I don’t listen to much Christian music. Most modern worship sounds like Joshua Tree-era U2 to me. I prefer that faith-based acts not limit themselves to the Christian market, like Sufjan Stevens, Over The Rhine, or Amy Grant.
The best place to find talented Christian musicians is classical music – highly regarded composers like JS Bach, Olivier Messiaen, Handel, and Haydn were devout believers.
This page will never be particularly big, but I plan to add Keith Green and Larry Norman at some point. This page is largely a time capsule of my late teens and early twenties, circa the year 2000, when I made a conscious effort to listen to Christian music.
