if you poke around this section of the forum there are a number of threads about Christian rock, and one in particular about Christian metal with 100 pages of videos.

also, here's some Christian rock from Wovenhand, who just put out a new album. if i had $$$ i'd buy and send a copy of his last record to everyone who ever asks about Christian Rock. then again, i like a lot of music that isn't apparently that popular, so maybe that's why i don't have $$$

I don't listen to exclusively Christian music. For some that may be an issue, but the music I listen to is virtually harmless at the same time. I think music is all about interpretation, and I am speaking from a musicians perspective, as I am somewhat of a solo artist.

Hah... anyways, I would recommend these in no particular order:

Band of Horses
Skillet
3 Doors Down
Breaking Benjamin
Jimmy Eat World
Pink Floyd
Kansas
Rush
The Who
The Eagles
Tom Petty & The Heart-breakers
Staind
Finger Eleven

Can't think of anything else at the moment. That's a pretty good list though.

Just seems like a narrow-minded view of worship -- there are lots of different types of music that honor God.

That might be true, but if he doesnt like lets say rap, then the fact that it honors God probably won't change his opinion on the music style. I don't like rap and I have a friend who is a rapper. No one big mind you but he does perform locally. I support him completely but I dont like his stuff. Its just not my genre.

Just because he's requesting one style doesn't mean that's all he listens to. Perhaps he's just in the mood for rock, and has a wide variety of other styles. You're just making assumptions and being judgmental.
And really, if that IS all he likes, what do you care? Why not let people enjoy what they enjoy and God work in their lives that way, rather than making it your goal to criticize and instruct people on what their personal tastes in music are? It's, quite honestly, none of your business if that's all he wants to listen to. I don't think he needs you calling him narrow minded over it.

Ugly, I didn't call him narrow-minded! You're putting words into my mouth!

I'm a music professional, and I know the benefits to listening to ALL types of music.

What got me was his use of the phrase "of course" -- like there is no other type of Christian music. I keep seeing good sacred classical music being pushed out of the church. I'm a HUGE advocate of blended worship, using all types of music in praise and worship.

I think what matters most is the lyrics, not necessarily the genre. A person can like any genre they want, either exclusively towards others or open to all. Besides, we should not confuse worship with entertainment. You're able to worship God without music. Matter of fact, our lives are a worship to God when we walk in His Light. What glorifies God worships God.
