Some of One Republics music is good. I LOVE Tenth Avenue North, a Christian band that does a lot of relevant songs to the everyday life. Josh Blakesley Band is a Catholic band which is good, Jackie Francois, Lifehouse, Jeremy Camp, Brandon Heath, Switchfoot, The Fray, JJ Heller, Leeland, One Sonic Society, and many others that I can't think of at the moment.

You could go with some of teh classics:
Bing Crosby
Frank Sinatra
Englebirt Humperdink
Louis Armstrong
Dean Martin


Or you could go with some praise and worship:
Jeremy Camp
David Crowder
Matt Maher
Jesse Manibusan
Casting Crowns


Or you could go with general Christian music:
U2
DCTalk
Five Iron Frenzy
Reliant K
Jars of Clay
Ceili Rain


There's tons of music out there. If you know of one band/artist that you already like, then it'd be a little easier to provide recommendations :).

I LOVE 5 Iron Frenzy!! In youth group (many moons ago) they were my absolute favorite band to see live. They came once with "The Ws" Most haven't heard of them so I was surprised to see them in your list!

I like Ho Hey by the Lumineers

and I really enjoy listening to The Head and the Heart, Mumford and Sons, Dubliners, and Michael Buble.

I like Dispatch, and O.A.R. They're like light rock/country ish kind of bands. They don't have Christian messages, but most of their songs are upbeat and fun to listen to. Great bike riding music :)

amesome, fun and hilarious rockabilly/punkabilly trio from Dallas
Great stuff to swing dance to. Killer guitar-work.

Very cool, very danceable 50s-influenced, San Antonio-based "countrybilly" band.

D.C.-based Irish/Celtic fiddlin' band. Everything from traditional Irish to Americana and Gypsy and Eastern European sounds.
I knew the guitarist and fiddler/vocalist growing up. The guys are all practicing Catholics.

Yes. All of this.
Also Luigi Boccherini. His Stabat Mater is more or less my favourite thing ever right now.

Not to mention his Minuet string quintet and Fandango.

You should look up K-Love. It's a Christian radio station...[url="http://www.klove.com"]http://www.klove.com[/url]

I love their music. Plus, there is a free song every week. :)

Scythian was at my city's Irish Festival! They're also fantastic live. :bounce:

Live is the best way to hear them.

(True of the other bands I listed as well.)
