Yeah, like someone else said - their stuff holds up.

The rest of the poo poo I was into in my Jesus phase... just awful.

I've always been impressed by evangelicals' talent for being so aggressively bland in their creative endeavors; I think it takes real talent to create such utterly boring music and art.
they were pioneers in the american movement of combining entertainment with their personal political and moral beliefs. soon it expanded to the right in general, and then to the left

thanks evangelicals, i hope you get rounded up into camps

I was super into the Christian punk / ska / hardcore scene between about 94 and 2007 or so. Operated a music venue and everything. If you liked em, I've met them. The only Christian band I like that I haven't seen live is Saviour Machine, and that's a dream I need to give up on. I do own the handwritten, used in the studio lyrics to "behold a pale horse", though.

Mortification is super cool, I got to play guitar with Phil Keaggy once at a venue in Florida which was super cool, and the guys from the supertones are right wing shitheads.

E: I do remember Kings X being pretty good, but I don't know if they'd be considered 'Christian Rock' or just musicians that happened to be Christians. For whatever it's worth, I ran into Doug Pinnick wandering around the crowd at the 25th anniversary Woodstock in 1994 and he was a nice and cool dude.

For major luls, consider some of mankind's greatest achievements in art, architecture, and philosophy were that were directly inspired by faith and then compare that to the achievements of the american evangelical movement.

Research confirms that black is a color like silver is a color, and that beyond black is clarity.
When I was a kid my mom thought stuff like Collective Soul and Megadeth were Satan in the literal sense, so instead she hit up Columbia House and signed me up for one of those 50 CDs for a penny each deals.

The catch was that they were all Christian pop/rock, so all the music I owned (pre-napster) was banal stuff like Carman and the Newsboys.

I used to have to sneak over to a friends place to hear stuff like Metallica and Pearl Jam. So thanks mom and Jesus

"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

I used to listen to The Showdown because bad metal is usually old-testament biblical anyway, no harm in going whole hog with it.

Also Blindside but I seem to remember every album after Silence sucking.

I like Audio Adrenaline when I had even worse taste than I do now, but they got super boring once they all started having kids and poo poo. Their earlier stuff like Some Kinda Zombie was fun.

I always thought that part of the reason FIF broke up was because half the band didn't take the Christian part seriously, I mean half their tracks were either jokes or regular songs, and their last album (before they apparently reformed?) was Cheeses of Nazareth, PA.

My mom didn't even think secular music was the devil or anything like that (which is weird in retrospect because she certainly thought that about every other loving thing), I don't know why she pushed banal Christian stuff so hard.

Please disregard my advice w/r/t history.
I listened to Underoath during my freshman transition from classic rock to hardcore. I heard they were Christian but I don't hear it in their music, except the parts that suck

I completely forgot how hard I was into Frontside during their weird biblical themes era. They were brutal(ish) in sound and extreme in imagery, and lyrics were about martyrology etc.

Creation of Death/Jerusalem was beyond terrible though:

I was an evangelical in the 90s but remember none of these songs. However this is not a logical contradiction because it's only a one-way propositionally causal relationship.
