I don’t know why I haven’t asked you this before (since I am ever so nosy and all of that).
What kind of music do you listen to?
I generally listen to Christian radio…I have a radio in my kitchen and LOVE listening to Christian songs while I work.
My favorite group (currently) is Switchfoot. Somehow we ended up with their “Beautiful Letdown” CD. (Someone accidently left it at our house a couple of years ago…is it yours?) We keep it in the van and listen to it over and over. I love their song Twenty-Four.
And, well..you know I like this song and this one.
But I don’t know what kind of music you like listening to! Share! What do you like?
Feel free to sing to us in the comments as well. Singing is always appreciated.
I listen to Christian too! I like Natalie Grant, David Crowder Band, Mercy Me,Casting Crowns…and list goes on and on and on. Oh and Toby Mac..how could I forget him??? Fischer jams to Toby Mac with me in the car!
I love 70’s rock and the 50’s and the60’s but sometimes nothing will do but a good ol country song and there is nothing like driving through the fallen leaves with classical music blaring. The kids love it.
Well, i enjoy all types of music, but to soothe my soul Q102.7 The Word In Music is what I turn to. My fav is now the song,( don’t know the title) but the chorus is “it’s a slow fade, when you give yourself away, a slow fade, when black and white turn to gray.” and then at the end a child sings, “oh be careful little eyes what you see………” it gives me goose bumps. I think the spirit is sending it to me to share it with my 3-4-5th grade class tomorrow, so I am going to! and of course their will be a little TALK to go with it!!!
We listen to Air1 all the time. TobyMac would be our favorite artist right now. We were able to go to a concert last spring and my kids loved it.
When I do listen to music I generaaly listen to our collection of a capella Christian music. Once in awhile I listen to country music when driving.
Lately, my favorite genre of music has been country. I’ve added some to my iPod and recently when traveling, I choose the country station on the plane to keep my occupied.
we love david crowder band in our house… especially his first CD “All I can Say”; and I’ve been hooked on “Glory Revealed” lately too. We also enjoy Charlie Hall, Matt Redman and Chris Tomlin… basically the guys from “Passion”.
I love listening to christian music. I really enjoy all the artist everyone has already mentioned. My favorite artist right now is Casting Crowns. Chris Rice is very good also
I listen to my husband’s music. :) I actually am not really into listening to music. If I have an oportunity to listen to something while cooking, driving, cleaning, etc., I want to listen to books on tape or Focus on the Family broadcasts online, etc. I like to learn things and have my mind engaged while I do mundane things. Music definitely has a place, but the soundtrack of my life is a little different. This will probably change when I have a little brood of children around me, though.
My husband is totally different though. He LOVES music. He pays attentiont to each part of the music and gets very excited about new sounds or creative lyrics when he finds a new band. His favorite gift at Christmas is always a CD. We bought him Bose earphones and there probably isn’t another pair on earth more used, appreciated, and loved than his pair. In loving my husband, I’ve learned to love (much of) his music. I enjoy musicians such as Sufjan Stevens, Rosie Thomas, Pedro the Lion, Iron and Wine, Josh Ritter, Andrew Bird, Feist, and others.
We don’t listen to a lot of “Christian” music, although the first three on the list are definitely Christian musicians. It’s hard for us and our backgrounds to balance all of that, but my husband definitely chooses music for us to listen to with godly themes and that is clean. It’s hard to imagine raising children with his music in the background of our lives because it is so TOTALLY different from what I grew up listening to, but I think it will work out.
We listen mainly to Klove and Air1. But we also spent time in the house with classical, jazz, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s playing (hand picked on Rhapsody so we avoid anything icky)
Hi, I’m new here and look forward to visiting again.
I enjoy Hillsong praise and worship music. And most recently, my brother compiled a dozen or so of his piano compositions into his first cd. That has been enjoyable and I’m so proud of him.
I like Fernando Ortega, Chris Rice, Nicole Nordeman, Alison Krauss, Jars of Clay, City on a Hill…to name a few. :)
We listen to a lot of Christian rock. David Crowder Band is prob our favorite. We actually met David Crowder backstage at a concert at House of Blues last year! He was SOOOOO humble and congenial. His wife was a darling, too. We even met Phil Wickham at the same time, who is another artist we like. Third Day, Toby Mac, Tait, Matt Kearney, Shawn MacDonald…the list could go on and on.
