That's an interesting thought.
The Lord would be hanging out with sinners. By hanging out with them He would be listening to and seeing all kinds of things that would not necessarily be edifying.
Does the Lord only like Gospel Music? It is the best music out there but how would we know???
I noticed that music has an effect on my mood. Some music makes me feel like fighting, some makes me sad, some makes me happy. I suppose it is important to know how the music is affecting you.
I specifically listen only to Christian music because I don't want the things of the world to have any grip on me. I don't know if music affects you the way it affects me...

I listen to all kinds of music. I also play it. most of the stuff we play is christian, we have even written some christan songs, but not all of it is.
I listen to led zeppelin, pink floyd and many others. I read steven king (or did for many years) all my friends also do this.
It did not make me a crazy, horrible sinner, Nor did it change my mind about God or keep me from doing Gods things. There is nothing wrong with it scriptural. and as grandpa so rightly said, if we are to go into the world, we are going to have to listen to this stuff.
however, if it does affect us, or we can't separate fantasy from reality and struggle. i would say it would be dangerous to do these things,

More on what Grandpa said, our relationship with music is a two way street. You can listen to music to change your mood or match your mood.
If you're listening to angry music, but don't want to feel angry, then chances are good that you're already angry about something and aren't really aware of it. Same goes for other things- happy music, sad music, sleazy/sexy music, etc. It's not just about lyrical content, but the big picture.
Music is an emotional expression and it affects our emotions whether we're aware of it or not. You can use it as a tool to identify and deal with your emotions or enhance what you're already feeling. It's a beautiful thing!

I derive inspiration to overcome sin from listening to secular rock music sometimes. The words don't mean a lot to me... just the feel of the music. It's good to have both good words and good sound, but I usually listen to the way a song sounds first and then check on the words, especially since they're unintelligible most times.
I figure if the words were important then they'd be sung a couple decibels over the rest of the music.
