I was wondering if any of you could recommend some good Christian artist/CDs. Just about any type, just not stuff that sounds too much like rock. Other than that it doesn't really matter. Thanks in advance.

Barlowgirl, if you don't want too much rock.

 

[STARINELSON]

Carman, Michael W. Smith , Jaci Velasquez... there are lots more. What style do you prefer?

 

[writer4him]

[Brenron]

Over the Rhine - Drunkard's Prayer, Films for Radio, Ohio
Stavesacre - Speakeasy
Sufjan Stevens - Michigan, Seven Swans, Illinois

 

[foo-oswald]

Anything you can find by the David Crowder Band...

I could give you the name of hardcore or hip hop groups that don't sound like rock, but I'm not really sure that's what you're asking for..?

Stavesacre - Speakeasy

Since these guys are rock enough for me, they're probably too much for her. They're good though. I think the OP wants to listen to them and get converted!

Stavesacre is an awesome band.

hey i would definitely suggest barlow girl or Superchic[k]... if u decide superchic[k] then get Beauty from Pain first...... it is the best cd i have ever heard in my life!!!

If you don't want it to sound like rock... Iona would be a good choice. Iona would be a good choice if you want a great band.

Umm... I don't know much else that doesn't sound like rock...

Stavesacre is an awesome band.

Stavesacre WAS an awesome band. Their last 2 albums were hideous.

All of JC's albums are great. I'd recommend listening to "Stay" first. He also has a worship album called "Carried Me". His newest album that came out last November is called "Restored".

J is kind of pop rock. He has a few songs that stick out as being more rock, but the majority of his stuff leans more toward pop.

You may not like this kind of music, but the man who writes most of the songs is a personal friend of my family; and boy are the words deep!

The self-titled is the only one I have, and I found Witch Hunt (the opening track, I believe) to be the only satisfying cut, but it was a very satisfying one. Allmusic.com classified it as straight-up Emo, which I thought was kind of interesting.

Anyhow, as for music, you might want to check out Joy Electric. You might think it's wierd but it's actually perfectly normal.

I really want to suggest John Reuben!, but I'm pretty sure you're not looking for hip-hop. Anyway his latest album is a bit more rock so.. oh well! But he's great - I like him, and I don't even like hip-hop!
Other than Reuben.. how about MercyMe. They have some great worship type songs (guitar-driven stuff though). There's Rebecca St. James too if you haven't checked her out yet. And LaRue .. also worth checking.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I will have to check these out!

Yesterday's alternative is today's emo, apparently.
