never heard of Third Day, but I have Supernatural from DC Talk and it's pretty good. Audio A has really nice tunes as well.

You can add Jars of Clay too.

for a classic rock kinda sound check out stereo motion on flicker records.

Oh ok thanks for clearing that up. :D

Are all of the bands after the little dash in your list what the bands sound like? Just wondering b/c I know Cold and Breaking Benjamin aren't Christian bands.

yes, the first band is the christian one then the dash then the bands from mainstream that they are kinda similar to. sorry for the confusion.

know alot of christian music/artist/bands. I like skillet, kutless, Audio A, 12stones, big dismal, switchfoot, third day, mercy me, jeromy camp, dctalk, toby mac, and todd agnew.

my 2 favorites
P.O.D
Blindside... I know Matt (TremontiWanaB) would back me up on this, they fucking rock!
I've also got stuff by:
dc Talk
Jars of Clay
Newsboys
Third Day
Switchfoot (including the single "Dare You to Move", which is like 4 years old, but just now making its way onto alt-rock radio)
Audio Adrenaline
Demon Hunter
Kutless - another really good band, new album in past 6 mos, "Sea of Faces", good stuff
also, Skillet's pretty good (though i've never thought to download any of their stuff recently... now i'm inspired)
saw Relient K in concert @ my church a few years back, they were pretty awesome... sorta a blink-182 of christian music (punk type stuff... short, goofy songs, that sorta thang)
Seventh Day Slumber

STRYPER :D :D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Party :D

wow now thats a name you dont hear to often anymore

Bearfan, be sure to check out Skillet's new release "SAVIOR" it's awesome. The album is COLLIDE. Skillet has a female drummer she is amazing.

My Switchfoot cd cracked so now I have to get another one. Better yet.....I'll burn the thing off Kazaa. :D

12 Stones
Big Dismal
Switchfoot
may be others, but I'm more into non-christian bands at the moment:) There are a lot of great bands out there in both categories!

I like Big Dismal, too.

wasen't stapp involved in producing big dismal, produced their demo or something along those lines? i remember the rumours of him joining them man that was funny.

yes I listen to this music too (me being a good little preacher kid :::EVIL GRIN:::)


bands I like are:
EDL (every day life)-hip-hop hardcore they came up with POD and are outta LBC
Galactic Cowboys - Metal of the glam veriety fun stuff
Five Iron Frenzy - one of the best Christian SKA bands (see albums upbeats and beatdowns & our newest album ever)
The W's - Swing/Ska
Pillar - mentioned before
Zao - Hardcore
The O.C. Supertones - SKA (see album Supertones Strikeback)
MxPx - You know who they are
Goti Hook - Punk



and yes I do own Jars of Clay and 2 dcTalk CD's (Free@last and Jesus Freak)

thats what I can recall off the top of my head



P.S. I remeber switchfoot I saw them like 5-6 years ago when they sucked! :)

In the way of christian Rock, I will say Newsboys are good. As is Glo I think they are called.?
