Hey all,

I thought it might be a nice change or conversation to talk music. All you theologians that are burnt out on debating the foreknowledge of God, come debate your current knowledge of music! Please feel free to post away with your favorites, least favorites, bands that you love, bands that you absoloutely despise. Any style of music welcome, I like pretty much all styles (except country and opera). Also, don't be limited to just Christian music. There is a lot of good secular music out there as well.

Here are some of my favorite bands:

U2 - My all time favorite band! I have all of their CDs!

Coldplay - Another great band. They've been called a modern day U2.

Switchfoot - Great Christian band. They have some very positive and encouraging songs. Their music reminds me of a John Eldredge book. They sing a lot about freedom and adventure in life.

Sevendust - For all you hard rock fans out there, this is the GREATEST hard rock band EVER. Check out their latest CD, "Animosity."

Matchbox 20 - Where would we be without Matchbox 20? Could you imagine how boring radio stations would be if they didn't have all those Matchbox 20 hits to play? GREAT driving music!

Evanescence - Very creep hard rock music. Also very hauntingly beautiful. The lead singer is a female, and has a wonderful voice.

T-Bone - Best Christian rapper out there. He can rhyme faster than any secular emcee. He's also featured in the new movie "The Fighting Temptations." He plays one of the prison inmates and in one scene he breaks out into a pretty crazy rap song with Lil' Zane and Montel Jordan.

New Found Glory - Had to mention a punk band. When it comes to punk rock music, this band is as good as it gets.

Those are some of my favorite bands. Now here are some of my favorite songs:

"Trouble" - Coldplay: This song will make you cry.
"Yellow" - Coldplay: So will this one.
"I'm gonna be (500 miles)" - The Problaimers: THE catchiest song EVER.
"Push" - Matchbox 20: You KNOW you have heard this song.
"When the stars go blue" - The Corrs (Featuring Bono): Beautiful song.
"Dare to move" - Switchfoot: Good motivational song.
"Everyday" - Dave Matthews Band: Dr. Boyd, this should be your favorite song. The main chorus is "All you need is... What you want is... All you need is Looovvve."
"Smooth" - Santana: Oh baby, this song is HOT! Overplayed though.
"Time is on my side" - Rolling Stones: PLEASE don't ask me why I like this song so much. For some reason it's always stuck in my head.
"Where is the Love?" - Black Eyed Peas: GREAT message. Hard song not to dance and sing along with. For a secular band they really hit the nail on the head with this song.
"One" - U2: My personal favorite U2 song. Powerful, sweeping anthem.

And here are some of my favorite worship songs:

"Heart of worship" - Sonicflood
"For the moments I feel faint" - Relient K
"Trading my sorrows" - Delirious
"Every move I make" - Various Artists
"Amazing Love" - Rebecca St. James

Okay! Those are my favorites bands and songs. Now it's time for the rest of you to list yours. Remember, ANY STYLE is welcome. Christian or Secular. Post, Post, Post!!

In His Grip,

Good topic Matt!

I've got to agree with you on Coldplay. They are just incredible.

Since High School I have been a huge fan of British Rock. Oasis' album "What's the Story (Morning Glory)?" is probably my favorite album of all time. Although the Gallagher brothers are incredibly cocky, Noel writes the best pop-rock songs since Lennon/McCartney. I'm also a big fan of the band Travis out of Scotland. there last two albums have been amazing. And they're the best band I've ever seen live.

Christian music-- Switchfoot is hard to beat. I like the comparison to John Eldredge. They just have a very cool sound.

My favorite Christian band of all time?? Waterdeep! Don and Lori Chaffer's music has impacted my life more than any other musical group. Don's solo album "You Were At The Time For Love" is BEAUTIFUL and incredibly full of meaning. The best song on the album is "Completely Known." You've just gotta hear it...

Well there's my opinion for what it's worth.

Outside of philosophy and theology, music and movies are my favorite things to talk about. I'd been considering starting a thread like this for awhile...

Anyway, my musical tastes and preferences are very broad, so here's a sample of some artists I enjoy.

Rich Mullins - Easily the best poet/songwriter of the CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) era. Songs of intimate praise, sweeping beauty, and intense self-awareness. Favorite songs: "Boy Like Me/ Man Like You", "If I Stand", "We Are Not As Strong As We Think We Are", "The Color Green", "Hard To Get", "My Deliverer", "Step By Step/ Sometimes By Step" Best Album: "The Jesus Record"

Foo Fighters - The best alternative rock band still in business, led by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. Favorite songs: "Everlong", "Monkey Wrench", "Hey Johnny Park", "For All The Cows", "This is a Call", "Aurora", "Learn To Fly", "All My Life", "Times Like These", "Lonely As You" Best Album: "The Colour and the Shape"

