Or maybe a better question would be what is your favorite Contemporary Christian song right now?

Whichever isn't playing.

I on occasion listen to a local Fundamental Baptist station that plays some old timey music. My wife plays a lot of Apostolic Choir music around the house. On occasional classical. More than music I listen to preaching or books on tape.

There is an online radio station that a non-Pentecostal holiness group has. It has some decent singing. On a very rare occasion, someone will bring me a song that is playing on the radio that I will enjoy and sometimes even learn for our youth choir to do. But the occasion is EXTEMELY rare. In general I feel that the music playing on the mainstream radio stations is churchianity garbage.

I don't. The music is bleh, the "sermons" are usually bleh, too.

We used to tune in to a local Christian station when they'd play old radio dramas for kids or maybe "Stories of Great Christians", and I admit I did enjoy listening to Adrian Rogers every now and then.

But now, overall, it's not worth the effort to turn my radio on. Half of Christian radio sounds just like either the pop stations or alternative "hipster millennial neckbeard full tatted sleeves wanna-be meth head but never got real" so called rock stations, or else like music for a quiet visitation at a funeral home.

Do you remember, or did you ever hear the radio drama "Sailor Sam?" There was also a show called Ranger Bill, but I didn't hear that one.

I can still hear Adrian Rodgers speaking from a sermon that I had heard from him when I was a teen!

He was alive still in those days. He is probably one of the only Baptist preachers I enjoy listening to-- even today. His solid, Bible-based ministry speaks from the grave to countless Christians.

I remember listening to, "Adventures In Odyssey," as a kid and as an adult.

However, as a kid, even as a teen, and much matured adult, there are only two "shows" that captivated my attention in a way I don't know how to describe.

"Alfredo Hitchcock Presents" and "UNSHACKLED". Something about the music and the voices of the narrators in both shows. Stills grips me. Maybe the both remind me of Judgment Day... I can't really describe it. Sorry.

To me there are 2 strands of modern Christian music.

1. Positive encouraging K LOVE STYLE.

I hardly listen to it. A good song now and then.

2. Praise and worship music.

There is so much glorious music in this strand I would hardly know where to start.

When you say "right now" do you mean it needs be a song recently released OR that we have many but our favorite at the moment?
