Christian Rock

Does anyone know any good christian rock bands?

No idea off the top of my head, really not into it. I did watch an episode of southpark called 'christian hard rock' although theyre taking the piss they do mention a couple of famous christian rock bands in it and creed of course errrrr 'shivers'

I sometimes listen to Relient K: http://www.myspace.com/relientk
They are more like poppish punk, but still, it wont harm you, to give it a try


More conventional is Kutless: http://www.myspace.com/kutless

Also Switchfoot is quite nice: http://www.myspace.com/switchfoot

From heavier side: Stryper: http://www.myspace.com/stryper

depends how rocky you want i guess, i dunno what country you're from but big people here are casting crowns, delirious, underoath, one hundred hours... people like that

Earth Crisis but they're Hare Krishna, not Christian... Sorry

Hope this helped!

SuperChick all the way. but some of there songs are kinda popish

Well, there's Skillet, Flyleaf, and some from SuperChick. Those are the only ones I know for now...

"Good" and "Christian" are oxymorons already, let alone "good" and "Christian rock".

Way to act like a (oxy)moron dude...

It is true I have a strong dilike of the shove-it-sown-your-throat organised religious zealots that litter our world... But if actual "do unto others..." Christians want to rock out without throwing their belies in our faces then so be it.


FYI - Iron Maiden are religious yet they kick ***

can you honestly say that while listening to Christian music you've felt like they were JAMMING their religion down your throat, FORCING you to convert from your non-religious life to a God-fearing, holy life. All while you're just listening to their music when you could so easily just turn it off if you dislike it so much!

I highly doubt it! So quit spreading the stereotype that all Christians are trying to force-feed you what they (and I) believe in!!!

Man, I hate that stereotype!

I thought that first too when i was going to listen to it. But most of it isn't even about god. LIke "Wishes" and "Bowling Ball" by superchick

No, I can't say that and I didn't say that before - if you bothered to read my posts you'd know that

I never said I don't enjoy the music, some christian rock bands sing about things other than Jesus and they're pretty bloody good thankyou very much.

I'm not, I said I don't like Christians force feeding me their beliefs - and it's happened to me in real life so it's not a generalising sterotype unlike "all emos cut their wrists" or "all heavy metal's devil music"

Man, I hate that stereotype!

Man I hate people who don't read someone 's posts and start an argument for the sake of looking "kewl"


BACK ONTO TOPIC - CHRISTIAN BANDS
Creed
P.O.D.
Styx
Stryper


Also listen to a band called Earth Crisis, strictly not Christian but they're Hare Krishnas and they're very good.

sry, just a misinterpretation of the meaning behind your first comment, Jester. I'm just pretty offended by those people who think the only purpose of Christians is to push their lifestyles on everyone else.

my fault.

Don't worry about it

Skillet is a very good christian rock band...
