semi interesting read. you really should inform your parents that they probably did you the worlds biggest possible disservice for the majority of your childhood though.
What sounds lead you into metal?

That was my childhood too. My favorites in those days were Jars of Clay and Third Day, but the ones you mentioned were really popular and I listened to them alot. Then I stoped listening to music for 4 or so years. One year being where I challenged the elders of the Church of Christ regarding their interpretation of the Bible which led to half the people in my church leaving and me being hated/feared by many townsfolk. Then I went on an internet search looking for a band that suited me. I found Opeth.
My parents (who no longer care if I listen to non-christian music but get worried about growling) have stoped listening to music and are letting me sell all their cd's. (I'm going to McKay's tommarow). I'm keeping about 10/140.

As a child, hmm that was pre-beatles, mom and dad had old records of
Ernest Tubbs,Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, and we went to the Grand Ole Opry quite a bit down in Nashville.
The Beatles came along and that was it.

By the way, when I say "Old Christian bands," they were new at the time. That's all there was. dc Talk, Audio Adrenaline, Jars of Clay... none of this new fan-dangled stuff like Third Day. That wasn't until high school when Christian music decided it wanted to try to sound like popular music. Too bad they were always 3-5 years behind.
I got Third Day's debut when it came out in 1996 and Jars of Clay was 1995. I don't know why you seperate them like that. and yes, lol, very behind. The Newboys sound like early 80's.

I'm just bashing Third Day cause I've always dislikd them. Want to block them entirely out of my memory.
It's really sad. It's such a waste. And Christians feel obliged to listen to them because they are "uplifting" and "Christian" and whatnot. It's a big moneymakign scheme, a mostly talentless sespool of ignorance. Most is worse than secular pop music.

yeah, this is just bringing back tons of bad memories.
My friend, who is training to become a pastor, has sold all of his albums.
I'm trying to find good "genuine" Christian music so that he doesn't give up on it entirely like I did. Judee Sill for example.

I still listen to some of the old stuff. Ihaven't followed any of the new stuff, really. I liked Newsboys worship stuff, a couple of Christian hardcore bands.

It was my mom, basically. Her reasoning was shaky at best. She's okay with it now, I guess. So long as she hears no swear words.NineFeetUnderground said:
I remember listening to Zao and she walked in and was kind afreaked by the vocals and told me she only wanted me to listen to Christian music. I had to explain to her that it was. She was skeptical.
Then it was it had to at least have no parental advisory label.
Each time her resistance changed, it was my sister's fault. She somehow got my mom to become more lenient.

Oh, she doesn't. She just doesn't care anymore sans swear words. I mean to say she isn't put off by it on her own personal level unless she hears swearing. I don't know why that's her issue. Swearing is everywhere all the time. No clue why music should be any different.
