Just curious to hear if you have any favorite Christian singers or bands?

[4nrmike]

My favorite all time Christian band is Hokus Pick, a Canadian band big in the 90's.

Ya gotta love a group that names one of its top albums after a hockey player.

I like Third Day, Reliant K, DC Talk, Bleach, Switchfoot, Sonic Flood, Skillet, Audio Adrenaline, Newsboys...

I've never heard of Hokus Pick. There was a ska band my dh listened to that was Canadian.... can't think of the name off hand.

I recently got the Chris Tomlin cd and love it.

[MJ7]

I've heard the name. What are some of the songs?

[HBKitmitto]

Oh he's great. His BIG song this year is "How Great Is Our God"

Really good cd. We used it in our praise and worship at our house this past week.

I love that song. Usually don't pay too much attention to the names of singers.

I really enjoy worship CD's like those put out by Sonic Flood, Third Day and Newsboys.

Okay--sort of related and sort of not. My daughter who is 7 going on 30 has decided she loves pop music. She loves our "kids worship" CD's (the ones with popular worship songs but sung by kids) but she recently asked for new music. So. . .I played for her Newsboys thinking this is cool--right? Well, I'm old and not cool and she did not like the Newsboys. I think they are too "alternative" for her.

Anyone have any good suggestions for music to buy her that is "poppy"? She would like things like Hannah Montanna (the clean Disney pop tartlet music) and she would like Hillary Duff--stuff like that. --she also really likes my gospel music but that's another story. She and I love Mary Mary but the rest of the house is not too thrilled.

I like Aaron Shust and Casting Crowns

I love Casting Crowns too. Hmmm... what about googling in your local Christian pop music station and see what's popular where you are. I like the alternative music so I am not personally aware of more of the pop bands. I like Rebecka St James, your dd might like her?
Here is something from a local radio station here where you can sample some top Christian hits: http://www.klove.com/music/

You might be able to find something locally where you are.
