Good question, FWIW In case i have not said this I like Contempory Christian 
Music in as much as i like contempory spiritual music, i just wish there were 
alternatives.

I think some of them are being ignored because there is a concern that there 
belifs or there lyrics might be offencive, but in most cases i think it is just 
because they are ordinary.

What are there songs again?.

Aha, and they do?.

Sounds like we might have Camouflage Chritianity there, which is The Most 
dangerous kind, or can be, what are there songs?.

 > but I only have one album by them),


Which is?.

 > Evanescence I think was considered one at one point (I think maybe some/all

Aha.

 > but maybe their music is secular).


There music might be Seculer but i would not be surprised if any or all of them 
are Christian, or at least deeply spiritual because there music and certainly 
there videos do seem to contain a good, deep, spiritual aspect.

 > Anyway, does anyone else have thoughts on this (if this is on topic)?


See above, and yes i do think we are still on topic.