You can listen to EXACTLY what we listen to if you’d like. We have the BEST Christian rock radio station in the country I think (89.7FM in Dallas), and they stream their signal over the internet at http://kvrk.com
I like listening to uplifting Christian music, such as that from Sound Forth, Majesty Music, the Old Fashioned Revival Hour Quartet with Rudy Atwood, etc.
I listen to Casting Crowns, most of the time. I also listen to Point of Grace and Travis Cottrell. I have just a few CD’s in the kitchen, and I tend to switch them out back and forth, when I’m washing dishes or cooking.
If I’m in the mood for non-Christian music, I listen to Karen Carpenter.
And now I need to go look up the lyrics to Switchfoot’s Twenty-Four. I listened to it, but I must have missed something because I didn’t understand it. (I need a nap, so that’s probably why!) :-)
We listen to Air1 mostly and a local christian rock station. The mainstream stations play the most foul-mouthed music. It’s nice to have such wonderful stations for my kids to listen to.
We mostly listen to Christian. John MacArthur has some great CD’s out that focus on the great hymns of the faith. We also like Mac Lynch, Ron Hamilton, Christian college choirs, ect.
I like the 60s music. I like to sing praise music at church but mostly the only music I listen to is me practicing the piano every day. This week I have a little Richard Wagner and a little Elvis Presley and lest I forget I also have the hateful Hanon’s finger exercises.
Roberta Anne
I’ll spare you my singing! LOL
I listen to Praise & Worship: the older stuff they wrote right from the Bible (like from the 80’s I think).
I generally have Christian music on K-LOVE or WMBI (Moody radio) playing throughout the day. I have tons of classical CDs from my days as a working violinist, but I just keep playing a few favorites that are good “family background music” – Bach, Vivaldi, Handel, Mozart. Nothing too “heavy”. Lately I have been cultivating my interest in jazz through the library’s CD section – Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis, Brubeck, Charlie Parker – and a great local community college jazz radio station. My youngest (age 4) loves jazz!
If it’s the radio, it’s either Christian Radio, or our national broadcaster CBC (news and culture). I became very aware of what is actually playing on the mainstream radio stations once my first baby was old enough to start listening and talking…I vividly remember one day where I changed the station 8 times because the songs were inappropriate for him to be hearing. So I just decided to switch it off.
Christian music! It’s wonderful! We have it hooked up in most places in the house so it’s the background most of the time…David Phelps, Nicole C. Mullen, Steve Green, Casting Crowns, Nicole Nordeman, Clay Crosse, Acappella, Vocal Union, Avalon, Aaron Shust, Gaither Vocal Band, Steve & Annie Chapman, Zoe Group,Oak Ridge Boys, and there’s more…plus, don’ forget the York College Choir!
I love Switchfoot also…and “Twenty Four” is definitely one of my favorites of theirs! I listen to a lot of Christian radio, but I also like other styles, like swing/big band music, some classical and choral, pop music like Sting, the Corrs, Sixpence None the Richer, Eisley, OneRepublic, Imogen Heap, and others. I am very careful about what songs/lyrics I let my young kids listen to, though.
I love love love music…. I have switched from loving country more to loving Christian music… probably 80% of the time when sewing or driving, I listen to christian radio…. some country and some Pop (I still am young at heart!) Music lifts me up when I am stressed! I bought that song from last week
“whatever you’re doing” and have probably listened to it 60 times… over and over… it has such great meaning!
I have a friend who doesn’t like music at all… only alittle, seems REALLY weird to me, but……
OH, I do NOT like my Hubbys music… it actually gives me a headache… just noise to me… he loves the 80’s Heavy metal stuff… UGH!
We listen to Christian and Classical. Wow! I think that’s the shortest comment I’ve ever made on here!!!!
I love Christian music as well. Just saw Switchfoot with Third Day this fall and I think it was one of the best concerts I’ve been to. I also really like Toby Mac, Casting Crowns, Matt Redman, Sara Groves, Jeremy Camp & Phil Wickham. I’m sure there is plenty more, but I can’t think of any more right now.
