P.O.D. was pretty good

>Bach
>Bruckner
>Mozart
>Sweelinck
>Mahler
And if we're talking just subject matter, every composer who ever wrote a mass or general sacred piece of music (90% of the people in the Classical canon)

Retarded that you assume that Christian music is bad because all you heard was crappy pop music made by protestants, some of the greatest masterpieces in the classical repertoire are sacred works

>>126857975 (OP)
Because i'm gatekeeping the good stuff from you heathen blasphemer.

You can't sing about anything other than praying, fighting the Devil inside you, or thanking God for your wife and kids. It doesn't make for interesting lyrics. At least hedonistic rap songs can be a form of escapist fantasy.

Probably due to the disingenuous and two-faced nature of christians.
You don't have to be part of the church to believe in christ. Infact, christians will make your life hell right next to oy veys and hindus.

In order to have a good song you need a good story, which involves conflict, and most Christian music revolves around sucking off Jesus' circumcised dick so it ends up cringe and lame.
Not all Christian music is like this however, there are entire Orchestral Suites dedicated to Christianity that sound heavenly. Then you have songs with strong religious themes but endless Christ dicksucking takes a backseat like a lot of Blues

Christmas songs like Silent Night, Noel, and The Little Drummer Boy are some of the best music ever made.

What we associate with 'Christian music', is usually made by suburban American Evangelicals. It's corny dogshit because pretty much everything made by that demographic is. Catholic, Orthodox and even Anglican music can be pretty good. Not the type of stuff I'd put on my playlist, but still.

>>126862070
Mortification has two good albums (scrolls and that one) but everything else they've done is horrible

>>126857975 (OP)
gospel

>>126857975 (OP)
Only when CHristianity is the main selling point. Christian music that isn't advertised as "Christian music" can be alright.

Popol Vuh is christian??? I thought they just used Christian imagery. If anything they seem to take a lot of Eastern influences. Regardless they have good soundtracks and the Einsjager et Siebenjager album is great. Never got into their other stuff

Good song but you guys are too self aware to like something that's popular that's not pitchfart-core

Contemporary Christian music and gospel sucks because it's made with the wrong intention. The art takes a backseat and, as a result, you get bad art. Doesn't matter though, because the audience for this material isn't in it for the art anyway.

There's tons of great Christian music, and there's tons of great music made by Christian artists — Gregorian chants are great, Sufjan Stevens is great, Christmas carols are great — but contemporary Christian music like gospel and Christian rock and whatnot tends to suck ass.

Well, Florian Fricke claimed to be something of a non-denominational Christian with syncretized Hindu terminology. Take that for what you will.

If it wasn't for BME Pain Olympics (yes that video) I would've never heard of them to begin to with.

>>126857975 (OP)
Black Sabbath is alright, actually.

because their theology is usually "Jesus is my boyfriend" gibberish

authentic christian rap would be imprecatory prayers from the psalms, sounding like Rage Against the Machine

>>126857975 (OP)
I blame U2.

I have a theory that he secretly and tragically passed away after DONDA.
You cannot convince me that the same man who made Jesus is King; The College Dropout, Yeezus and MBDTF- also made his last 4 projects.

Fake news.
