There is also the “Dove Awards” for Christian music.

Yep. I used to keep up with some of that.

Some of the older Rockers made it out without being destroyed. One was Skynyrd's piano player Billy Powell. He's passed on now but at some point after the plane crash he became a Christian. My music varies widely. I like Traditional & Southern Gospel, Bluegrass, Country, Folk, & old Rock from 60's - mid 80's.

It's odd the radio's don't play Rockers Gospel music. Clapton did Swing Low Sweet Chariot, Don Henley recorded Uncloudy Day, Aaron Nevile recorded The Lord's Prayer, Charlie Daniels has done numerous Christian songs. What do they play instead? The Atheist Anthem "Imagine" by John Lenon. Even some misguided preachers play it in church. Read the lyrics very depressing. No Savior, no hope, no salvation, no nothing. But hey the world will be as one... NOT!

There is this theme - even accepted by some Christians - that Christian musicians are second-rate, and that is why they don’t have an impact. But it is a lie. Christian musicians are - quite simply - discriminated against.

Elvis was a Christian, Jerry Lee was a (very flawed) Christian, Fats was a Christian, Dion (DiMucci) was and is, a Christian.
