Stick with Gospel/Soul and Folk.

Avoid rap and rock at all costs.

The GOAT.

I'm assuming Dylan's Christian music is shit. Never heard it, but it was after his voice went to anus.

This is the best
I'm not religious but this album is the closest I've ever come to being religious

>>74498015
Are you meming or is it really that good? Don't fucking meme me.

>>74498044
No it's unironically good

I know the cover makes it look like a Memphis Rap album but it's actually an incredibly well textured post-rock/shoegaze concept album about Texas being the holy land during Christ's second coming.

If you don't believe me

>>74498044
It's a shoegaze/post-rock double concept album about the second coming of Christ in Texas. Listen if it appeals to you

>>74498081
Holy shit what. Why is this so life changing and good?

Damn. This is probably the happiest I've ever been with a /mu/ rec, mostly because it's so.... surprising and different. I mean, most stuff I'd probably eventually find on my own but this is... dang.

>>74498107
Fair warning though, it does the thing where the last track is 30 minutes long but it's actually 10 minutes with a bonus track at the end. Just telling you right now before you get extremely disappointed.

For people that actually listened to them, their albums were mostly hard rock, the singles were radio-friendly but they were all great stuff.

I'm pretty sure that Mark Hollis himself isn't actually a Christian, but this album's lyrics deal heavily with Christian themes..

I wish Christian music approached their themes in more abstract ways. I want more primal spirituality, more walls of noise heralding the coming of God, more poetic lyrics (and more diverse lyrical content than "You are mah godddd n u lif the chains frum my necck."
Because then you end up with shit like this

It's weird, because Christianity was the driving force behind most art and popular culture many years ago, and now there's hardly any Christianity in the mainstream culture. Guess that's just how history and society works.

If you're looking for more rock/emo, I think Hotel Books deals with faith themes. Same with Have Mercy

>>74497710
I'm not even religious and this is a good album. Cover is HORRIBLE, but I think it was meant to be ironic.

>>74500596
Yeah. If I remember, he even said that the themes were meant to be more universal, rather than just in one faith. Except I Believe in You, which everyone thinks is an obviously Christian song. Hollis came out and said it was an anti heroin song.

Current 93 is the greatest. The lyrics cover christianity and other fairytales / ideologies in a cool way

>I want more primal spirituality, more walls of noise heralding the coming of God
Back in the days when pretty much music's only purpose was in the church, everyone had a crisis about "muh material pleasures" and "emotional powers of music too stronk" but I don't really know how thought has moved past that point. Obviously Christians nowadays don't really care about that. Some might.

>>74498081
Neat song, kinda wtf because I generally really dislike religion and religious messages.

The 1980 demo version of Every Grain of Sand (included on the Bootleg Vols 1-3 album) is easily one of the best recordings of his career, there's also a few other gems from the period but for the most part it isn't worthwhile and also, it's not not necessarily your flavor of Christian, especially on Slow Train Coming it's a very angry sort of Christianity

Two Christian classic songs I find myself returning to a lot these days are Jerusalem by Simon Finn and I Have Seen Him by Dave Bixby

George Michael
Madonna
Zz top
Soul savers
Mark Lannegan
Qotsa did that one song
Earth's last album maybe
Velvet underground
Hopsin struggles with faith
Nick Cave


You've pretty much got my whole brain on here . My favourite song! Spirit in the sky

Whatever happens God will save us. Amen.

>>74504166
>Spirit in the sky
Fuck off, Oh Happy Day by the Edwin Hawkins Singers was the superior classic from that era

Gold by Starflyer 59 is a pretty decent shoegaze album

>>74503857
Nice

Judee Sill. Someone thread me

Kendrick Lamar has unironically a lot of nice Christian messages in his music, but you probably knew that. You can hear it in Sing About Me, How Much A Dollar Cost, Loyalty..
