Sixpence None the Richer needs to be on there.


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?

Not really.

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.

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

not a Christian band...

What about Casting Crowns vs MercyMe?

I like Casting Crowns.

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
Newsboys vs. D.C. Talk
Skillet vs. Disciple
Toby Mac vs. KJ-52
Cross Movement vs. Grits
Lecrae vs. The Ambassador
Tedashii vs. Flame

I'll vote on (or against) who I've heard as well.
I vote for....
RED
not Reliant K so Stellar Kart
pass
I've not heard Pillar but P.O.D to me was faddish
Mark Schultz  (almost strickly for "He's my Son")
ooo...a toss up...M W. Smith doesn't sound good live so I vote for Steven Curtis Chapman
ooo..another toss up....ummm.....DC Talk
Skillet
Toby Mac
pass
pass
pass

Thousand Foot Krutch
Relient K (Gotta Support my Buckeyes!)
Underoath
Pillar (When's the last time POD put out an album???)
Mark Schultz (One of the better storytellers)
Stephan Curtis Chapman (Nothing against worship but it seems that's all Michael does anymore...)
Newsboys (Something Beautiful will be played during our slideshow at the reception)
Skillet (Last Night still gives me goosebumps)
KJ-52 (TobyMac is overrated)
Grits
Lecrae
Tedashii

Buckley sang hallelujah. Does that count?

Thousand Foot Krutch vs. RED --- Thousand Foot Krutch (ouch that was a hard choice >.<)
Relient K vs. Stellar Kart --- Relient K
Underoath vs. Showbread ---  Showbread
Pillar vs. P.O.D. --- Pillar (another hard choice)
Mark Schultz vs. Brandon Heath --- Mark Schultz
Stephan Curtis Chapman vs. Michael W. Smith --- Michael W. Smith
Newsboys vs. D.C. Talk --- D.C. Talk
Skillet vs. Disciple --- Skillet (geez, some of these are hard)
Toby Mac vs. KJ-52 --- KJ-52
Cross Movement vs. Grits --- Grits
Lecrae vs. The Ambassador --- Lecrae
Tedashii vs. Flame --- Flame

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.

Pillar
Brandon Heath
Stephan Curtis Chapman

Toby Mac
Cross Movement
The Ambassador
Tedashii
Sixpence None the Richer
