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:

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.

This thread may help a little:

1) Switchfoot-The beatiful Letdown.

2) D.C. Talk- GREATEST HITS

3) Jars of Clay- First Record

Yeah STRYPER!!!!!!!

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

Is POD not considered christian?

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.

speaking of stryper, they are working on another album

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?
