Those most of these bands are associated with liberalism, I don't see why everyone doesn't like them. Most everyone agrees that the 60s were a great period in music, and this is a continuation of that.
I mean you have to be appreciative of complex harmonies, layered melodies, improvisation, musicianship, technicality....

If music is good, music is good...if it doesn't bring me down spiritually I'll listen to it. I'm much more easy going with the music I listen to compared to some christians though, lol.
But as for psychedelic rock...I totally dig it. There's something to it that I really enjoy.

Anyways, i havent listened to much of it, its something I only sometimes even hear about. |

Reps: 842,363 (power: 850) | | | I'd rather listen to space rock or stoner rock to get my psychedelic fix, but I do like a few jambands: 60s-70s GD, MMW, Dr. Didg, STS9, Yonder Mtn. String Band, that's about it. I confess that I can't stand the new-agey jamband culture, and that I knew so many smug, hipper-than-thou, trustafarian Phish heads in college back in the late '90s that I actually cheered when Phish announced their retirement... |

I have been waiting for years for a Christian band that puts as much emphasis on and effort in the musical aspect of songwriting as on the vocals. In contemporary Christian music, there seems to be an immovable obstacle against any songwriting that makes the music equal to or above the vocals and lyrics.
There are probably many Christian musicians in popular bands who can play on the level of ELP, Rush, Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, and Dream Theater. But the CCM is an industry just like the secular equivalent and they stay where the money is at.

Yeah, that's the unfortunate truth... It seems like you really have to dig if you want to find Christian bands playing prog, psych, or other more instrumentally-focused genres. |

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | I love phish, and the dead, pink flyod, yes, kansas, etc. Some good christian jambands/prog (which took me forver to find inlcuded Waterdeep, Phil Keaggy (check out his work with glass harp, so sick!) the guitarist from kansas is a christian now and has a christian prog band, forget the name at the moment. I have played in a secular jamband for the past three years called. The band is currently on hiatus and I have always wanted to put a great christian jamband together with music inspired by phish and have a scene form with all the good from the jamband scene and at least less of the bad. Christian "Phans" seem to be few and far between though and people who dont get it just assume the music and scene revolves around drugs which is most def false. I have a few solo albums, and while I don't prefer to label music as christian or non-christian, some of my songs are def about aspects and thoughts of my christian faith.
myspace.com/dubiousmonk some of my music is instrumental as well.
