Hey! I really like As I Lay Dying. It's a heavy metal band. I absolutely love it. And yes, it IS Christian. I'll probably come back to this forum once I learn of more metal bands. I listen to more punk/rock christian bands :)

I'm not big on the hardcore emo screamo stuff, but if you like As I Lay Dying..

Try Underoath.. They're Christian too.. same kind of genre

You mention Derek Webb, but not Caedmon's Call? For the OP... If you like the folksy sound, Caedmon's Call is great, you probably won't dig their worship albums, but like, Long Line of Leavers, IMNSHO, is their best work ever! You might enjoy also 40 Acres. Lyrically, they are very thoughtful.

Funny, I always felt Long Line was one of their weaker releases.

Hello, Prexic!

This thread caught my attention since I actually already love much of what you've posted for music, especially Regina Spektor. It makes me want to tell you about my other favourite secular folk/rock/indie/etc. stuff. There's a lot of Christian music out there, and understandably there's a lot that I can't stomach. However there is great stuff out there, too! Don't feel the need to listen to *all* of this, just pick one or two. [:)] I went overkill. Also, I apologize in advance for the smattering of poor quality YouTube videos.

What I'd recommend:

Pedro the Lion - Bad Diary Days, Priests and Paramedics, Magazine (can't find the full song [:(]), or Lullaby, Diamond Ring (skip the story in the clip)
Okay, so I guess Pedro doesn't have always explicitly Christian songs. . . skip straight to Lullaby or Diamond Ring if you want the explicitly Christian lyrics.

The Benjamin Gate - Hands

Derek Webb - Wedding Dress (On his MySpace song list here)

Kendall Payne - Fail (Couldn't find the full song *sniff*) or Daddy

Jars of Clay - Jealous Kind (can't find a link) or Dig (ditto). They do have a new track Closer, which I just heard for the first time now, and it's catchy. Jars of Clay is really hit or miss, but when I love them I really love them.

Five Iron Frenzy - On Distant Shores (Terrible video, good song - SKA alert - if you hate ska, you won't enjoy this)

Relient K - Less is More (and as an aside - they're really fun in concert. Take, as an example, their song dedicated to The Office)

Thousand Foot Krutch -Lift It, When In Doubt, Small Town Old punkish rock stuff. I guess it's not that original, but I enjoy it.

Uh - I should probably stop there, eh? [sm=icon_smile_blush.gif]

And Rilo Kiley! (She MAY be an atheist, but she hasn't come right out and said it yet)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=EGzL6IKTJW0 (Warning: 'F' word.. but in a very sweet way..)

Ok, and here's one of my favorite songs ever.. but I'm not sure if anyone here will like it. It's a very acquired taste.

It's slightly blasphemous, and says GD.. But it's not that bad..
