In fairness, there WAS A TIME when Christian pop-metal Bands put out music every bit as cool as Black Sabbath's "War Pigs". (Which is sayin' something -- a lot, in fact)
The time was twenty years ago, and the band (who were distinctly referring to themselves as a "christian band" at the time, what with the success of Stryper and all) was the Irish Catholic band U2.
Now, you may object, that U2 has not called themselves a "christian" Band in the last 20 years. I would point out, however, that U2 has not put out a stitch of plausibly Good Music in the last 20 years!!
Coincidence? You be the judge.
But both "Christian" and "Secular" Music has been an absolute spiritual wasteland for at least the last Ten Years.... and of that, I'll be the judge.
best, OP
I was just sent the Dischord 20th anniversary box set.
I'm officially old.
Amen to that. Kind of like junk food.
Sorry, but most wounds in life are self-inflicted. I know far too many people who see only one side of a person and ignore the things they don't like. Love multiplies this partial vision. Then, ten years later, when the guy or gal they married isn't as handsome or exciting or [fill in superficial quality here] as they used to be, and all of the negative quilities that were there all along have become impossible to ignore, these short-sighted lovers want my sympathy. Sorry, love doesn't have to be blind...
