Mine are:
The Beatles
Skillet
Stryper
Apologetix
dc Talk
Flyleaf
Red
Demon Hunter

and I have a lot of stuff I listen to by random artists.

Larry Norman is the father of Christian rock and any Christian band today needs to thank him for paving the way. Bands that should thank him include people back to Petra, Keith green, Stryker, Randy Stonehill

Man I am so thankful for Larry bc I love me some skillet and a little Jesus Freak or Shine is never a bad choice.

I never got into Red. Just never did. Don't like the lyrical themes as well.

Weird. I looked at your list of favorite artists and I was like, "we must have pretty similar tastes in music!" Then I saw your favorite songs and I was like, "wait wut."

The reason for my favorite artists is that I really like to listen to a WIDE variety of music.  A few of my favorite songs are there because of some experience in my life that they are connected to, but if you notice most of them have VERY STRONG elements of harmony, which is one of my highest priorities in whether I am naturally attracted to a song.

I also came up with that list before I had really gotten into Ragtime and Babershop so those are underrepresented.  It also was several years ago, so recent songs that I like a lot (like "We are Young" by FUN) aren't represented either.

Muse

Any guy here that likes One Direction will get lots of hate mail...