Jimmy Eat World - Gained widespread notoriety a couple years back with super-catchy radio hits like "The Middle"; were already one of my faves before that however. Favorite songs: "Rockstar", "Claire", "Lucky Denver Mint", "Your New Aesthetic", "Crush", "Just Watch The Fireworks", "For Me This is Heaven", "Bleed American", "No Sensitivity", "A Praise Chorus", "Sweetness", "Hear You Me", "Get it Faster" Best Album: "Clarity"

Weezer - Have had an up-and-down career, but Rivers and Co. still turn out the best consistently good pop-rock you'll find. Favorite songs: "My Name is Jonas", "The World Has Turned and Left Me Here", "Buddy Holly", "Say it Ain't So", "Only in Dreams", "Why Bother", "The Good Life", "El Scorcho", "Pink Triangle", "Butterfly", "I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams", "You Gave Your Love to Me Softly", "Suzanne", "Hash Pipe", "Smile", "Simple Pages", "Dope Nose", "Keep Fishin'", "Burndt Jamb", "Slob", "Love Explosion" Best Album: "Pinkerton"

Pixies - The forefathers of the grunge/alt rock of the 90's, gifted with a special breed of madness all their own. Best Songs: "Where is My Mind?", "Bone Machine", "Planet of Sound", "UMass", "Monkey Gone to Heaven", "Velouria", "Cactus", "Little Eiffel", "Crackity Jones", "Tony's Theme", "Debaser", Gigantic" Best Album: "Surfer Rosa"

AFI - The musical equivalent of reading Edgar Allan Poe. Dark, brooding, melodic punk rock. Favorite songs: "Strength Through Wounding", "Porphyria", "Clove Smoke Catharsis", "God Called In Sick Today", "Look What You've Done", "Days of the Phoenix", "Wester", "Morningstar", "Fall Children", "The Boy Who Destroyed the World", "Totalimmortal", "Leaving Song Pt. 2", "Silver and Cold", "Girl's Not Grey", "Death of Seasons", "The Leaving Song" Best Album: "Sing the Sorrow"

Ben Folds (Five) - Piano-driven, at times sarcastic, at times heartbreaking. "Punk rock for sissies", as Ben would say. Favorite songs: "Underground", "Jackson Cannery", "Eddie Walker", "One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces", "Song For the Dumped", "Brick", "Smoke", "Kate", "Narcolepsy", "Don't Change Your Plans", "Mess", "Magic", "Army", "Your Redneck Past", "Jane", "Annie Waits", "Zak and Sara", "Still Fighting It", "The Ascent of Stan", "Rockin' the Suburbs", "Silver Street", "The Best Imitation of Myself", "Fred Jones Part 2", "Philosophy", "The Luckiest" Best album: (tie) "The Unauthorized Autobiography of Reinhold Messner", "Ben Folds Live"

David Bowie - One of the few classic rockers still relevant today. Favorite Songs: "Space Oddity", "The Man Who Sold the World", "Ziggy Stardust", "Changes", "Rebel Rebel", "Heroes", "Let's Dance", "Under Pressure", "I'm Afraid of Americans", "Cactus", "Slow Burn" Best Album: "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars"

Johnny Cash - No reasons needed. Favorite songs: "I Walk the Line", "Folsom Prison Blues", "Ring of Fire", "Man In Black", "Boy Named Sue", "The Ballad of Ira Hayes", "Amazing Grace", "Were You There (When They Crucified My Lord)", "The Mercy Seat", "Hurt", "When The Man Comes Around" Best album: "The Essential Johnny Cash"

Ramones - Still better than every pop-punk impostor on Top 40 radio today. Favorite songs: "Blitzkrieg Bop", "Beat on the Brat", "Do You Remember Rock and Roll Radio?", "Pinhead", "Sheena is a Punk Rocker", "Needles and Pins", "Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment", "I Wanna Be Sedated", "Cretin Hop", "The KKK Took My Baby Away", "Rock and Roll High School", "What a Wonderful World" (Joey Ramone) Best album: "The Ramones"

Led Zeppelin - The GREATEST hard rock band. Ever. Favorite songs: "Dazed and Confused", "Whole Lotta Love", "Ramble On", "Bring It On Home", "Immigrant Song", "Friends", "Since I've Been Loving You", "Gallows Pole", "Tangerine", "Black Dog", "Rock and Roll", "The Battle of Evermore", "Going to California", "When the Levee Breaks", "Houses of the Holy", "Dancing Days", "Over the Hills and Far Away", "Trampled Underfoot", "Kashmir", "The Ocean", "Nobody's Fault But Mine" Best Album: "Led Zeppelin III"

Five Iron Frenzy: Often dismissed as an irrelevant "ska" band, FIF has continued to write and perform music that IS crazy and goofy sometimes, but more often than not has something important to say. Their upcoming breakup is a huge loss. Favorite songs: "A Flowery Song", "Anthem", "Arnold, Willis, and Mr. Drummond", "Handbook For the Sellout", "Where's Micah?", "Blue Comb '78", "Oh Canada", "Every New Day", "One Girl Army", "Dandelions", "The Untimely Death of Brad", "These Are Not My Pants (The Rock Opera)", "The Greatest Story Ever Told", "Solidarity", "The Phantom Mullet", "You Probably Shouldn't Move Here", "Giants", "A New Hope", "World Without End", "Pre-Ex Girlfriend", "Far, Far Away", "You Can't Handle This", "Farsighted", "The Day We Killed", "Blue Mix", "Vultures", "Eulogy" Best Album: "Our Newest Album Ever"

