Post religious songs that don't suck
i get in arguments sometimes with the jars of clay/michael w smith crowd about contemporary christian rock and how bad i think it sucks.

i'm trying to compile a list of good religious themed songs to counter the christian rock songs

what is it exactly? it's like if a band completely devotes their time to religious pop music, i just find it very annoying. is it just me or is that music just generally bad?

i heard the song 'rotten apple' by alice in chains (seems to be religious themed) this morning which is what made me start thinking about this.

the line "people say that i've found a way to make you say that you love me" has the brainwashing proof, from the thoughts of one of those extremist christian cult leaders....

Doug Martsch - "Woke Up This Morning With My Mind On Jesus" (I'm sure this is a cover, but I love Doug's version.)

These are not traditional "praise god" songs, in fact they are probably the opposite. Critical of god/religion

Morrissey - I have forgiven Jesus
Streetlight Manifesto - Forty Days

Oh...
Joan Osborne - What if God was one of us (it doesn't suck as much as Christian Rock)
