Christian Music

          When I was growing up most of the music I would listen to was Christian contemporary or Christian rock. I would hear this kind of music during chapel at the Christian school I went to, and out of all the music I was exposed to, it was the only kind that didn’t make me fall asleep, (like my parents music) or terrify me, (like my brothers’ music would). Though I no longer listen to the same music I grew up with, I would be lying if I said it didn’t influence my present taste in music.

          I have a tendency to listen to songs that are simple and catchy, like the music from my childhood. The only real difference is quality. Christian rock has a horrible reputation for being dull, and I can’t really argue with that most of the time. As I grew older and listened to other music genres, Christian rock just didn't hold up well; the music actually became a little annoying. I do not believe every single song in the genre is bad though. There are a few gems in the genre, such as Entertaining Angels by Newsboys, Give Me Your Eyes by Brandon Heath, Sneakin’ Into Heaven by Chris Rice, and Walking Her Home by Mark Schultz are all songs that for me at least are worth listening too.
