Toondude10: Christian bands that everyone likes

Toondude10 03.14.15	all of these albums have +3.5 averages not kidding
Jots 03.14.15	that's pretty fucked up, agreed
guitarded_chuck 03.14.15	norma jean
BMDrummer 03.14.15	gross
MrSirLordGentleman 03.14.15	No Stryper no list
Ryus 03.14.15	1 and 6 are the only good bands here
MuhNamesTyler 03.14.15	Oh, sleeper have fallen off tho
beefshoes 03.14.15	August Burns Red are a fantastic band imo, and they were my first concert (late-2009) and were the best live band I've seen as far as metalcore is concerned. I can't say the same for the other bands, but I've only listened to a few on this list.
DrGonzo1937 03.14.15	My Epic, dude. Band rules.
DrGonzo1937 03.14.15	Although, not going to lie, I don't listen to the lyrics to any Christian Rock band because they kill the whole thing for me. Great list btw. Don't think I've seen one that touches on this subject.
Toondude10 03.14.15	that's probably because everyone would be like "Christian music = automatically terrible." That's not to say that there isn't any bad Christian music out there (Hawk Nelson, Kutless to name a couple) but there are some great ones out there.
Confucius 03.14.15	I hate all those bands
DrGonzo1937 03.14.15	Agreed, Toon. There is some fucking heavy Christian bands out there.
Toondude10 03.14.15	I guess one reason for the hate is because Christian music always seems to be behind on the music industry. Take a band like Thousand Foot Krutch, they're still making music that probably would've been great if it was released in the early 00's. Now look where it's gotten them.
ButteryBiscuitBass 03.14.15	Rock N Roll's the DEVIL!!
Toondude10 03.14.15	said every single American mother in the 60s and 70s
Relinquished 03.14.15	ugly list
SharkTooth 03.14.15	wtf no christian black metal?
Toondude10 03.14.15	as far I know, there isn't. Who knows maybe there's some band that hiding out somewhere that fits that description.
DrGonzo1937 03.14.15	"Rock N Roll's the DEVIL!!" To be honest, buttery, I think that's why I can't swallow christian band lyrics, it just seems completely hypocritical to me.
SharkTooth 03.14.15	@toondude Antestor is a good one to check out
Toondude10 03.14.15	13 needs more love, only me and 1 other person rated them and they're fantastic
OwMySnauze 03.14.15	No Emery?
someguest 03.14.15	mewithoutYou is closer to Islam and Judaism than Christianity. Not like it matters though. Same god different bullshit.
treeqt. 03.14.15	all shit you're wrong sued
Cygnatti 03.14.15	i don't like any of these .?
someguest 03.14.15	But that's not really saying anything, Cygnatti. Do you like anything? Have you had fun even once?
deathschool 03.14.15	Been meaning to check mewithoutyou. Most of these are real bad.
Cygnatti 03.14.15	i think i did, once or twice maybe
Thibs 03.14.15	serious lack of Extol bro. i like a lot of these though also Tourniquet, Soul Embraced, Believer, Beloved, Impending Doom, Norma Jean
someguest 03.14.15	Cygnatti would be the type of guy to take his lover out for a fancy multiple course dinner and complain about the variety provided by the different courses.
deathschool 03.14.15	The chocolate mousse was bland though. I'll defend my baby on that one.
IronGiant 03.14.15	i fuck with mewithoutYou hard
YoYoMancuso 03.14.15	donde esta Thrice
Toondude10 03.14.15	Thrice isn't a Christian band, or at least not anymore so they don't count.
dmp3131 03.14.15	A lot of these bands rule, regardless of their religion. If it sounds good I'll probably like it.
SpiritCrusher2 03.14.15	Extol >
hikingmetalpunk 03.14.15	marduk
Spec 03.14.15	Surprised not to see Emery here tbh.
Snake. 03.14.15	where the fuck are thrice and mineral
Spec 03.14.15	Tim Lambesis albums guys.
Spec 03.14.15	lololo
ExcentrifugalForz 03.14.15	dogwood
bloc 03.14.15	"Although, not going to lie, I don't listen to the lyrics to any Christian Rock band because they kill the whole thing for me." Dude the lyrics from some of these bands are simply killer. ABR for example
Toondude10 03.14.15	mewithoutYou is another example of great lyrics
YakNips 03.14.15	i know one of the guitarists of oh, sleeper he's a cool dude demon hunter blow tho lol
oltnabrick 03.14.15	good list will check some of these
OwMySnauze 03.15.15	Akissforjersey
Calc 03.15.15	seriously listen to king's kaleidoscope
wwf 03.15.15	Emery's great, probably better than all of these tbh although I like most of them But remember the days when As I Lay Dying would've been on one of these lists? lmao
DrGonzo1937 03.15.15	Oh, Sleeper are pretty cool.
