I know this sounds harsh, but most Christian music is sub par. It's all a bunch of forty somethings that were Christians when they were our age, and there wasn't any Christian music in the style that they liked, so now they make that kind of music, which appeals to a few forty somethings. OR, it's some one my age that doesn't know how to make their own sound, so they just copy whatever they think is popular at the time. There are some good Christian songs, but most of them are, like I said, sub par. And you feel guilty for not liking them as much as a talented secular artist. Also, it is important to note that some times the best praise songs are performed by secular artists. My Sweet Lord by George Harrison is a fine example. Harrison did not intend it as a Christian song, but it can still be used as such. Matisyahu, far from secular, but still not Christian, has written some amazing praise songs. Songs that have brought me to tears when I sing along and worship.
one christian, one not
