We listen to it sometimes but we hear a LOT of it in church (that's where I think it crosses the line.) We have some Kiwi friends who lent us some Hillsong material (out of Australia) and enjoyed much of it (some was pretty weak theologically).
I enjoy contemporary Christian music, with limitations. I don't indulge in bands like Sonic Flood where their praise songs to God are rocky and shout'y. However, I don't have a 100% problem with rock music, just Whom it's directed to.
I love CCM! You know, Sweet Comfort Band, The Resurrection Band, 2nd Chapter of Acts, Larry Norman, Phil Keagy, Michael Omatrian etc.
I am not sure if I should listen to John Michael Talbot though, does his theology show up in his lyrics?

I admit I was never much of a CCM fan.
Many years ago I served as a board member for our local crisis pregnancy center, and we held a benefit concert with Phil Keaggy at a large church edifice in the community.
My job was to act as “greeter” at one of the doors with the specific assignment not to let anyone into the auditorium with food or drink … no questions asked.
Just before the scheduled start time for the concert this rather short, funny looking gent in a beret comes walking toward me with a cup of something in his hand. Needless to say he was not going to get by me, and so I stopped him and politely told him that no one was allowed into the auditorium with a beverage. Turns out the funny looking gent was Phil Keaggy himself. Although I saw his picture on our advertising, I did not recognize the man standing before me as the same person. And no one had warned me that he would be entering from the back of the auditorium.
That incident didn’t help with my appreciation for CCM.
You forgot The Daniel Band, Messiah Prophet, and XSinner (oh, wait. They're still around).
I saw REZ back on their Lament tour. Good show, and a great album.
Of course Glen Kaiser is still doing music but REZ as a musical entity has retired from what I read.
Of course you have heard the 'urban legend' that when asked who the greatest guitar player in the world was, Jimmi Hendrix replied, "Phil Keaggy!" Don't know if it is true or not but we young christians sure were proud!

Not true I'm afraid, who Jimi acctually admited to apreciating as a guitarist was Billy Gibbons, not Phil Keaggy. This of course was way before ZZ Top fame.
I read an article about Phil Keaggy 20+ years ago in Rolling Stone magazine, and it mentioned that. What it said actually happened was Jimi Hendrix was asked in an interview, "What's it like being the best guitarist in the world," and he responded by saying, "go ask Phil Keaggy." I imagine at the time, that was probably when Phil was with Glass Harp. I have no way of knowing if it is true, but the article certainly presented it as a factual...not just a story or urban legend. But in any case, Phil Keaggy is certainly a better guitarist than Hendrix ever was, regardless of the quote.
