No kiddin' - goodness' sake, the forebear of 'Christian rock', Larry
Norman, was a pretty dang dark dude.  Not to mention 16 Horsepower, early
Deitiphobia, the Vigilantes, LSUnderground, and well...a whole lot of
others.

This is not to say that darkdarkdark Xian music is neccessarily better.  
From a standpoint of ratios, there's musically just as much dark crap as
Happy Young Christian crap.

But that's another story.  

<topic shift>

For you non-Christians out there - what with the plethora of us Christians
talkin' Xian music and theology, I'm kind of curious what sort of
perception of Christianity have you gotten from this list?  Does it differ
from your view of Christians at large?
