Well my 7 year old wanted a christian rock cd, to give you ideas, he likes KUtless, casting crowns, but also likes things like linkin park. We went to a festival and saw some guy I thought was named tate(he was african american and I think that was his last name) he really wants that cd but I have no clue to the name of it? Any other ideas that are good?

You are thinking of Michael Tait. He just goes by Tait on his recordings. He was/is in D.C. Talk and he has a couple of solo discs out.

I heard that these guys can really rock:

Canis Firebrand

Go Stryper... 80's hair metal band with a Christian message.

I don't actively listen to Christian music, but I have heard music by christian bands.

Jars of Clay comes to mind.

There might be one other, but I can't recall.

2) D.C. Talk- GREATEST HITS

Blindside is pretty sweet, but may be a little heavy?

Is POD not considered christian?

Buford T Pusser

Newsboys aren't bad and are nice guys. I was talking to a few of them before a show and they told me they were big Cheap Trick fans.

Try these bands out for size:

Jars of Clay
Dishwalla
Switchfoot
P.F.R. (Pray For Rain -- "Goldie's Last Day" is an awesome tune)
Seventh Day Jesus
Plankeye (not too big on them, but they're popular in the Christian rock scene)
All-Star United
and most definitely, Relient K

Let me know how these suggestions pan out. Try downloading a tune or two from each band and see what settles in nicely.

Oh, yeah, like the poster two posts above mentioned, Newsboys ain't too shabby either.

christian rock...heh heh.

i think i detect an oxymoron...or possibly an irony.

seriously why would a parent subject his child to christian rock, why not instill good taste in him early by giving him Led Zepellin like my dad did?
