    I got a bunch of iTunes gifts cards for Christmas, and I have found a couple albums I am currently enjoying, but for the most part, a lot of Christian music sucks. Almost every worship song is playing the same 1-6-5-4 chord progression in the key of E, and most Christian sub-genres look and sound the exact same as their secular counterparts. I thought Christians were to be “in the world, but not of the world.” Is the Christian music industry an exception? Where are the creative artists?

    I’ll be reserving my iTunes gift cards until I get some good recommendations. For now, these are some Christian artists I have been enjoying:

    • Derek Webb
    • Shane & Shane
    • Indelible Grace Music
    • Caedmon’s Call
    • Scott Phillips

    What artists have you been enjoying? Any recommendations for artists that glorify God and don’t try to look and sound like the status quo?