Mort. 03.15.15	no Training For Utopia wow wow wow wow wow wow
Toondude10 03.15.15	oh yeah, forgot about them
DrGonzo1937 03.15.15	Training For Utopia rule, yeah.
Sowing 03.15.15	Really good list. 2, 3, 6, 10, and 12 are my favorites listed here. There's a lot of terrible Christian music out there just like there's awful kinds of all music, but it's refreshing to see someone actually give accolades where they're due instead of just hating on an entire group of musicians.
Mort. 03.15.15	Yeah i reviewed TFU 2nd lp a few weeks ago. Underated album, way better than their 1st imo
Toondude10 03.15.15	I thought you didn't like 12 Sowing
Artuma 03.15.15	"1 and 6 are the only good bands here" anberlin isn't good tho. then again 2 rulessssss
Friday13th 03.15.15	These are decent picks, but I wouldn't give any album by these bands more than a 3.5. For 4.0+ kind of stuff, try Theocracy, Neal Morse, Saviour Machine, Extol, Believer, Tourniquet, The Prayer Chain, Larry Norman, and Daniel Amos. The last two mentioned started in the 70s so if you want to get your feet wet with some real old school Christian rock those are good starts.
Friday13th 03.15.15	And yes, Antestor and Horde are Christian black metal bands XD
TheSupernatural 03.15.15	Thrice is at least halfway a Christian band, I mean I don't know about Riley and Eddie but Dustin has always been open about his faith and I think Teppei has been as well. And it's ironic for them to be my favorite band since I'm completely atheist lol. List is also missing Skillet and Flyleaf, not sure if they have the ratings though
Toondude10 03.15.15	The general consensus of this website says that Skillet is terrible.
deathschool 03.15.15	Cuz they is
Friday13th 03.15.15	It's hard not to enjoy Skillet's two good albums. The rest is bad.
deathschool 03.15.15	I've only heard like two of their songs, but it was enough for me
Friday13th 03.15.15	gotta dig the strings on Rebirthing even if the lyrics are awful.
TalonsOfFire 03.16.15	unblack metal seems like an interesting genre
TheSupernatural 03.16.15	Current Skillet is shit but they were decent alt rock at one point
Sowing 03.16.15	I didn't think much of 12 back when I reviewed it, and it's still not the greatest, but for what it is and the genre it isn't terrible.
Friday13th 03.16.15	Best Relient K is Five Score. It has some sweet Beach Boys influence especially in the epic Deathbed
DrGonzo1937 03.16.15	Skillet had one good album.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.16.15	none of these are good
Friday13th 03.16.15	Potsy, try this: https://youtu.be/MFLBg9rDeIY
Aftertheascension 03.16.15	I'm pretty sure everyone likes anberlin
Aftertheascension 03.16.15	Horde is fantastic too
JokineAugustus 03.16.15	I know Zao hasn't been a christian band in like 17 years
mete0ra 06.05.15	Project 86

melnadaiid 06.05.15	but yea 11 and 14 are aiight
Toondude10 06.05.15	Collide and Comatose were good albums and I liked Awake. The rest are meh.
CK 06.05.15	Made a list with my previous user: http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=458967&listid=97820
Sowing 06.05.15	Bottom line: being Christian doesn't make your music any better or worse. Just like with anything, there's talented bands and shitty ones. Of course, there's people who want you to think that every Christian band is awful, but they're wrong. Just like people who think any music with a Christian label is automatically great. I hate to be captain obvious but I've just seen this whole religious music debate way too often lately. Bands on this list for the most part are pretty good.
Supercoolguy64 06.05.15	ninety pouns wuss was pretty god, and they were lumped wth the whole christian rock scene through out their exsistance, manly because of their debut
Royl123 06.05.15	Where's Extol?
CK 06.05.15	http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=458967&listid=97820
erizen826 06.05.15	Pretty sure mewithoutYou has said several times that they're not a Christian band. They just use themes and imagery from Christianity along with elements from other faiths to explore spirituality in general.
MrNippleLipz 06.05.15	Where's Extol?[2]
Thibs 06.06.15	Where's Extol?[3]
Toondude10 06.06.15	"Christian bands that everyone likes" Nobody likes Creed
carved 06.06.15	So much better satanic music out there
MuhNamesTyler 06.06.15	Ily satan :)
Aftertheascension 06.06.15	"2nd worst genre just after pop punk" Funk wants a word with you.
TheSonomaDude 06.06.15	Creed isn't even christian, Stapp just bills the band as such
Frippertronics 06.06.15	funk? what the fuck is up with you and that shit taste?
