ok, here's how it's gonna work, you vote for your favorite band between the pairings (1 vote per pairing, obviously). if you have suggestions for better pairings, just lemme know, I'm kinda improv-ing this. no need to vote for those who say "winner" next to them, I'll do a round two sometime...
Thousand Foot Krutch vs. RED
Relient K vs. Stellar Kart WINNER! RELIENT K!!!
Underoath vs. Showbread WINNER! SHOWBREAD!!!
Pillar vs. P.O.D. WINNER! PILLAR!!!
Mark Schultz vs. Brandon Heath
Stephan Curtis Chapman vs. Michael W. Smith
Newsboys vs. D.C. Talk WINNER! D.C. TALK!!!
Skillet vs. Disciple WINNER! SKILLET!!!
Toby Mac vs. KJ-52 WINNER! TOBY MAC!!!
Cross Movement vs. Grits WINNER! GRITS!!!
Lecrae vs. The Ambassador WINNER! LECRAE!!!
Tedashii vs. Flame
Sixpence None the Richer vs Jars of Clay
Casting Crowns vs Mercy Me

Petra vs. Whiteheart
Stryper vs. Whitecross WINNER! STRYPER!!!
Sandi Patti vs. Twila Paris
Amy Grant vs. Kathy Troccoli WINNER! AMY GRANT!!!
Theocracy vs. Demon Hunter
those are the pairings I could think that'd work. if you think of others, just tell me.
standings will be in next post

Give them my vote while you're at it.
can you think of a band relatively their style you'd like to put them up against?

I'll only vote on the pairings who I've actually heard:
Brandon Heath
Stephen Curtis Chapman
D.C. Talk
Toby Mac
My decisions are a little biased since I just saw Brandon Heath and SCC at Glory at the Gardens last week, and I went to college with DCTalk. My wife had classes with Toby Mac.
FWIW, Michael W. Smith's Secret Ambition is one of my favorite all-time songs.
-
Thousand Foot Krutch
Relient K
Showbread
Pillar
Mark Schultz
Michael W. Smith (very tough one, but Smitty's staying true to his sound better than SCC is)
D.C. Talk
Skillet
Toby Mac
Grits
Lecrae
Flame
Perhaps put Sixpence None the Richer vs Jars of Clay? I've seen the two grouped together on lists before, but I'm not sure why. Both are classic groups, anyhow. Alternately, iTunes Genius compares them to Jon Foreman's solo stuff...
What about Casting Crowns vs MercyMe?
[edit] The newly added:
Sixpence None the Richer
Casting Crowns
Gaither Vocal Band
Petra
Stryper
Twila Paris (Unless Sandi Patti is in a duet with Mark Lowry... ;))
Amy Grant
-
For old school, how about:
Gaither Vocal Band vs. Philips, Craig & Dean
Petra vs. Whiteheart
Stryper vs. Whitecross
Sandi Patti vs. Twila Paris
Amy Grant vs. Kathy Troccoli
-
No U2?
-
not a Christian band...
What about Casting Crowns vs MercyMe?
I like Casting Crowns.
-
:o
U2 is potentially the most "Christian" of any band currently making music.

Thousand Foot Krutch vs. RED
Relient K vs. Stellar Kart
Underoath vs. Showbread
Pillar vs. P.O.D.
Mark Schultz vs. Brandon Heath
Stephan Curtis Chapman vs. Michael W. Smith

Skillet vs. Disciple
Toby Mac vs. KJ-52
Cross Movement vs. Grits
Lecrae vs. The Ambassador

Hmm. My favorites didn't make the list.

OK, one from more recently: Attaboy.
-
I demand a matchup of Five Iron Frenzy (Personally my favorite band. RR would have my back) and Audio Adrenaline or Supertones if your looking to keep it Ska.. Because Ska does need some love.

Only other band I can think of that is more Metal than Theocracy is Demon Hunter... which is also not on that list.
