I don't listen to christian music, but I get a lot of students that play worship and I had somebody show me these guys. When I think of christian rock I think of these guys. Because of Jesus - Whitecross |

Because of Jesus - Whitecross | I know lots about the King's X story and didn't think it all needed to be included here. But I think no matter how you classify the band, the song "We Were Born To Be Loved" is a Christian themed song. Hence the inclusion of the song.

These guys only put out one album in about '96, but they are/were Gordon Kennedy and Jimmy Lee Sloas. Gordon co-wrote Clapton's Change The World and Jimmy Lee is one of Nashville's top session bassists. They also produced several albums for PFR. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0o108lc8lU |

Oh, and my girlfriend listens to these guys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEMegwcNihc

Better lyrics theologically than most Christian bands.
The thing that sets these guys apart for me, is that most Christian bands are maybe "good for a christian band" or "alright by Christian standards, but totally sub-par compared to more universal standards" while Theocracy (with the most recent album, anyway) is not good only by Christian standards, but by any prog/power metal standard. Solid band.
