what Christian Worship Music do you listen to?

[amazingmumof6]

I love Kutless, Tim Hughes and have some Songs 4 Worship CDs.

What else would I like?

What do you listen to?

[findingme]

I'm trying to find some Christian music that is to my taste too so will watch this thread. I like some Matt Redman (10,000 reasons is one of my favourite worship songs), and I know Skillet are a bit heavier than you might like, but they have a live worship album called Ardent Worship which Is definitely worth a listen. If you do like heavier stuff then I can recommend more. What are your favourite worship songs?

[Raindrops0nRoses]

I like most of the songs that are played on UCB radio. If you've never listened before I would recommend it. My favourite Christian band is Rend Collective Experiment. They are like a Christian version of Mumford and Sons.

[ZingWidge]

thanks for your replies!
findingme I love loads of different ones (just namechanged!), I fast ones, ballad types, gospel things - all good.
I like trad. hymns too.

even kids' Bible songs!

raindrops - how do I find UCB? what frequency etc?

I have very sensitive ears (hyperacusis), so I don't ever listen to the radio, as unless it's tuned very well I just can't bear the electrical noise of it

but I would love to give UCB a go! maybe I can listen to it through my Smartphone?
I did listen to either that station or something similar in someone else' car and the chat bit was brilliant!

how do I find Christian radio stations?( this is exciting!)

[Raindrops0nRoses]

Unfortunately UCB isn't available on normal FM radios, but it is on DAB digital radio. There are a few different stations - I listen to UCB UK but there is also a gospel station and an 'inspirational' station. Or you can listen online at UCB.co.uk, or it's on sky and virgin media. There is also a smartphone app.

Get hillsong zion its amazing especially the song oceans x

[madhairday]

Raindrops I was going to say Rend Collective, I love their stuff especially the new album. I'm into Mumford and Sons so it follows - also like David Crowder Band who are similar, more indie in style with folksy and old southern gospel stuff, it's really fabulous and worth a listen to - try their newer album Give us rest

I like Gungor, Starfield, Casting Crowns, Switchfoot (a bit more rocky in feel with country style riffs), some Matt Redman/Chris Tomlin/Hughes et al, though find all that gets a bit samey (apart from the most excellent 10,000 Reasons of course!)

I like Owl City for a different more techno sound, lyrics not overtly Christian but the band members are and there are some gems in there.

Would second Hillsong Utd 'Zion' - was getting a bit bored of the whole Hillsong sound, but this is a welcome departure - really refreshing with great lyrics and some genius eighties-esque sounds. 'A million suns' is particularly memorable.

I like Newsboys and YFriday for a more mainstream sound.

Sure I will think of some more....if I could choose one to go for, I'd say the David Crowder one.

Casting Crowns "until the whole world hears"

[ZingWidge]

is Mumford a Christian band?

[Raindrops0nRoses]

No Mumford isn't a Christian band but Rend Collective sound similar to them with a Christian message. My favourite is their version of Be Thou My Vision

[madhairday]

Mumford and Sons are not a Christian band overtly, but their lead singer is from a Christian background and seems to have a faith - many of the lyrics point to that etc etc - lovely stuff. Marcus Mumford's parents are pastors in the Vineyard movement. Either way, they're genius :)

[GameSetAndMatch]

yeah, UCB radio plays good music.

my faves to listen to are rock/pop types like DC TAlk, Newsboys, jars of Clay. PFR,Cliff Richard,For Him.

worship writers and stuff like that- Graham Kendrick, Noel Richards, Martin Smith, Stuart Townend.

olde worlde hymny stuff- gotta be the Wesleys!

im sure ill think of more, i make my own cd compilations of favorite songs from my cds collection.

[GameSetAndMatch]

Brian from backstreet boys is a christian, and Jonas brothers are supposed to be although Joe made a solo cd with a parental advisory sticker on so dont know about that!

and I love God Rocks. a canadian youth band. brilliant stuff.

[SchrodingersFanny]

I like Rend Collective. I've seen them live at an event for Shane Claiborne.

I also like Jesus Culture.

[GameSetAndMatch]

ooh, 'Down here' are good too, think theyre an Irish band, theyre really good.

and WH Smith! (thats Michael W Smith!)

[GameSetAndMatch]

the band PFR. PFR means pray for rain. yes plese!!

so at the mo no shine jesus shine, its rain in me, the lord rains,flood by jars of clay!, as the deer pants for the water.....

[ZingWidge]

lots of ideas so far, thank you!

[suchawimp]

I like The Gaithers, The Farm Girls, Guy Penrod, and The Peasall Sisters.

LOVE -

[PandaG]

what about The Gentlemen, Phillipa Hanna, Pete James, Gareth Robinson (get his best of - is a contemporary of Tim Hughes) [the last 2 have both been worship leaders at our church, so I am biased, but they are great - Madhair will agree with me re Pete if not Gareth!]

[Tommy]

thanks for this - will keep an eye out for some of these

[OrchidFlakes]

Check out Tonex - American gospel vocalist. Pretty out there but inspiring sound

[IneedAyoniNickname]

Sounds of salvation.
Luke Leighfield
Jose Vanders
Hillsong

[CountryMama]

Rend collective are great. I often get the new wine or soul survivor cd which come out every autumn-ish.

[Gunznroses]

ooh I love Kutless too! (fav - take me into the Holy of Holies), love Robin mark (fav-when its all been said and done), Hillsong, Matt Redman, Avalon and GLAD.

[Gunznroses]

OP try Petra, I used to really like them but haven't heard anything of theirs for years its in the same genre of Kutless, I did a very edgy version on 'Awesome God'

[Gunznroses]

oh and also 'Promise Keepers' (love their version of 'a mighty fortress'