Snake. 06.06.15	hopesfall's first album is technically christian mxc and lol @ ascension bashing funk
Toondude10 06.06.15	Never got into Hopesfall honestly
JokineAugustus 06.06.15	Mortification is pretty sweet
JokineAugustus 06.06.15	OH and Theocracy too
Toondude10 06.06.15	Haven't listened to that much Theocracy but what I heard was good
someguest 06.07.15	we were meant to live for so much more than bullshit christian albums
Toondude10 06.29.15	I had no idea that Emery was a christian band. Gonna have to check them out now.
L4titudes 06.29.15	Don't forget Gorgoroth
Toondude10 06.29.15	never heard of them
Friday13th 06.29.15	https://youtu.be/puwllq0fBLs
Toondude10 06.29.15	well that just summed it all up XD
Friday13th 06.29.15	Gorgoroth is a place in Mordor and everyone knows that LOTR is a Christian novel soooo hypocrite! lol
Toondude10 06.29.15	yeah I looked them up I was like "Well if it's from LOTR it must be christian" NOPE, turns out the frontman is a satanist.
BallsToTheWall 06.29.15	Stryper > this entire list
Friday13th 06.29.15	yeah toondude that dude ain't playing
Friday13th 06.29.15	@BallsToTheWall TO HEEEEEEEELL WITH THE DEVIIIIIIIIIIIIIL
alienobserver 06.29.15	Manchester orchestra
Snowdog808 07.13.15	No Stryper no list [2].
markfromearly 09.26.19	This list is fact
Emim 09.26.19	Mortification, Believer, Tourniquet, and Paramaecium are all pretty well-received.
cvlts 09.26.19	necro bump
Source 09.26.19	Mercury Switch are one of the best bands ever. unfortunately like 5 people on the entire planet know about them.
Emim 09.26.19	It's rare one of these lists turns me onto a new band. I'll have to give them a listen
Sowing 09.26.19	Most of these bands are decent, pretty accurate list Had no idea 10 was Christian loved that album for years
Source 09.26.19	curious to know if you like them Emim
Lucman 09.26.19	Throw My Epic in there and you'd pretty much have a perfect list.
Asdfp277 09.26.19	are any of the bands here homophobic / transphobic
Invaderbryan 09.26.19	Chariot
Sowing 09.27.19	"are any of the bands here homophobic / transphobic" way to stereotype
Asdfp277 09.27.19	a. happened to me with flyleaf b. sure
Storm In A Teacup 09.27.19	The list we needed and the list we deserved
RolyPoly 09.27.19	The satanic Christian cult of america must be abolished
Storm In A Teacup 09.27.19	Indeed
Storm In A Teacup 09.27.19	Not sure how it's just America tho
neekafat 09.27.19	I thought 2 was jewish
Sowing 09.27.19	Weiss was born to Christian/Muslim parents. He's more spiritual in general than "Christian".
Asdfp277 09.27.19	The satanic Christian cult of america must be abolished [3]
Sowing 09.27.19	Wtf is a satanic Christian cult. That conflicts by definition.
Storm In A Teacup 09.27.19	As if Christianity is American...dummy, yeah
Storm In A Teacup 09.27.19	Christianity is 2 billion people all over the world and didn't originate in the Americas. Kids these days...
RolyPoly 09.27.19	When did I say it did lol I live in america and that's what I'm concerned with because it has an impact on my life, its obviously a problem in other countries too Men these days
Asdfp277 09.27.19	could've easily said "the world" and it would be even better tbh
Sowing 09.27.19	But what even is that.
Storm In A Teacup 09.27.19	Ahaha you're a moron
Sowing 09.27.19	How can it have an impact on your life if it isn't real. Are you worried about satanism or christianity?
RolyPoly 09.27.19	https://www.sputnikmusic.com/images/members/190767.jpg
bananatossing 09.27.19	I would call myself a christian and studying other religions hasn't affected my faith at all. Quite the opposite. So how can christianity affect an atheist is beyond me.
Emim 09.27.19	@Source I'll give it a listen after work tonight and let you know. Our tastes seem to line up for the most part, lol
Source 09.27.19	sweet
Asdfp277 09.27.19	nobody answered me, is any of these bands homo/transphobic
heyadam 09.27.19	1,2,3,12,15 aren't for sure, but idk about any of the other ones

Storm In A Teacup 09.27.19	List is officially no bueno
BAT 09.27.19	five iron frenzy is the best third wave ska band
Storm In A Teacup 09.28.19	Seriously tho no one mentioned Emery in all of these comments fuck all of you
Storm In A Teacup 09.28.19	I mean sure people mention them but they should be the main topic.
Emim 09.29.19	e/
Source 09.29.19	extol/

Purpl3Spartan 11.02.21	Good list
MetalMarcJK 11.02.21	Mortification is pretty dope. I know plenty who dig them and yet aren’t Christian. Where’s Extol? [777]
