Evanescence - What You Want
Kings of Leon may have come around but they had fanatical parents that put them off faith in the early days. Disowned them to IIRC.
Amy Lee and Moody had a fallout because she didn’t want to be a christian rock band and moody left.
Evanescence doesn’t surprise me. “Bring Me to Life” is a cry to Christ from the deepest parts of the soul.
Great topic. Great comments.
Undercover was a local band from Fullerton.

The list missed a big one
Kansas
In the 1980s, Kansas was nearly all born again Christians and did a lot of Christian Rock
Spock’s Beard. Their album “Snow” is a not at all subtle allegory for the life of Jesus.
When Lifehouse’s “Hanging by a Moment” was released, I instantly loved it. But I wasn’t a Christian at the time, so I just thought it was a great love song.
However, this year (long after I had already become a Christian) I heard the song on Christian radio. While listening to the words with new ears, within the context of Christian radio, my mind was blown: “Hanging by a Moment” is a Christian song!
Former Grand Funk frontman Mark Farner became a devout Christian and I think he recorded some pretty good Gospel and Christian music.
What . . . ? The song is in a lot of pony videos, okay?
Master Guitarist Tommy Emmanuel is a Christian. Wonderful man and extremely talented Guitarist. Charlie Daniel is a Christian as well!
