Poll - Christian Music Favorites

iamjoesgurl

I am at a Chrisian music festival and so I've been enjoying Christian music this week.  I was wondering - who are some of your favorites?

We heard Casting Crowns last night and I really enjoy their music.  It is more of a worship style than purely listening which I enjoyed.  

Newsboys were on the first night, Skillet is tonight and Chris Tomlin tomorrow.  I like all of these bands too.

But my favorites are not here.  I love Jars of Clay and DecembeRadio.  Here are some of my favorites courtesy of Youtube.

I love Third Day.  I also love Steven Curtis Chapman - my first CD was his greatest hits, and it's still what I listen to when I've had a bad day.

Our first dance was to SCC's "What I Really Want to Say."  H and I got back together after having been broken up for a couple of months at an SCC concert.

He is a really cool dude.  I saw Skypark live many, many times.  They were good friends with one of the guys who did our summer camp every year, so they did a concert just for the campers every summer.  It was way cool to get to hang out with him and the other guys.

Relient K is my all time favorite.

Really loving Sleeping At Last lately.

My favorites are FFH, Ginny Owens, ZoeGirl, Jaci Velasquaz, Point of Grace, Todd Agnew, and Warren Barfield. They're usually not as well known as some of the other guys, but they're definately worth listening to.

ElisabethJoanne

Bach
Samuel Wesley
Handel
Mozart
Byrd
Tallis

Purple&7

Is it bad that I like a lot of songs but can't tell you who sings it? I know bands and singers but usually I don't the names of their songs.

<div>Me too!  They were here on Sunday night and I just can't get used to new Newsboys.  Phil Joel usually comes but is not here this year.  I wrote on Peter Furler's FB wall that we are here and are missing him.  He "liked" my post.  I was so surprised.  I love his new song and I really hope he comes here in the future.</div>

Yeah I have seen both the old and new Newsboys perform live at the Christian music fest here, and I definitely like the old better. I do like the most recent Newsboys cd as a whole but it isn't the same. Plus I just think of DC Talk because of the new vocals, hah.

OH and of course I forgot to add Switchfoot, but I liked their older stuff better. And I loooove what Jon Foreman (the lead singer) releases on his own. His solo stuff is amazing.
