Non-Christian music

Grew up with rock music, the Who, Springsteen, Dylan, Eric Clapton, etc. As I have gotten older I have become convicted that most of this is in no way God honoring, and have gotten rid of most of it. I now listen to all kings of music everything from Gregorian Chant, to classical to U2, Third Day, DC Talk, Delirious? to Psalms and hymns.

I listen to a lot of Third Day. I also like Selah. They sing some great hymns. I do listen to some CCM, not many groups, but a few.
 
I wonder if there are any brethren like me...

I grew up under the strict guidance of my mother in classical/baroque/romantic music training... once I became Christian, I pretty much weaned off all pop/rock/anything-secular. Classical music, though filled with the brilliance of the intellect which God gave to its composers, became less alluring to me.


Now it's just "Crown Him with many Crowns", "All Hail the power of Jesus name", "No other name" (Trevor Hodge) etc... "There is a fountain" (Selah). Oh and how could I forget! Keith Getty's songs, simply sublime.

Does anyone else listen solely to songs of praise to the exclusion of all other music?
 
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Eph. 5:19-20
Psa. 119:54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

This has become our families guide to music. In our home, automobile, headphones, or laptops we have either the Psalms playing, a sermon playing or a nice audio recording of the Bible. It is sweet, edifying and uplifting and we have come to the point where we do not miss the world's music.