Well, this is quickly getting out of hand, so here's some honorable mentions: Outkast, The Streets, Starflyer 59, Robin Marks, Denison Witmer, Rilo Kiley, Thrice, Switchfoot, Delirious, System of a Down, Dave Matthews Band, Iron Maiden, Stryper, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, The Doors, The Beatles, The Polyphonic Spree, Dead Kennedys, The Clash...

Heh. I like music...

In essentials, unity; In matters of opinion, liberty; In all things, love.

One group I discovered in grad-school that I like is Puya, which is a very creative Puerto Rican, Heavy-Metal-Rap-Salsa combination that is both in english and spanish.

What is amazing about this group is how positive its lyrics are. They took something that was dark from the US and made it their own, transforming it into a liberating expression of their anger and hopes. On the first cover, the whole band thanks God and I know that they went and performed for prison inmates as part of their music ministry.

I also like Allison Krause, Creed and Lifehouse and ColdPlay, Gershwin, when Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong sing together.

I have always enjoyed the song, "Yesterday" by the Beatles.

Niebuhr thought that sustained moral energy in politics depended on religion's power to mobilize reason along with self-transcending love. The prophetic tradition, meanwhile, gave Jews and Christians some protection against the temptation to identify their social causes with God's will. Lincoln's second inaugural address expressed the prophetic insight, "The almighty has His own purposes."

Don: You STOLE my fire! Not to mention my list...I have never met anyone who came close to my collection! Common Bond! Anyone who could even MENTION them has taste! But your "central theme" (Ten cents if you can tell what album that song is from) is entirely correct. Terry Taylor is without a doubt the single most talented individual to ever come out of Christian music and it is a shame that Christians do not know who he is. Its also a shame he didn't go secular some time in his life because the world probably would have appreciated him more. But in the ghetto that believes Amy Grant actually is more than marginlly talented...anything is possible.

First track on Alarma!...

That you for reminding me about this one. I say this should be the board theme song.

Who could forget anything Weird Al did, especially pre 1990.

There is no one out there who combines the gut weariness of life while keeping the hope alive of something more like Bruce Cockburn.

The sixties to mid-70's Moody Blues.

These guys put me in my musical place. The album starts, 45 minutes goes by, and it seems like only a minute. The music draws you in, you float around in it for awhile, then it gently sets you down. The "In Search Of The Lost Chord" album is one of my all time favs.

I think God used these guys to open me up to the possibility of life being eternal and to the notion of living now, not in the past, or in the future. "Be Here Now" as Baba Ram Dass would say.

peace, don

Sorry, Don, but if a person has "Nights In White Satin," one has all the Moody Blues one needs. Kind of like owning more than one Grateful Dead album. What would be the point?

The blues:

The Grammy award winning album, "Showdown", with Johnny Copeland, Albert Collins and Robert Cray. This is "Chicago" blues at it's best, these guy's are the masters. "Chicago" blues is the electric variety, no wimpy acoustic guitars here.

The bass guitar and kick drum lock in tight and give you that really solid thump in your chest. This is driving music that really cuts through the road noise.

peace, don

Boy, you guys make me feel old and out of it!!!

I still like my "old music" but I just don't enjoy it as much as Christian music, so I rarely listen to anything that is secular anymore...having said that, my old favs are:
*David Bowie---oh, yeah! Eyebrow

*Tom Petty
*Jimi Hendrix
*Counting Crows
*The Cranberries
*Jackson Browne---"Late for the Sky" is incredibly profound
*Van Halen---David Lee Roth stuff only
*Styx---"Renegade" is a classic
*Def Leopard---now I'm REALLY sounding '80's!
*Bad Company
*Eric Clapton
*Rush---best drummer ever!
*Don Henley & The Eagles

What I mostly listen to these days are:
*Third Day---LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!
*Nicole Nordeman
*Kirk Franklin---NU Nation Project
*Cademan's Call
*Reliant K
*Audio Adrenalin
*Mercy Me
*Shaun Groves
*Ten Shekel Shirt

My favorite worship songs are:
*Anything off both Third Day worship albums
*Original version of "Breathe" before Michael W. Smith got a hold of
it
*You are my King
*I Give you my Heart
*That's Why we Praise Him--fast,rock version, not the Promise Keeper guys
*Several Vineyard tunes

I'd have more, but my intuition tells me my computer is about to crash....aaaahhhh

Wohoo! I found out a couple of nights ago that Big Fat Jam didn't break up! I thought they had! I never really go to Christian concerts much, but some friends of mine said that they've heard them play at concerts! Yehaaaa! Flame2

I'm gonna have to go see them sometime!
