Welcome to Gaia! ::

I been hearing alot about what's Christian music and what's not. Although I haven't listened to alot of music I have listened to some bands who claim they are Christian bands but you don't hear anything at all about Christ in the lyrics. I don't questioin their faith, nor do I quesiton their intentions or if their following God or not. I do question whether they should be considered as Christian Rock, Rap, and whatnot. I'm actually curious to see what ya'lls defenition of Christian Music. I sometimes wonder if people label Christian Music as music that's clean and good to listen to. In my opinion I don't believe that's Christian Music. When I think of Christian Music or Christian Rock I think of songs that speak of Christ. (DC Talk for example) Some may argue that if it speaks of bible verses then they are a Christian Band. (For example P.O.D) But the only reason why you can't consider that as Christian music is because that would mean songs like Highway to Hell -AC/DC would be considered a Christian Metal song and in which in reality it's not even close. But anyway back to the topic, what do ya'll think about Christian Rock, Christian Rap and Christian Music in general? How do ya'll define what's Christian and what is of the world? What makes a Christian Rock band or rapper a Christian artist.

I think that to be a Christian band you should talk about God in your songs.
Although, i suppose everyone being christian and in a band could also be considered a "christian band" 'cause they are all christian...but, i still think that you should talk about God in your songs for it to be counted as an actual christian band.

U2 talks a lot about God (in a good way) in their songs.
Are they a Christian band?
