Mainstream Christianity Shows It's Lameness... Again.

Guitar Praise: Solid Rock

Yes, they tried and failed to actually rock with real bands so now they're trying to show just how much christian rock sucks by ripping off Guitar Hero. Check out the song list, it's like some one decided to name ever single lame christian rock band of the five years.

I own CDs for probably 7 or 8 of the bands on there and even I think that looks like a lame list. Some of those songs are very old and a far, far cry from "rock." I really haven't kept up with the Christian music scene for the last five years or so, and whenever I hear stuff from newer bands it sounds cheesy. I'm not sure if the quality of the industry went down or I just grew out of it. Maybe some of both.

Best Christian Rock Band ever:

Faith + 1

This timeless classic:

"I wanna get down on my knees and start pleasing Jesus
I wanna feel his salvation all over my face..."

And who could forget this one:

"Don't ever leave me, Jesus. I couldn't stand to see you go
My heart would simply snap, my Lord, if you walked on out that door
I promise I'll be good to you, and keep you warm at night
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, why don't we just shut off the lights"

Gaz, you just named the five co-headliners for Suckfest '08. For “F”'s sake, Lifehouse?
