I find it uplifting.
