A:"Oh um, you know those cds you gave out last week and some other stuff...."
Today a coworker asked me that question yet I couldn't come up with an intelligent answer when knowing what I listen to is a very easy question to answer. I got thinking about this tonite...am I ashamed b/c the vast majority of my tunes are christian? Am I embarrassed that I like a lot of christian music out there and am afraid ppl will scoff and say there is no such thing as good christian music? Or that my music collection is small? Seriously! So for posterity sake and so I get over this silly rationalization here are the top bands on my iTunes/iPod:
Chris Tomlin
Coldplay
David Crowder Band
Derek Webb
Enya
FM Static
Grits
Insiderz
Jason Mraz
Jeremy Camp
Jody Cross
John Mayer
Josh Groban
Keane
Kosmos Express
Kutless
Lifehouse
Maroon 5
Relient K
Rex Goudie
Sanctus Real
Shawn McDonald
Switchfoot
Third Day
Warren Barfield
Bands not loaded on comp but should be:
Simple Plan
Everday Sunday
Pax 217
Todd Smith
Lindsey Minaker
Our Lady Peace
Billy Klippert
Brian Littrell
Can you see what else is the other most common theme between all the bands? (minus about 2) besides most of them being christian? If you guess correctly, I'll give u a prize!
Almost all of them have lead male singers.
don't worry.. a lot of my music is country.. you can't get much worse than that.. ;-)
I don't know hardly any of the artists that you listen on your ipod. What happen to the good old christian band like gospel songs by the Gaither Trio and other artists like Anne Murray, Tennesse Ernie Ford, etc. Also whatabout hymns by choirs,singers that produce nice songs like There a Little Brown Church in the Wildwood? You know that it really exists and that why we have that song.
Oh by the way what happen to listening to Christmas music this time of the year. As a couple of months ago you could hardly wait for that time of year.
