 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?

Re: religious songs that don't suck 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.

Re: religious songs that don't suck there was this hardcore band called Unashamed that did a version of Our God Is An Awesome God. It's pretty sweet!

Re: religious songs that don't suck Doug Martsch - "Woke Up This Morning With My Mind On Jesus" (I'm sure this is a cover, but I love Doug's version.)

Re: religious songs that don't suck 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)

Re: religious songs that don't suck you beat me to it. Great record! One of the grittiest bands playing the most soulful music. Oblivions are boss! Badman is one of the best songs ever. otis redding and johnny cash can't go wrong as well.
